Re: What is the difference 'inputs' and 'resources' in the context of a process?
Even in the same process, it's getting difficult for me to differentiate the two. I take the example of limestone crushing process. Limestone is a natural resource and once it's fed to crusher as input (uncrushed LS), the output is still a natural resource (crushed LS) but unlike water in a power boiler, here limestone is definitely an input.
As Freaser said is one of the posts, it's the definition of process (9001) that causes confusion.
Why I'm interested to know is because (i) most Turtles have these things separately defined and (ii) when one needs to improve the process efficiency (in terms of use of resources), one must have a clear picture of an input and a resource.
Thanks.
Yes, the LS in this case is an input. But is the whole purpose about crushing the LS ?
If so, then input meets the definition, and the definition causes no confusion. Can you help me more to understand your confusion ...
