- Development and Production Plan Maintaining your output level in order to meet your customers' demands is a necessary skill. As a result, the following questions must be addressed:• What quantity and how frequently should my goods be produced? (This would depend on sales turnover)• What raw material is used in production?• Is the raw material available?• Do I need anyone to assist in the production (you may want to be a bit more specific here)?• If special skills are needed, how can they be acquired and retained?• What are the total production costs?In order to estimate the cost of production you would need to do the following:• Identify all the inputs needed to produce and sell.• Calculate the cost of the production of a specific quantity that you can manage.• Identify production inputs under the following headings:Fixed cost: Costs that will be incurred regardless of the level of production.Variable Costs: Costs that are directly related to the level of production.
