A factory, manufacturing plant or a production plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another.

1 : a station where factors reside and trade a colonial factory. 2a : a building or set of buildings with facilities for manufacturing.

A factory, manufacturing plant or a production plant is an industrial site, often a complex consisting of several buildings filled with machinery, where workers manufacture items or operate machines which process each item into another.

The definition of a factory is where something is made or assembled. An example of a factory is a place where cars are built. A factory is defined as something that makes things quickly and in great quantities. An example of factory is a child’s school where germs are spread quickly, a “germ factory.”

Types of factories

• Repetitive assembly line. In a repetitive manufacturing plant, assembly lines produce a single item multiple times.
• Discrete assembly line.
• Job shop.
• Petroleum, chemicals and plastics.
