The manufacturing process involves a series of steps that convert raw materials into finished products. It is a value-added process that creates products with greater value than the sum of their individual parts. The manufacturing process can be divided into several stages, including:

Today, the "story" of this book lives on in the thousands of copies (and PDFs) circulating in technical universities. While newer, more high-tech books exist, Khurmi’s work is often the first place a student looks to understand the fundamental mechanics of how things are made.

Khurmi categorizes manufacturing processes into several types, including:
