ABSTRACT
In the history happened two industrial revolutions: one with the discovery of the iron and of the coal and another starting from the domain of the steel and of the electricity. They demonstrate the natural tendency of the evolution of the production processes, result of technological progresses and of the discovery of new materials. The causes of the transition among the handmade for the industrial process are clear: capitalism and demographic explosion. Both brought the growing need of the increase of the physical production (dwellings, utensils, tools, highways, among others). In the modern world, those influences no longer more they can just be in the sphere of the physical production.
So, the objective of this paper is to study the influence of the productions factors, directly involved in the process of production of a product. It is added that, the study of the other factors, as the one of market, ecological, financial, etc.. In a cause and effect relationship, an alteration promoted in anyone of the influential factors of the process, promotes alterations in all the others.
Key words: productions processes, industrialization, cause-effect relationships.
