1. Introduction to manufacturing laboratories

According to McKinsey & Company, the U.S. manufacturing industry represents only 11 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and eight percent of direct employment, yet it "makes a disproportionate economic contribution, including 20 percent of the nation’s capital investment, 35 percent of productivity growth, 60 percent of exports, and 70 percent of business R&D spending."[1] These categories of economic contribution are important as many of them indirectly point to how the work of laboratories is interwoven within the manufacturing industry. As we'll discuss later in this chapter, manufacturing-based laboratories primarily serve three roles: research and development (R&D), pre-manufacturing and manufacturing, and post-production regulation and security (e.g., through exports and trade). We can be sure that if U.S. manufacturers' efforts represent huge chunks of total business R&D spending, trade, and capital expenditure (capex), a non-trivial amount of laboratory effort is associated with that spending. Why? Because R&D, trade, and manufacturing quality control (QC) activities rarely can occur without laboratories backing up their work.[2][3][4][5]

Labs in the manufacturing sector provide vital services, including but not limited to quality assurance (QA), QC, production control, regulatory trade control (e.g., authenticity and adulteration), safety management, label claim testing, and packaging analysis. These activities occur in a countless number of manufacturing industries, including:

  • cannabis products (e.g., extracts, edibles, beverages)
  • chemical and petrochemical solutions (e.g., solvents, dyes, fuel additives, biofuels)
  • clothing and textiles (e.g., carpeting, upholstery, garments, bulk textiles, paper)
  • construction materials (e.g., brick,
  • electrochemical solutions (e.g., energy storage cells)
  • electronics (e.g., sensors, components, electrodes, mobile devices)
  • food and beverage products (e.g., canned goods, alcoholic drinks, probiotics)
  • health and wellbeing products (e.g., nutraceuticals and dietary supplements)
  • materials (e.g., ceramics, lightweight carbon, nanostructures, Kevlar)
  • medical solutions (e.g., lab-on-a-chip, implants, pharmaceuticals, antivenom)
  • metal-casted solutions (e.g., pipes, pumps, rotational blades)
  • vehicular and aerospace (e.g., electric vehicles, reusable rocketry)
