Industry  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Industry characterizes the production and further processing of material goods and equipment. In contrast to crafts, industrial production is characterized by an automation process. The development is called industrialization. There are other forms of industry, such as the service industry in the form of tourism or music and entertainment.Great industry is an industry designed for mass production. The more is produced, the cheaper the goods can be sold. In addition to automation, the aspect of division of labour is particularly important. "Just in time" and "lean production" are becoming increasingly important in today's fast-moving world and the age of globalization. It is increasingly produced only on request and to order, less mass production. The individual product is important. In the automotive industry, for example, customers' wishes are taken into account individually and implemented in car construction. Thus, the quotation"The customer is king" has a special meaning - because it meets his wishes.
