Difference in Scale

It can include individual or small-scale efforts, such as a farmer producing vegetables or an artist producing artwork. 'Manufacture' often implies large-scale production within an organized system. It typically involves the use of specialized equipment, standardized processes, and assembly lines to efficiently produce goods in significant quantities.
