Inputs, processes and outputs of the manufacturing of this electric violin.

Inputs
For the manufacturing of this violin to take place, it is essential for an industry to have the raw materials. It begins the manufacturing by sheets of wood (raw materials) being cut down into the correct sizes to make each part of the violin.

Processes
After the carpenter has marked out the shape of each piece, he uses a band saw to cut the parts out of wood. When he has done that he needs to sand any more excess wood off to make the parts the right size. He then chisels out wood on one of the parts to make a peg box. He then carves out parralel grooves to give the neck of the violin a nice look. He the uses a rasp to shave the wood down the its correct thickness. After that he drills hole for the tuning pegs into the peg box. He finishes the neck of the violin off by filing and sanding it.

These are only some of the processes included in manufacturing an electric violin.

Outputs
The output of this industry is an well crafted, electric violin.

Here is a video showing the production of an electric violin.

Industry

Hello, this is my blog on Industry . An industry has inputs, processes and outputs.
An industry starts manufacturing a product from raw materials. For example a pen factory will start off with plastic sheets. This is its raw material.
