Manufacturing and supply chain is one of the most complicated processes that occurs at businesses, by and large. We're talking about logistics to get your stuff to the warehouse, storing said inventory, monitoring inventory levels to know when to order, manufacturing goods that take time, then storing the finished goods until they can be shipped, and finally, sending them on their way. I've seen companies from all walks of life, and manufacturing goods is by far the most complicated process I've ever had to dive into.
People think it's easy because it's simple on the small scale. There's nothing I know of that's harder to scale than manufacturing operations.
