What is transformation process? What are the types of transformation process?

  The definition and kinds of transformation process.

Transformation processes are used in all types of business. A transformation process uses resources to convert inputs into some desired output. Transformation process can be categorized as follows:

·                    Physical (as in manufacturing).

·                    Location (as in transportation).

·                    Exchange (as in retailing).

·                    Storage (as in warehousing).

·                    Physiological (as in health care).

·                    Informational (as in telecommunications).

These transformations are not mutually exclusive. For example, a department store can (1) allow shoppers to compare prices and quality (informational), (2) hold items in inventory until needed (storage), and (3) sell goods (exchange).
