Fabrication, is the building of something brand new, that's never been seen before, or invented. Manufacturing, is the duplication of something on a mass scale. Generally, the way it works is, you fabricate something that you need, then manufacture what you fabricate. A good example is, a car company decides to design a brand new car from the ground up.
Q&A. Indirect manufacturing costs are a manufacturer's product costs other than direct materials and direct labor. Indirect manufacturing costs are also referred to as manufacturing overhead, factory overhead, factory burden, or burden.

However, in recent decades the indirect manufacturing costs have increased significantly and are less likely to be caused by the quantity of direct labor or production machine hours.
