The organised production of goods or services is called industry. Industries can be manufacturing or service industries. Traditionally, however, the world "industry" refer to an economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials into finished goods with the help of machine in factories.

The flour is mixed with yeast, water, milk and salt and then baked in an oven to produce bread. Here, value is added to the raw material wheat, through the process of manufactureye.
Similarly, to make paper, wood is pulped and then pressed into thin sheets of paper. The movement wood changes into paper, it begins to have several new uses for us. So it's value increases.
Most of things we use, like pens,erasers, chairs, books, bread, biscuits, clothes, utensils and sugar are all manufactured goods.
