Manufacturing is the process of creating a finished or semi finished goods through value addition to the raw material using machines, labour, tools, chemical and biological processing.The manufacturing process combines a variety of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most generally applied to industrial production, in which raw materials(like plastics, coals, cured oils, gasses etc.) are processed and transformed into finished or semi finished goods on a large scale which are able to use by the other manufacturing units or by the end consumers.

Standard costing is a significant toolfor a manufacturing business.Standard costs are commonly associated with a company working in manufacturing sector, the costing method used in calculating standard costs of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
Rather than assigning the actual costs of direct labor, manufacturing overhead and direct material to a product, many manufacturers used to assign the expected or standard cost and the comparing this standard cost with actual cost incurred, by this they can find the variances in the estimates.So they can find the area which is consuming higher cost than expected.This will help to reanalyze the inefficient process to ensure better productivity and efficiency.
