FACTORS OF PRODUCTION In economics‚ factors of production are the inputs to the production process. Finished goods are the output. Input determines the quantity of output i.e. output depends upon input. Input is the starting point and output is the end point of production process and such input-output relationship is called a production function. ’Factors of production’ may also refer specifically to the ’primary factors’‚ which are stocks including land‚ labor (the ability to work)‚ and capital

Chapter 4 - Methane production 4.1 Microbial consortia and biological aspects of methane fermentation 4.2 Molecular biology of methanogens 4.3 Developments in bioreactor technology References Methane fermentation is a versatile biotechnology capable of converting almost all types of polymeric materials to methane and carbon dioxide under anaerobic conditions. This is achieved as a result of the consecutive biochemical breakdown of polymers to methane and carbon dioxide in an environment

Sugar was not only a stimulant to consumers but also for anyone else in the production of it‚ more and more sugar was being demanded‚ perhaps because of it accessibility or the money that came out of it. If it weren’t for producers‚ consumers‚ and entrepreneurs sugar production would not have been one of the biggest productions of a crop in the world. The organization of sugar met the needs of producers‚ because sugar production was profitable and did not consist of many owners; it met the needs of consumers

Mass production refers to the making of large quantities of standardized products. The process involves division of labour and each worker specializes in one or two tasks‚ doing repetitive work. On the other hand‚ the craftsman is the expert who is solely responsible for all the steps involved in producing the product. There is assumption that the craftsman is the master who has skill‚ and expertise to ensure that all his products are of a good quality. Whether mass production will inevitably lead

THE PRODUCTION PROCESS :THE BEHAVIOR OF PROFIT-MAXIMIZING FIRMS THE BEHAVIOR OF PROFIT-MAXIMIZING FIRMS Production : The process by which inputs are combined‚transformed‚and turned into outputs. Firm : An organization that comes into being when a person or group of people decides to produce a good or services to made a perceived demand Three decisions that all firms must make: 1. How much output to supply 2. How to produce that output 3. How much of each input to demand a) PROFITS AND ECONOMIC

OF LEAN MANUFACTURING & SERVICE PRACTICES Written by Hafez Shurrab ABSTRACT Lean thinking proved its excellence through its techniques and practices. Many organizations – including first lean introducers and practitioners - couldn‘t get the desired outcomes due to different external and internal concerns. This article addresses some relevant limitations and impediments arise when lean practices and techniques are considered for implementation into manufacturing and service contexts‚ lean manufacturing

To understand how growth can occur‚ we need to consider the factors of production. Economists observe that in the production of any good‚ four factors of production are involved. These are 1. Land The physical land‚ but also comprising all the natural resources on the earth‚ below the earth or in the atmosphere. There is a distinction between renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are those that can be used and replaced. For example‚ water in a lake can be used‚ but can

1. Briefly describe salt production from brine production to finished round cans. Salt is produce by drilling the surface for about 2‚400 feet below. Then‚ water is infused in this cave; thus‚ salt is dissolved with the water. The resulting brine is then pumped in the surface‚ boiled and when it evaporates‚ salt crystals will occur with some moisture but can be removed through the drying process. This happen continuously for about 6 weeks but there will come a point where output will reduce (normal
