A factory is known as a space that is made up of an infrastructure and inside it has some utensils that will be used for the production of certain goods; while the verb to manufacture means obtaining products that will be offered for sale for many individuals. In other words, manufacturing is nothing more than the conversion of a raw material into a product that is susceptible to marketing and its use by many customers; This process can be carried out by means of machines or some manual work, in case the production is carried out by the worker's own hands, it is known as " Craftsmanship ".
Generally speaking, the manufacturing process involves industrial or massive production where many models of the same product are produced that will be offered for sale at numerous points; As well as the production chain, which allows the serial production of the same model to be sold periodically for many years, the product is obtained more quickly and with a significant decrease in cost, another difference with mass manufacturing is that workers fulfill a specific and repeated function that, together with the work of their colleagues, contributes to the elaboration of the product.
Concluding then that factories are the buildings or structures where different products are manufactured based on a raw material; For example, the socks factory: to be able to produce a pair of socks, at least three machines are needed, because they do not buy the fabric but the cotton directly to transform it into the right fabric for the manufacture of the mentioned garment.
At present, where technology is already part of the human body, factories are also known but these would have a virtual character, where the product they offer is not tangible but is offered in the form of a service; such as the different software factories, where the product is made from a large group of people whose sole function is to program the software that will go on sale.
