Manufacturing usually finds its use in industrial sector. It is the process of tranforming different raw materials, components, and parts into final tangible goods by hands in factory or with the help of machine.

Manufacturing中文意思是借助机器或者人力操作将原材料、半成品、零件等通过组装、生产的方式转化为视觉可见的、有形的成品的过程，也就是我们通常所说的制造业，广泛使用在工业领域的一个术语。

Production has much wider meaning than Manufacturing. It emphasizes the conversion of input to output with or without the support from machinery. It is not only about goods but also it can be related to intangible outputs, such as services, ideas. The process of transforming both material and non-material inputs into final output is known as Production.

Production比Manufacturing有更丰富的语义。Production强调的是任何由输入到输出的转换过程，这个转换过程不一定需要借助生产机器的参与。不仅可以用Production描述实实在在的有形的产品，也可以用来描述抽象的无形的成果、作品，比如提供的服务、创意创作等。

将物质以及非物质转换成最终输出的过程被称为Production。

Manufacturing is production, but production is not only about manufacturing. In another word, manufacturing is subset of production. Tangible goods can be manufactured but intangible goods can only be produced.

Manufacturing是Production，但Production不一定是Manufacturing。也就是说，Manufacturing是Production的真子集。有形实在的产品可能是Manufacturing的结果，但无形抽象的产品肯定Production的结果。
