Economic well-being is created in a production process, meaning all economic activities that aim directly or indirectly to satisfy human needs. The degree to which the needs are satisfied is often accepted as a measure of economic well-being.
The satisfaction of needs originated from the use of the commodities which are produced. The need for satisfaction increases when the quality-price-ratio of commodities improves and more satisfaction is achieved at less cost. Improving the quality-price-ratio of commodities is a producer an essential way to enhance production performance but this kind of gains distributed to customers cannot be measured with production data.
Economic well-being also increases due to the growth of incomes that are gained from the growing and more efficient production. The most important forms of production are market production, public production and production in households. In order to understand the origin of the economic well-being we must understand these three processes. All of them have production functions of their own which interact with each other. Market production is the prime source of economic well-being.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Productivity is created in the real process, productivity gains are distributed in the income distribution process and these two processes constitute the production process. The production process and its sub-processes, the real process and income distribution process occur simultaneously, and only the production process is identifiable and measurable by the traditional accounting practices. The real process and income distribution process can be identified and measured by extra calculation, and this is why they need to be analysed separately in order to understand the logic of production performance.
Real process generates the production output from input, and it can be described by means of the production function. It refers to a series of events in production in which production inputs of different quality and quantity are combined into products of different quality and quantity. Products can be physical goods, immaterial services and most often combinations of both. The characteristics created into the product by the producer imply surplus value to the consumer, and on the basis of the price this value is shared by the consumer and the producer in the marketplace. This is the mechanism through which surplus value originates to the consumer and the producer likewise. It is worth noting that surplus values to customers cannot be measured from any production data. Instead the surplus value to a producer can be measured. It can be expressed both in terms of nominal and real values. The real surplus value to the producer is an outcome of the real process, real income, and measured proportionally it means productivity.

A result and a criterion of success of the owner is profitability. The profitability of production is the share of the real process result the owner has been able to keep to himself in the income distribution process. Factors describing the production process are the components of profitability, i.e., returns and costs. They differ from the factors of the real process in that the components of profitability are given at nominal prices whereas in the real process the factors are at periodically fixed prices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row tooltip_color=”color1″][vc_column width=”1/1″][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″ icon_align=”left” tag=”h” tooltip_color=”color1″ color=”color10″]TEDx Talk about productivity![/ish_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][ish_embed tooltip_color=”color1″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHxhjDPKfbY[/ish_embed][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Monetary process refers to events related to financing the business. Market value process refers to a series of events in which investors determine the market value of the company in the investment markets.
Income distribution process of the production refers to a series of events in which the unit prices of constant-quality products and altering inputs causing a change in income distribution among those participating in the exchange. The magnitude of the change in income distribution is directly proportional to the change in prices of the output and inputs and their quantities. Productivity gains are distributed, for example, to customers as lower product sales prices or to staff as higher income pay.
Davis has deliberated the phenomenon of productivity, measurement of productivity, distribution of productivity gains, and how to measure such gains. He refers to an article suggesting that the measurement of productivity shall be developed so that it will indicate increases or decreases in the productivity of the company and also the distribution of the fruits of production among all parties at interest. According to Davis, the price system is a mechanism through which productivity gains are distributed, and besides the business enterprise, receiving parties may consist of its customers, staff and suppliers of production inputs. In this article, the concept of “distribution of fruits of production” by Davis is simply referred to as production income distribution or shorter still as distribution.
