Production concept emphasis on low production costs, and high production efficiency and mass production simply said a large amount of the cheapest goods.
Where Q = The quantity of output produced per unit time
K = Capital
L = Labour

The function of production :
The function of production is the technological relationship between inputs and output in physical terms. An algebraic expression for production is Q = f (K, L)Where Q = The quantity of output produced per unit time
K = Capital
L = Labour
Characteristics of the production system :
- The production system has its own objective.
- The system transforms the various inputs to the useful output.
- Does not operate in isolation from the other organization system.
- There exists a procedure which controls and improve system performance.
Types of production :
- Continuous production
- Batch production
- Mass production
- Job-shop production
