Question

Different aspects of the industrial system with examples

Answer 1

 The functioning of an industry depends on a system, known as the industrial system. An industrial system consists of inputs, process and outputs.

For e.g. Cotton Textile Industry:
Input: Cotton as raw materials, labour, costs of land, transport, power and other infrastructure.
Process: Ginning, Spinning, Weaving, Dyeing, Printing, etc.
Output: Cloth or garments wear.

Answer 2

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM

Industrial System is required to manufacture any product. Now this involves some steps. Those are listed below:

INPUT :

Inputs can be divided into two groups.

- Physical inputs are naturally occurring things such as water, raw materials and the land.

-Human or Cultural Inputs are things like money, labour, and skills.

PROCESS :

Processes are the actions within the industry that change the raw materials into the finished product. For instance, all the processes needed to change pieces of wood into a chair.

OUTPUT :

Outputs can be negative or positive, although they are usually the latter. Negative outputs include waste products, such as off-cuts. The positive outputs are the finished product and the money gained from the sale of that product.

EXAMPLE :

Following are the inputs, processes and outputs of the iron and steel industry:

Inputs: Iron ore, Coal, Limestone, Manganese, Labour, Capital, Cite and other Infrastructure.

Process: Converting iron ore into steel involves many stages. The raw material is put in the blast furnace where it undergoes smelting and then it is refined.

Output: Iron and Steel is obtained which is used by other industries as raw material.
