In order to guarantee that the production function is adequate or that it responds to the demands of the society one requires to determine clear and precise objectives, select the inputs and the strategies that will make possible the concretion of the productive process that will give as a final result or exit a qualified product with certain skills, abilities and knowledge; that is to say, with competences which qualify it to be inserted in the productive sector with effectiveness and efficiency.
