semifinished products, for example (the manufacturing of goods, or the generation of power and
the production of petrol)

THE PRODUCTION PROCCESS
IT’S the way in which a business develops products from primary products to outputs or finished
goods .
GOODS—are also known as wares, it’s the final product of the production process. It’s tangible so
you can see it and touch it, and it can be durable for example electronic devices or non durable it
means that they have a short life like medicines or food.
SERVICES—they are not tangible so they can’t be touched or seen an they are benefits or
assistance provided to the costumer. For example (lawyers or doctors)
INPUTS—are all of the resources that the industrial production needs to obtain a certain output
(for example raw materials, finance, information)
OUTPUTS—it’s what also are the goods and services that are made at the end of the production
process. And the goal of the company is the productive efficiency which is the production number
of outputs just using the minimum number of inputs to gain more profits.
