The inputs, processes and outputs of a business may be varied. Like a Product based Organisation's strategy, structure and systems are likely to differ to that of a Service based Organisation.

Activities of business result in resource allocation, be it tangible (machinery) or intangible (knowledge).

General activities may remain consistent across different types of industry, although tailored to the specific needs of the Entity. Like the Year End Accounts Administering Activities or the Travel / Transport Scheduling Activities.

Industrial Creativity and Innovation Continuity means past, present and future are not only inter- related but evolving to a blurred distinction. Autonomy, technology and distribution are revolutionising benefits to Customers, Consumers, Manufacturers and the whole Supply Chain.

Wants define ideas that shape production design. Made to measure solutions demand intelligent flows and modes. Manufacturing tailors expectations to needs via development (concept - simulation - prototype - realisation), planning and control, communication and modification, plant and assembly, transport and distribution channels and procedures. Opportunities and networks can be simple or complex with built in flexibility to adapt to environmental requirements. Integration prerequisites are strength and growth.

Efficiencies, Economies of Scale and Effectiveness is gelled with concern for environmental damage. Resources being finite and with scarcity, impose capacity conditions, hence Costs and Profits are connected to recirculation and being ecofriendly.

Being able to see the big picture identifies the detail that requires resource allocation. As a CCTV camera over its target - sensors and surveillance impacts security and congestion, the ability to clarify the image and be objective is most relevant.

Industry focal points are thought, interaction, optimisation and action. Awareness is the key.
