Answer:

The correct answer is: C) Furniture manufacturer: woodàsandingàchair

Step-by-step explanation:

A production system can be defined as a set of activities and operations that take place for the production of goods or services. The activities and operations of a production system are independent, but integrated, which is what will determine the result of the system.

The organization of a system is made up of:

  • inputs -> processes -> outputs

The inputs correspond to raw materials, information, employees, consumers, etc., which will be processed to be transformed into products and services (outputs). So the alternative that correctly describes a production system, is the letter c: Furniture manufacturer: wood (input) sanding (processes) chair (output)

The production system is influenced by the organization's internal and external environment. In the internal environment it is influenced by the functional areas of the company, such as marketing, finance, etc., which are part of the organizational system. In the external environment, the influences to the production system are politics, ecnonomy, technology, competitiveness, laws, etc.
