Supermarket production operations include ordering and pricing inventory, stocking the shelves, packaging and displaying products, and so on. Government issues permits and licenses, collect taxes, register voters, provide police and fire protection, and so on. Contractors construct, repair and demolish buildings, build highways and bridges, and landscape parks. Similarly banks grant loans, cash or issue cheques and handle deposits and withdrawals.

Production process vary greatly in complexity, production time and the amount of resources, information and planning needed and the number and type of machines and employees needed, and the number of employees and machine needed.
