Industrial production is the creation of a product, or provision of a service, in a business or industry. It is not limited to something such as making a cheeseburger; it could be anything like the capture of wild foxes for their fur or the operation of a railway service. Alternatively, it can be seen as the transformation of raw materials into products human beings find useful.[1]
