THE PRODUCTION FUNCTION

Maximum output Q that a firm can produce for every specified combination of inputs.

Labour (L)
Capital (C)
Q = F (K, L)

In other words production function is the relationship between the quantity of inputs used to make a good and the quantity of output of that good.

The short run refers to a period of time in which one or more factors of production can not be changed factors that can not be varied over this period are called fixed inputs.
Ex - labours

Long runs refers to the period where in all the inputs are variable.
Ex - capital
