<![CDATA[Education is an important foundation for the progress of the Indonesian nation. As mentioned, implementing a quality education system requires optimal production management and financing. Therefore, this research is aimed at formulating innovative alternative recommendations that can be offered to increase the productivity and quality of education delivery through more effective and efficient use of the budget. This research uses the library research method. Data was obtained through a search for relevant literature which will focus on indexed national scientific journals. Apart from that, textbooks, annual reports of educational institutions, educational statistical data from the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Research and Technology, as well as online sources from credible research institutions will also be used as references. In facing changes in government policy and technological developments, educational institutions need to adapt production management and cost management strategies. The concept of production management is the key to increasing operational efficiency, optimizing the use of resources such as teaching staff, infrastructure and budget. A synthesis of findings shows that the implementation of modern technology, such as e-learning and integrated information systems, supports increased efficiency.
