Industry - RAW MATERIALS

For a business to manufacture any type of product, they will need raw materials. Every business needs raw materials, but the next question is do they make the finished product and then transport it, or do they transport the raw materials and then manufacture it. For example, if a white board pen making company wants to transport pens they will transport the finished product rather than the raw material as it is smaller to transport than just transporting the big and bulky raw materials.
