Manufacturing is the second largest type of production after primary production activity 'of hunting, fishing, mining, lumbering, farming etc. Manufacturing has undergone a big change as a result of advancement of science and technology.
From the making of few simple items, like hand made cloth, khandsari, mustard oil, agricultural implements etc. manufacturing to-day involves highly technical and complex machines, equipments and tools for the assembly of automobiles, ships, aircrafts, space ships, agricultural machines, computers and so on.
For centuries, manufacturing had been a household work and items like agricultural implements; weapons etc. were produced on a small-scale. But with the increasing demand due to increase in population, it took the form of cottage industry and later, large scale manufacturing industries.
Manufacturing is related to processing and altering the raw materials of agriculture, forests and that of minerals into finished or partially finished products.
The agro raw materials which are transformed into finished products are cotton, wool, jute, sugarcane etc. and that of minerals are iron ore, copper, manganese, mica etc.
Presently, the most important manufacturing industries are those which bring together manufactured items of different industries to make complicated machines and equipments required in means of transportation, agriculture, mining, military warfare etc.
Development of industries is of utmost importance to man. In fact, their development is considered to be an index of a country's economic prosperity and strength.
The location of manufacturing industries depends upon a number of geographical and economic factors. These factors are known as factors of localization of industries or agglomeration of industries. The most important factors are:
(i) Raw material.
(ii) Source of Power.
(iii) Labour.
(iv) Means of transportation.
(v) Market.
(vi) Other factors like climate, Government Policies, capital, water, land etc.
