Producers (also referred to as manufacturers)

are individuals or companies that create, assemble, or construct products or goods. They are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the production process, including sourcing raw materials, designing and engineering the product, and managing the manufacturing and assembly processes. Producers play a critical role in the supply chain, as they transform raw materials into finished products that can be sold to consumers or other businesses. They often work closely with suppliers, distributors, and retailers to ensure that the products meet quality standards, are delivered on time, and are sold at a competitive price. Producers can be found in various industries, such as manufacturing, electronics, automotive, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
