Production and operations management talks about applying business organization and management concepts in creation of goods and services. The desired output is achieved through separation or extraction from raw materials. A classic example of separation or extraction is Oil into various fuel products. Production through modification involves change in chemical and mechanical parameters of the raw material without altering physical attributes of the raw material. Annealing process (heating at high temperatures and then cooling), is example of production by modification or improvement.
