Fertigungsstufen (EN)

Fertigungsstufen

Fertigungsstufen are the individual, consecutive steps or phases of the production process in which raw materials are converted into a finished product. Each stage may require specific machines, workstations, or technologies. The number and design of the manufacturing stages influence the complexity of production planning and the depth of manufacturing of a company.
