Course: Cybersecurity in Manufacturing (13002-III) > Section: Understanding Production Processes

Differentiation should include the characteristics of primary and secondary manufacturing processes:

- Primary manufacturing processes
  - Obtaining raw materials
  - Producing useable industrial materials

- Secondary manufacturing processes
  - Casting and molding
  - Forming
  - Separating
  - Conditioning
  - Assembling
  - Finishing

Differentiation should also include the concept that, often, the manufacture of a product will utilize several of these processes, and that automation is involved throughout these processes.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between a primary and secondary process?
- What are examples of combining processes?
