The basic manufacturing process involves a series of steps that occur from concept to final product. It begins with the idea/design stage where product specifications are established and materials are identified as necessary components. From there, raw materials are acquired, pre-processed (if needed), then sent for production.

During this phase the parts or components have value added through various processes like machining, assembly etc. Finally these items must be inspected and tested to ensure they meet quality standards before being packaged & shipped out customers who may take them further stages such marketing/support once product has been developed sufficiently
