Production involves creating and/or transforming goods .
From the Latin productĭo , the concept of production refers to the action of generating (understood as a synonym for producing) , to the object produced , to the way in which the process was carried out or to the sum of the products of the soil or of the industry.
In this sense, a sentence that could serve as a perfect example of what we have pointed out could be the following: "Jesus's father's company had been operating for many years and was dedicated to the production of feed for the area's livestock."
The verb "produce," on the other hand, is associated with the ideas of "begetting ," " procreating ," "rearing ," " procuring ," " originating ," " causing ," and " making ." When referring to land, on the other hand, "producing" is a notion that describes the situation of yielding fruit . On the other hand, when this word is applied to an element, it acquires the sense of "renting" or "yielding interest ."
Production in the economy
In the field of economics , production is defined as the creation and processing of goods and commodities . The process encompasses conception, processing, and financing, among other stages. Production is one of the most important economic processes and is the means by which human labor generates wealth .
There are various ways of carrying out a certain production within a society , determined by the production links that individuals establish in the work context. Through production relations, individual work becomes a part of social work .
For the German philosopher Karl Marx , the mode of production is not determined by the object or the quantity produced, nor by how much is produced, but by the way in which said production is carried out.
Music production encompasses various activities related to the recording of songs.
Chain organization and other work systems
Since we have already mentioned the figure of a historical character, returning to history it is necessary to highlight a term that was born during the era of industrialization and that managed to become a real phenomenon and an innovation. We are referring to the concept of mass production .
This term is used to define a work system, especially in the industrial field, in which each employee has a specific function that depends on another function to be carried out and which in turn causes another function to emerge from it. A form of organisation that can be perfectly visualised in the film Modern Times (1936) by Charles Chaplin.
Among the different modes of production, we can mention the slave mode (where the labor force is enslaved, therefore, it is not the property of the worker), the feudal mode (related to agricultural activity) and the capitalist mode (where the worker, through a contract, sells his labor force in exchange for a salary).
Audiovisual production and music production
In addition to all of the above, it should also be noted that there are other types of production that refer to very specific fields. Thus, we find, for example, audiovisual production , which deals with content such as film and television. Hence, companies that are dedicated to developing work in both areas are known as production companies.
And we must not forget music production . This is specifically the type of production carried out by a professional who is dedicated, in the field that gives it its name, to controlling and supervising the recording of songs by a specific artist or group.
