PART A: ANALYZING PROCESSING INDUSTRIES
1. In order to analyze specific processing industries you must first understand
the production flow of a processing industry (Figure 2-1). In the production flow,
input materials from the extraction industry are sent to the processing industry.
This industry, depending on the input material, will be either a mechanical,
chemical, or heat industry.
At the specific processing industry a by product or
end product is produced and is then ready for shipment or storage.
