Manufacturing is defined in the Macquarie Dictionary as the making of goods or wares by manual labour or by machinery, especially on a large scale. The activity of manufacturing includes any activity that fits the definition of manufacturing, irrespective of whether the activity relates to private individuals, organisations whose principal business is not manufacturing (e.g. retailers), or organisations whose principal business is manufacturing. Excluded are any activities undertaken by these persons and organisations that do not fit the definition of manufacturing (e.g. wholesaling or delivery activities of manufacturers).

Manufacturing technology provides the productive tools that power a growing, stable economy and a rising standard of living. These tools create the means to provide an effective national defense. They make possible modern communications, affordable agricultural products, efficient transportation, innovative medical procedures, space exploration... and the everyday conveniences we take for granted.
Production tools include machine tools and other related equipment and their accessories and tooling. Machine tools are non-portable, power-driven manufacturing machinery and systems used to perform specific operations on man-made materials to produce durable goods or components. Related technologies include Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) as well as assembly and test systems to create a final product or subassembly.
