       The Context of Manufacturing
     
      Manufacturing is part of a bigger scheme 
      known as operations. 
      Operations takes in all systems that involve 
      getting work done.

      The same principles apply to both. 
                                 
              The Context of Manufacturing
          Operations is a transformation process.
          Inputs are transformed into outputs.  
          Goal is to create and add value to the inputs 
          during the transformation. 
                              Inputs                                                   Outputs

           Manufacture: adding value to a raw material 
           by changing its shape or properties.
