Materials

Materials are at the centre of the production chain in processing industries. Whatever a factory’s area of activity, it always needs raw materials and supplies in order to operate.

A few definitions

Raw materials are materials produced by nature which are extracted and used by man to manufacture consumer goods. They include, for example, agricultural raw materials (wheat and oil), ores (gold and iron) and energy raw materials (petroleum and gas).

Consumables and supplies, for their part, are materials consumed at the same time as the raw materials in the production process.

Semi-finished products refers to products which have already undergone processing but which must undergo further processing before being ready for use. They can therefore be sold to other manufacturers or transferred to other subcontractors to undergo this additional processing.
