Production uses resources to create a good or service that is suitable for use, gift-giving in a gift economy, or exchange in a market economy. This can include manufacturing, storing, shipping, and packaging. production is measured as a “rate of output per period of time”.
Production Theory There are three aspects to production processes: – the quantity of the good or service produced, – the form of the good or service created, – the temporal and spatial distribution of the good or service produced.
