Types of Processes. We introduced the product-process matrix and four types of processes in Chapter 2--projects, batch production, mass production, and continuous production. Let us look at them more closely here and explore the implications of process choice for a firm. Projects. Projects represent one-of-a-kind production for an individual customer.
1 Minerals are inorganic as they exist naturally in the soil and water. 2  Minerals are organic as they exist in plants and animals. 3  Only plants can transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals.  Animals must eat plants or plant-eating animals to obtain their organic minerals.
Scientific studies have shown that the chelated organic forms of selenium, chromium, and iron are more available than inorganic forms. With other minerals, such as zinc and copper, studies have indicated there is a similar availability with both the chelated organic and inorganic forms.For some minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, the absorption of the unbound elemental form of the mineral is so excellent, chelation is not necessary.ith other minerals, such as zinc and copper, studies have indicated there is a similar availability with both the chelated organic and inorganic forms.
