The transformation properties of entropy production under phase-space partitioning, lumping, or the elimination of intermediate steps and variables in the presence of widely separated time scales are studied. Conditions are derived under which dissipation remains invariant. In systems subjected to external periodic driving the adiabatic, asymptotic, and transient entropy productions are evaluated and the extent to which they can be separately non-negative is determined.
