Women Deciding upon Manufacturing

The fabrication or assembly of components into finished products on a fairly large scale is nothing but manufacturing, and it encompasses major industries that produce aircraft, automobiles, chemicals, clothing, computers, consumer electronics, electrical equipment, furniture, heavy machinery, refined petroleum products and more. Fueled by a dynamic entrepreneurial spirit, robust technological infrastructure and a highly skilled human workforce the manufacturing industry is skyrocketing today. Being a male-dominated industry traditionally, less than one third of manufacturing employees are women. Though there have been improvements in recent years, unfortunately female representation falls short when it comes to manufacturing and engineering services. Researches reflect, only 12 percent of manufacturing employees are women, making it a high-time for women to jump into something new and work with latest innovation and tools.
