Finished goods and excess raw materials are stored in
Storage Yards (see page 84-85). These items can be
exported from the city’s Storage Yards, and Storage
Yard delivery men bring finished goods and raw mate-
rials to buildings that require them. Storage Yards and
their role within the city are discussed fully in the next
chapter.

Efficient industries are profitable industries. The more
goods an industry turns out, the more money can be
made on the open market, or the better supplied your
citizens will be with the products and services they
crave. Providing plenty of workers for the city’s indus-
tries is a good way to keep them active. An under-
staffed industry will turn out products at a much slow-
er rate.
When you plan your city’s industries, make sure raw
materials producers are near their corresponding man-
ufacturers. The longer a raw materials delivery man has
to travel to make his delivery, the more likely it is that
a manufacturer may fall idle in the meantime.
