In the machinery area, where assembling is a <br />key activity, parts and accessories for manufactured products are classified in the industry of the finished <br />manufactured item when they are made for separate sale. For example, a replacement refrigerator door <br />would be classified with refrigerators and an attachment for a piece of metal working machinery would be <br />classified with metal working machinery. However, components, input from other manufacturing <br />establishments, are classified based on the production function of the component manufacturer. For <br />example, electronic components are classified in Subsector 334, Computer and Electronic Product <br />Manufacturing and stampings are classified in Subsector 332, Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing. <br />Manufacturing establishments often perform one or more activities that are classified outside the <br />Manufacturing sector of NAICS. For instance, almost all manufacturing has some captive research and <br />development or administrative operations, such as accounting, payroll, or management. These captive <br />services are treated the same as captive manufacturing activities. When the services are provided by <br />separate establishments, they are classified to the NAICS sector where such services are primary, not in <br />manufacturing. <br />The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can be somewhat <br />blurry. The establishments in the manufacturing sector are engaged in the transformation of materials into <br />new products. Their output is a new product. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product <br />can be somewhat subjective. As clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in <br />NAICS: Milk bottling and pasteurizing; Water bottling and processing; Fresh fish packaging (oyster <br />shucking, fish filleting); Apparel jobbing (assigning of materials to contract factories or shops for <br />fabrication or other contract operations) as well as contracting on materials owned by others; Printing and <br />related activities; Ready -mixed concrete production; Leather converting; Grinding of lenses to <br />prescription; Wood preserving; Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing for the trade; <br />Lapidary work for the trade; Fabricating signs and advertising displays; Rebuilding or <br />Cabarrus Economic Development 3003 Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, Kannapolis, NC 28083 USA <br />704.782.4000 1 CabarrusEDC.com I Face Book.com /CabarrusEDC I Twitter.com /CabarrusEDC <br />INTERNATIONALECONOA C <br />//�������. // /O /O:�P'.M[�J-/1�E����Ny�T��CC��OOUUUNCIL <br />Altaai .0 bYdW ryAO¢rtiw� <br />1 -1 Page 492 <br />
