The process of transforming raw materials into finished goods is generally called

manufacturing or production, and it involves several stages. Here's a simplified


breakdown of the typical process:

Procurement of Raw Materials:

This is the initial stage where the necessary raw materials are sourced from
suppliers. These materials can be anything from metals, plastics, and wood, to
fabric or chemicals, depending on the product being made.
Design and Planning:

The product’s design is finalized, and a production plan is created. This includes
determining the best manufacturing process, scheduling, and resource allocation. It
ensures that the right materials and equipment are available.
Processing/Production:

This is the stage where raw materials are transformed into intermediate components
or products. It can include various processes, such as:
Molding, casting, or forging (for metals or plastics)
Cutting, shaping, or machining (for wood, metal, etc.)
Assembly (for products made from multiple components)
Chemical processing (for items like pharmaceuticals or cosmetics)
Quality Control:

Throughout the production process, quality checks are performed to ensure that
materials and products meet the required standards. This includes inspections,
testing, and sampling.
Assembly:

After individual components are created or processed, they are assembled into the
final product. This may include manual or automated assembly lines depending on the
complexity of the product.
Finishing:

This stage includes adding final touches to the product such as painting, coating,
packaging, or labeling. This ensures the product is complete and ready for sale or
use.
Packaging:

The finished goods are packaged in materials that protect them during shipping and
handling. Packaging may also include branding or instructional materials.
Distribution:

The finished products are then sent to warehouses, retail stores, or directly to
customers, depending on the business model.
Post-Sale Services:

Some industries also include post-production support, such as warranties,


maintenance, or customer service, to ensure the product performs well and meets
customer satisfaction.
