Production 1
Production management is concerned with planning and controIIing industrial processes which
produce and distribute products and services. Techniques of production management are also
used in service industries: here they are called operations management. During production
processes, inputs are converted into outputs. These processes take many forms: from basic
agriculture to large-scale manufacturing. Much manufacturing takes place in factories, where
assembly lines allow a steady flow of raw materials (inputs) and finished products (outputs).
People in production focus on efficiency and effectiveness of processes in order to maximize
productivity. To achieve overall success, it is important to measure, analyse and evaluate these
processes. However, other activities als o con tribute to success: purchasing, inventory control.
quality control. storage, logistics.
..---
Production varies according to the inputs,
processes
and outputs. Other important factors are the
place
of production and the
resources.
In addition,
stock,
a major cost, needs to be carefully
controlled, and the equipment must be regularly
maintained
to remain productive and prevent
breakdowns.

Study the
Productivity Conceptual Model
below:
A simple way of looking at productivity in a business
organization is to think of it in terms of the
productivity model. The
Productivity Conceptual Model
below takes the form of a 'productivity tree'. The roots
denote the inputs to the system, the trunk the
conversion process and the leaves and fruit the system
outputs.
