The word combine has several meanings, but in any case it means the union of several objects on the basis of production or any process.
Meaning and Examples
What is a plant? The meaning of the word in the context of large industry is the union of several enterprises with related areas of production, where the raw materials of one of them serve as the basis for the production of the final product. Several plants may participate in the association.
Organizations with the general name "combine" also participate in the educational process. This is the union of several training or educational institutions of different levels engaged in one process. For example, the union of kindergarten, primary and secondary schools will be considered an educational complex.
Under the general name "combine" several small enterprises or companies can unite. For example, the plant, which was very common earlier, is the “House of Life”, which was involved in servicing the population on various small issues: repair shoes, household appliances, put rivets on clothes or repair a broken umbrella. Under the auspices of the organization, small entrepreneurs worked.
How is an industrial plant different from a factory
A factory is an enterprise where one product is manufactured. For example, a tire factory receives semi-finished products - the feedstock from which the intermediate product is made - rubber. Subsequently, the rubber mixture is sent to the tire production line. The end of the entire technological chain will be tires for various purposes. That is, a plant is an organization of an incomplete cycle, since raw materials are not produced at the enterprise and only one type of product is produced, the rest can be secondary.
Combine is a synthesis of several industries. For example, a metallurgical plant can combine a steel furnace, several blast furnaces, and a complex for the production of steel sheets, wire, pipes, i.e. have a rolling mill. An additional production may be the coke production, which gives the plant fuel.
Training Associations
In the modern educational process, interschool schools are a voluntary association, the purpose of which is the additional professional training of high school students.
Previously, the educational system included a training and production plant. This is a place where children before graduation could learn a practical specialty - sewing, driving a car. Classes took about four hours a week throughout high school. To date, the CPC system has been preserved in Belarus.
