जिन प्रक्रियाओं में किसी चीज के निर्माण के लिये रासायनिक या यांत्रिक चरणों (steps) की आवश्यकता होती हैं उन्हें औद्योगिक प्रक्रम (Industrial processes) कहते हैं। बड़े-बड़े उद्योगों में औद्योगिक प्रक्रम मुख्य भूमिका निभाते हैं। 

Most processes make the production of an otherwise rare material vastly cheaper in price, thus changing it into a commodity; i.e. the process makes it economically feasible for society to use the material on a large scales, in machinery, or a substantial amount of raw materials, in comparison to batch or craft processes. Production of a specific material may involve more than one type of process. Most industrial processes result in both a desired product(s) and by-products, many of which are toxic, hazardous, or hard to deal with. Very, very few processes are self-contained.

सामान्य प्रक्रम 
These may be applied on their own, or as part of a larger process.

विद्युत अपघटन 

The availability of electricity and its effect on materials gave rise to several processes for plating or separating metals.
 Gilding, Electroplating, Anodization, Electrowinning - depositing a material on an electrode
 Electropolishing - the reverse of electroplating
 Electrofocusing - similar to electroplating, but separating molecules
 Electrolytic process - the generic process of using electrolysis
 Electrophoretic deposition - electrolytic deposition of colloidal particles in a liquid medium
 Electrotyping - using electroplating to produce printing plates
 Metallizing, Plating, Spin coating - the generic term for giving non-metals a metallic coating

भौतिक प्रक्रम (Physical processes) 
There are several physical processes for reshaping a material by cutting, folding, joining or polishing, developed on a large scale from workshop techniques.

 Forging - the shaping of metal by use of heat and hammer
 Casting - shaping of a liquid material by pouring it into moulds and letting it solidify
 Machining - the mechanical cutting and shaping of metal
 Progressive stamping - the production of components from a strip or roll
 Hydroforming - a tube of metal is expanded into a mould under pressure
 Sandblasting - cleaning of a surface using sand or other particles
 Soldering, Brazing, Welding - a process for joining metals
 Tumble polishing - for polishing
 Precipitation hardening - heat treatment used to strengthen malleable materials
 Work hardening - adding strength to metals, alloys, etc.
 Case hardening, Differential hardening, Shot peening - creating a wear resistant surface
 Die cutting - A "forme" or "die" is pressed onto a flat material to cut, score, punch and otherwise shape the material.

मोल्डिंग (Moulding) 
The physical shaping of materials by forming their liquid form using a mould.
 Casting, Sand casting - the shaping of molten metal or plastics using a mould
 Sintering, Powder metallurgy - the making of objects from metal or ceramic powder
 Blow moulding as in plastic containers or in the Glass Container Industry - making hollow objects by blowing them into a mould.
 Compression molding

विलगन (Separation) 
Many materials exist in an impure form, purification, or separation provides a usable product.
 Comminution - reduces the size of physical particles (it exists between crushing and grinding)
 Froth flotation, flotation process - separating minerals through floatation
 Solvent extraction - dissolving one substance in another
 Frasch process - for extracting molten sulfur  from the ground

आसवन 
 Fractional distillation, Steam distillation, Vacuum distillation - separating materials by their boiling point
 Batch distillation
 Continuous distillation
 Fractionating column
 Spinning cone

लोहा एवं इस्पात 
Early production of iron was from meteorites, or as a by-product of copper refining. Heating iron ore and carbon in a crucible at 1000 K produces wrought iron. This process gained popularity during the Iron Age. Temperatures of 1300 K were produced around the 8th century by blowing air through the heated mixture in a bloomery or blast furnace (12th century); producing a strong but brittle cast iron. Furnaces were growing bigger, producing greater quantities; a factor contributing to the Industrial Revolution. In 1740 the temperature and carbon content could be controlled sufficiently to consistently produce steel; very strong and very workable. The 19th century saw the development of electric arc furnaces that produced steel in very large quantities, and are more easily controlled.

 Smelting - the generic process used in furnaces to produce steel, copper, etc.
 Catalan forge, Open hearth furnace, Bloomery, Siemens regenerative furnace - produced wrought iron
 Blast furnace - produced cast iron
 Direct Reduction - produced direct reduced iron
 Crucible steel

 Basic oxygen steelmaking, Linz-Donawitz process
 Electric arc furnace

The nature of an organic molecule means it can be transformed at the molecular level to create a range of products.
 Cracking (chemistry) - the generic term for breaking up the larger molecules.
 Alkylation - refining of crude oil
 Burton process - cracking of hydrocarbons
 Cumene process - making phenol and acetone from benzene
 Friedel-Crafts reaction, Kolbe-Schmitt reaction
 Olefin metathesis, Thermal depolymerization
 Transesterification - organic chemicals
 Raschig process, Ketazine process, Peroxide process - part of the process to produce nylon
 Formox process - the oxidation of methanol to produce formaldehyde.
