The production cycle may vary from a few days for a web page to several years for a game or movie. The greatest challenge facing production come from time, equipment and staffing. Many clients want their products produced fast and many companies need to work long hours to complete a project on time. In addition, equipment is always changing. Employees always want the newest and best equipment. The newest equipment is always the most expensive. Also, finding and keeping trained employees is always a challenge. Many companies use part-time "contract worker" for production.
