Explainthe relationship between the average cost and marginal cost curve? Answer: We usually assume that the Average Cost curve is U shaped The MC curve will intercept the AC curves at its minimum point. When AC is decreasing‚ MC lies below AC - because when MC is below AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will pull down average cots When AC is increasing‚ MC lies above AC - because when MC is above AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will raise average costs Therefore MC will intercept the

Economics‚ Case No. 8 THE PRODUCTION FUNCTION AT TOYOTA Throughout most of the 20th century‚ business in the United States‚ especially in manufacturing‚ was dominated by the paradigms of mass production and scientific management. The focus was primarily on finding ways to produce at lower unit costs without much overt concern about quality and consumer satisfaction. Now‚ a new view of the productive enterprise has emerged. The new view focuses more on quality and customer satisfaction as the driving

Working from the perspective of the customer who consumes a product or service‚ "value" is defined as any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for. Essentially

Production-possibility frontier In economics‚ a production-possibility frontier (PPF) or “transformation curve” is a graph that shows the different quantities of two goods that an economy (or agent) could efficiently produce with limited productive resources. Points along the curve describe the trade-off between the two goods‚ that is‚ the opportunity cost. Opportunity cost here measures how much an additional unit of one good costs in units forgone of the other good. The curve illustrates that

Lean production is widely understood to be production based upon a range of waste saving measures inspired by Japanese manufacturing companies‚ particularly the Kaizen and Just in time techniques. Metov’s plastics have taken the decision upon themselves to incorporate some of the characteristics of lean production namely time management and critical path analysis into their manufacturing process and I will examine these. One method used by Metov’s is critical path analysis (CPA). CPA is the process
