Industry is a catch-all term for all the industrial activities within EVE: mining, gas huffing, manufacturing, researching, invention, reprocessing, and reverse engineering.
Industry is vitally important to the EVE economy and activity, as without industrial-minded players building the ships and modules and ammunition required for PvE and PvP combat, combat-minded players could not function. Virtually none of these items are seeded on the market; almost everything in EVE is player-built (you can identify NPC sell orders on the market by their >300 day duration).
This page shows you a general introduction to each aspect of industry, with an overview of the Industry window: what it shows you, how to understand it and how to start a simple job. For further details on mining, manufacturing, research, invention, teams and other aspects of industry, see the links in the box to the right.
Production
Production refers to everything you can do with a blueprint in the Industry window: manufacturing of items, time efficiency and material efficiency research of blueprints, blueprint copying, invention, and reverse engineering. Production is a vital part of the EVE Online economy, and can be carried out in any security space, in any station with the appropriate facilities or in an upwell structure with the necessary service modules.

Resources
All manufacturing requires materials to be obtained to use in the production process, and there are various sources of raw materials in New Eden that require harvesting, in order to gather these resources.
