Abstract

In an extended sense, the term industry means the totality of enterprises occupied with the production of instruments of labor, extraction of raw materials and minerals, and power generation. It also includes the further processing of products manufactured in industry or in other activities (agriculture and forestry, fishing). Electric power generation and transmission were considered earlier in Chap. 1, while extraction of raw and other materials is described in Chap. 3. The branches considered here belong to the manufacturing industry. They include the enterprises occupied with processing raw and other materials. The characteristic features of these industrial enterprises are serial production, division of labor, and the use of highly productive machines and equipment and their maximum specialization.
