Document Summary
Producion is a vital business acivity just like markeing and inance. Producion process just as important to not-for-proit organizaions. Three kinds of producion: mass, lexible, and consumer driven. Producion processes uses either an analyic or syntheic system; ime requirements use either coninuous or intermitent process. Analyic producion reduces raw materials to its component parts to extract one or more marketable products. Petroleum reining breaks down crude oil into several marketable products like gasoline, heaing oil, and aviaion fuel. Syntheic producion system is the reverse of an analyic process as it combines two or more raw materials to make a inished product. A coninuous producion process creates inished products over a long period of ime. An intermitent producion process creates products in short producion runs. Producion changes rapidly as computer tech coninues to develop. Computer-aided design and manufacturing: computer-aided design (cad) is a process used by engineers to design enire products on the computer.
