production, productivity and efficiency - Coggle Diagram

- - - - level of output required to be produced
      - nature of product
      - standardised or customised
    - - manufactures proudcue one product at a time as ordered by customer
      - high quality products, motivated and highly skilled workers, customised products produced
      - prodctuiton slow, labour costs high
    - - continuous manufacturing of standardised products
      - low unit costs due to economies of scale, rapid production
      - customisation difficult
    - - groups of the same products are produced as a batch
      - workers specialise, production can take place as the previous bath starts running out
      - requires careful coordination to avoid shortages, money tied up in stock
    - - organising workers into groups that produce a range of diff products more quickly
      - group work allows generation of ideas = improvements
      - heavily reliant on people = costs high, production volumes not as high
  - - - uses physical labour
      - delivery of services + small scale prodcution
      - countries where labour costs low
      - low cost production = labour costs low, allows creatvity, workers flexible
      - workers unreliable, incentives needed to motivate, training costs high
    - - uses machinery/ tech
      - large scale production of standardised products
      - manufacturing in developed countries = labour costs high
      - low cost production where output high, machines consistent, machines don't need breaks
      - set up and maintenance costs, breakdown = delays, no flexibility
- - - - total costs spread across optimum level of output
      - diseconomies of scales minimised
      - economies of scale is maximised
