Light Manufacturing
Light manufacturing refers to the production of goods that are relatively simple to make, typically involving assembly or finishing processes, but not heavy or capital-intensive production.
Light manufacturing includes a wide range of products and industries, and can be performed in both large-scale factories and small-scale workshops. Here are five examples of light manufacturing:
- Textile and Apparel manufacturing: The production of clothing, fabrics, and other textiles, which often involves cutting, sewing, and finishing processes.
- Footwear manufacturing: The production of shoes, boots, and other footwear, which often involves cutting, stitching, and finishing processes.
- Furniture manufacturing: The production of tables, chairs, and other furniture, which often involves cutting, shaping, and finishing wood, metal, or other materials.
- Toy and Sporting goods manufacturing: The production of toys, games, and sporting equipment which often involves assembling and finishing processes.
- Electronics assembly: The production of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices, which often involves assembling and testing processes.
