Industrial Prerequisites for Mechanized Warfare (Post-Apocalypse Edition)

So the Human World has fallen apart: the grid is down, governments have imploded, the economy is in shambles, people have died in the billions, global warming has made severe weather (much more) commonplace and the survivors are warring for dominance Mad-Max-style in ramshackle battle buggies and living off scavenged materials.

Handwaving the plausibility of it (I don't know about that), what if one group decided to rebuild or revive factories and start mass-producing weapons and vehicles? What would be the most viable path of industrial development for such an endeavor? Starting with a stable community of a few hundred with sustainable farming, scavenging, and crafting industries established. Where should they go from there in terms of industrial advancement?
