1. Process of conversion from inputs to outputs
Production System
Process of conversion from inputs to outputs
Process of converting raw materials or semi-finished product into finished product that have value in the market place
The step by step conversion of one form of materials into another through some processes to create or enhance the utility of the product to the user

2. Production System
Process
Input
Output

3. Production Management
Managing production operations and resources through out the production system
Decision making related to production process so that the resulting goods resource is produced according to specification in the amount and schedule demanded and at minimum cost
Production planning , supervision, maintenance, product development and quality control
An appropriate system to produce a required number of identical plants at a given time at a competitive price
Planning, organizing, directing, coordinating and controlling of the production function carried out in such a way so that the desire good could be produced at the right time, right quantity and quality, and at optimum cost

9. Agricultural Production Management
Combination of land, water, labor and other inputs such as seeds, nutrient, pesticides and machineries in the production of food, feed, fiber and fuel in a right quantity, quality, time and cost

10. Agricultural Production Management Categories
Soil and Crop Management
Pest Management
Nutrient Management
Water Management

11. Soil and Crop Management
What crops and cultivars to grow
In what sequence to utilize the soils production capacity
What tillage, cultivation and soil conservation

12. Pest Management
Determine weed, insect, disease and other threats to crop growth, yield and quality
What preventive actions to take against those pests

13. Nutrient Management
Determine the additional nutrient the soil needs for crop growth
Apply animal manure, compost or commercial fertilizer in forms, amount and ways that foster crop yield and quality, and farm profitability, while reducing nutrient loss to the environment

14. Water Management Determine the water needed for crop growth
Apply water efficiently
Consider water availability

15. Competitive Price
High efficiency production system has to be established with large quantities produced diluting high investment and operating cost
Expensive labor substituting technology
Reduced cost for the same quantity of labor
