 Concept of Production Process

• The production process refers to a series of activities and steps that transform raw materials, components, or
inputs into finished goods or products.

• It is a fundamental aspect of manufacturing and plays a crucial role in various industries, including
manufacturing, agriculture, construction, food, defense, healthcare, and more.

• The goal of a production process is to efficiently and effectively create goods that meet certain quality
standards while optimizing resources such as time, labour, and materials.

• Comprehensively, the production process is a complex and dynamic system that requires careful planning,
management, and coordination to deliver high-quality products efficiently and effectively.

Inputs
• Inputs are the physical and human resources utilized in the production process. They consist of planning, raw materials, parts, capital
equipment and machinery, human effort, money, technology, time, organization (which type of organisation it is
MNC/standalone/government/private), government interaction.

• Example – Interior Industry – designer, labour, machines and tools used in making furniture
Transformational/Conversion Process
• The process or method that is used to convert the inputs into outputs

• It refers to a series of operations which are performed on materials and parts.

• These are influenced by product mix, plant, labour cost, materials handling equipment, material cost, production
cost

•Outputs
Example – 3D rendering, measurements, raw material procurement, estimating the product quantity, the timeline of
the project
• Final product or intermediary product that generates revenue

• Factors affecting the output is price, delivery, quality, profitability

• Example – bed, sofa, kitchen furniture, almirah, etc.

Feedback Analysis

• Determining the deviation in the planned and actual output.

• Deviation in production can take place due to managerial errors or non-managerial errors.

• Some managerial techniques used are MIS, special reports (P&L, Balance sheet), progress charges,
PERT, and CPM charts.

• Example – client opinion on the work and rectifying the mistakes if any

Control
• To avoid deviations methods
such as quality control,
inventory management, and
maintenance control are
conducted
