How it's used
Refers specifically to the technical or industrial sequence of creating goods, rather than the act of giving birth. It is a formal term often found in business reports or factory settings, so it sounds slightly stiff in casual conversation. Use it when discussing efficiency, quality control, or manufacturing steps.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe giving birth, which is 生仔 or 分娩. Using this term for human childbirth sounds cold and dehumanizing.
