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.
There are also minerals which form both by inorganic and organic processes. For example, calcite (CaCO 3) is a common vein mineral in rocks, and also a shell-forming material in many life forms. Calcite of organic origin conforms to the above definition except for the requirement that it be inorganic.here are also minerals which form both by inorganic and organic processes.
