Order-taking industry - Employment industry

Japanese: 受注産業 - じゅちゅうさんぎょう

This refers to industries such as shipbuilding, construction, and industrial machinery, where producers (manufacturers) only begin production after receiving an order from the consumer. This term is used in contrast to market-based industries that are based on forecast production. In order-based industries, the specifications required by clients are highly individual, so even if standard products are produced in anticipation, they will not sell. In addition, the price per unit is often extremely high, and they take a long time to complete. Therefore, the payment is usually made in several installments: at the time of contract, at an appropriate intermediate time, and when the product is delivered. During periods of rapid inflation, it may not be profitable to use the price at the time of order, and an inflation-adjusted price sliding system may be introduced.

Japanese:

生産者(メーカー)が需要先から注文を受けて初めて生産を始める，造船，建設，産業機械などの産業をいう。見込み生産を前提とする市況産業などに対する用語。受注産業では，注文主の要求する仕様の個別性が強いため，標準品を見込み生産しても売れない。また1件当りの価格がきわめて高いものが多く，その完成に要する時間も長い。したがって通常，代金は契約時，中間の適当な時期，製品の引渡し時と数回に分けて支払われる。なおインフレの進行が激しい時期には，受注時点の価格では採算がとれないことがあり，価格のインフレ･スライド制が導入されたりする。
