Simply choose the number of runs, check the input/output locations (most of the time this will simply be Item Hangar, but if you have your own personal corporation you may be using corp facilities) and press Start.

You also have the option of selecting a [[Teams|Team]] to assist your manufacturing process, if there is one in the system. If the team you wish to use modifies material efficiency, deciding whether to use it should be simple matter of comparing installation cost increase to estimate input cost decrease ''(with the proviso that it is only an estimation, not an actual value)''. If the team modifiers time efficiency, it may be more difficult to decide whether to use one.

While the job is running, you can check on its progress using the same Industry window, in the Jobs tab. Select the Jobs tab, and a list of your currently running jobs will be displayed. You can cancel the job if you want your blueprint back for some reason, but none of the materials used or installation costs will be refunded.

Finally, once the job is completed, job listed in the Jobs tab will contain a large Deliver button instead of a time remaining display; press this and the results & blueprint will be returned to the station.
