Manufacturing Industries and


Products
Classification of Manufacturing Industries:
Primary
Cultivates and exploits natural resources such as
petroleum, fishing, mining, etc...

Secondary
Converts the outputs of the primary industries into products
such as Aerospace, automotive, computers, etc...

Tertiary
Constitutes the service sector of the economy ,such as
banking, education, health ,etc

Manufacturing Industries
According to the International Standard
Industrial Classification (ISIC):
Process industries
Such as chemicals, Pharmaceuticals , Petroleum, etc

Discrete product industries


Such as automobiles ,aircraft, appliances, computers, etc

Manufacturing Industries
The process and Discrete industries are
divided into:
Continuous production
The production equipment is used exclusively for the given
product and the output of the product is uninterruptable,
such as gas, liquid, powder, etc

Batch production
Input and output are in finite quantities.

Manufactured Product
Final products can be divided into:
Consumer goods
Capital goods
