We often heard about the process and system. As a layman, both the terms are taken as equal but these are different in nature.
A process is an acitivity or a set of acvtities which takes the input and transform them into an output with the help of the resources i.e man, machine, materials, methods etc.

A system is the combination of the process which gives the desired result.
For example - How to make a cup of tea is a complete system and how the kettle will put on the stove, or how to serve the tea is the process.
The complete processes makes the system of the preparation of tea.

There can be the output of one process may be the input of simulatneous process. A chain of processess make the system.
