This article discusses the importance of the production environment which is very much important for the economic success of the organization. To support this modern manufacturing process scalable and flexible production of the effective components has happened to be a serious issue. Knowledge based modelling has been successfully implemented for the production of the macro scale products. As per this article implementation of knowledge based modelling is very much tough for the micro and nano manufacturing. This is very much tough to implement because of the micro and nano products follow tight tolerance with high accuracy. In this case, the author is looking to propose a manufacturing methodology which will support the developers to work in the field of micro and nanomanufacturing.

As per this article process chain utilisation is measured as a method to accomplish the cost effective operation and to achieve a high rate of production of micro and nanodevices. As per this article, there are no approaches to examine the process chains systematically. The systematic analysis can help to bring changes in the design and development of the microfabrication to make it more efficient. So, the main aim of this article is to propose a methodology which will assess the maturity of the micro and nano production techniques and the interfaces of the manufacturing techniques with the process chains. By assessing the maturity level, it will address the requirements for length scale and function integration in the nanodevices. In this article, the design of the two bulk metallic glass enabled master making process chain has been discussed which is used for polymer components serial replication. This type of process chains can successfully be incorporated for both the micro and nanoscale production to get more efficient products.

In this article, the improvements in the micro and nanoscale manufacturing process have been discussed. This paper states that these improvements occurred due to the increased integration, lower energy costs and for improvements in the operation speed. Various types of microfabrication technologies have been implemented to support the micro and nanomanufacturing process, but these processes are not suitable for three dimensional nanostructure products and for all types of nanomaterials. To solve this problem laser based micro and nano manufacturing processes has been implemented because it is applicable to all types of nanomaterials.
