Production is a key method in which you gain money from your residents. Production requires two key steps: collection of raw material and generation of the desired product.
Your residents will work at either a field or a mine (depending on where they live and the proximity of said facilities to their home) and will generate raw materials (either food from fields or various types of resources from a mine, depending on where it is located). When you have stockpiled a sufficient amount of resource within the work facility, they will take the raw material to either a Processing Plant (for further refining into processed materials, which can be used as raw materials in a Factory) or a Factory (for generating the desired product).
Production can be a rather complicated affair, as you require differing amounts of raw material and processed materials in order to create the desired product at the factory. Levi Flaman provided a good tip for maintaining efficient production in your factories, by developing your resource steps in a pyramid scheme (e.g. if you are developing Atomic Supercomputers in a factory (which requires Ethanol and Circuits); have 2 Processing Plants developing Ethanol, 2 Processing Plants developing Circuits, 4 fields generating Food for the Processing Plant producing Ethanol and 4 Mines generating Rare Metal for the Processing Plant producing Circuits.)
