Manufacturing industry as a system. Question will be limited to:
− inputs, processes and outputs;
− the influence of site, raw materials, fuel supplies, labour supply, transport, markets and government policy on industrial location.

A case study of a chemical industry on a river estuary to illustrate
the nature and location of a heavy industry.
• Modern, footloose industry (information and communication
technology (ICT) and micro-electronics) along the M4 corridor to
illustrate the influence of transport, skilled labour, research centres
and greenfield sites on location.
