Production technology Technology is the process of applying the finding of science and other forms of enquiry to applied situations. Production technology therefore involves applying the work of researchers to develop new products and processes. There are a range of new technologies that are being applied to improving production methods and outputs. For example, in recent years we have seen the development of ice cream varieties of chocolate products in the confectionery industry - an example of food technology. At the same time we have seen the widespread application of Information and Communications Technology to a wide range of production methods, such as: 1.The use of computer databases for online booking in the airline industry. 2.The development of broadband services, benefiting small businesses to communicate using the Internet across the country. 3.The use of company intranet systems to inform, and train, employees in companies like Cummins creating a more skilled and highly efficient workforce.
