Manufacturing Definitions

What are raw materials in manufacturing?

• Waste materials generated during manufacturing

• Basic substances or components used to produce finished goods

• Finished goods ready for sale

• Tools and equipment used in the manufacturing process

What is mass production in manufacturing?

• Production of goods in small quantities using specialized processes and machinery.

• Production of goods in large quantities using standardized processes and machinery.

• Production of goods in large quantities using customized processes and machinery.

• Production of goods in small quantities using standardized processes and machinery.

What are properties in manufacturing?

• The tools and equipment used in manufacturing

• The process of assembling products

• The cost of manufacturing a product

• Characteristics or attributes of a product or material

What does biodegradable mean in manufacturing?

• Materials or products that can only be broken down by chemical processes.

• Materials or products that cannot be broken down naturally by bacteria or other living organisms.

• Materials or products that can be broken down naturally by weathering or erosion.

• Materials or products that can be broken down naturally by bacteria or other living organisms.

What is forming in manufacturing?

• Assembling pre-made components

• Mixing different materials together

• Breaking down materials into smaller pieces

• Shaping or transforming raw materials into a desired shape or form

What are the main components of raw materials?

• elements, compounds, or mixtures

• metals, minerals, or gases

• atoms, molecules, or solutions
