Production Economics
Utility of goods
The needs fulfilling power of a product is called utility. It is a quality possessed by a product or service to satisfy human requirements. Utility is based on the following types. They are
Forms Utility
Place Utility
Time Utility Service Utility
Possession Utility
Wealth
Wealth means money, property, gold etc. But in economics it is used to portray all things that have value. For a product to be called wealth, it must posses utility, scarcity and transferability. In the event of lacking even one quality it cannot be connected as wealth.
Forms of Wealth Individual Wealth Social Wealth National or Real Wealth International Wealth Financial Wealth
Price
Economists sometimes define price in a more general or abstract sense to the widely understood definition above. According to this view, price is defined as the ratio between the quantity of goods that are exchanged for each other in a transaction
Want
In economics, a want is something that is desired. It is said that every person has unlimited wants, but limited resources. Thus, people cannot have everything they want and must look for the most affordable alternatives.
If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to lower equilibrium price and quantity.
If supply increases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to lower equilibrium price and higher quantity. If supply decreases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to higher price and lower quantity.
Elasticity of supply and demand The degree to which a demand or supply curve reacts to a change in price is the curve's elasticity. Elasticity varies among products because some products may be more essential to the consumer. Elasticity = (% change in quantity / % change in price)
factors of production
Division of labour
Division of labour is a process whereby the production process is broken down into a sequence of stages and workers are assigned to particular stages. ADVANTAGES OF SPECIALISATION / DIVISION OF LABOUR
To the business:
Specialist workers become quicker at producing goods - Production becomes cheaper per good because of this - Production levels are increased - Each worker can concentrate on what they are good at and build up their expertise
To the worker: - Higher pay for specialised work - Improved skills at that job.
To the worker:
- Boredom as they do the same job - Their quality and skills may suffer - May eventually be replaced by machinery
OTHER TYPES OF SPECIALISATION
REGIONAL INTERNATIONAL
Location of Industries
'localization of industries' is meant the tendency on the part of
industries to be concentrated in regions which are most suited for their development. Factors: The important factors which influence the localization of industries are discussed as below:
(i) Nearness to raw material. (ii) Availability of source of power (iii) Physical and climate conditions. (iv) Nearness to market.
a) Cost-[Acquired] b) Closeness to a source of raw materials-[Natural] c) Closeness to a source of power-[Acquired and/or Natural] d) Closeness to a market-[Acquired] e) Closeness to an educated working force-[Acquired] f) Closeness to a method of transport-[Acquired] g) Government Intervention-[Government] h) In a suitable climate-[Natural] i) In a stable political atmosphere-[Government] j) Health facilities-[Acquired]
Problems of allocation
Capital Allocation A process of how businesses divide their financial resources and other sources of capital to different processes, people and projects. Overall, it is management's goal to optimize capital allocation so that it generates as much wealth as possible for its shareholders.
Time.
Accuracy.
Transparency Trust.
Selecting investments that will improve the financial performance of the business involves two fundamental tasks:
Economic Profitability
Financial Feasibility
For some businesses the production function is relatively simple--a few processes with little substitution. For some businesses the production function involves thousands of different processes and millions of substitution possibilities. The production function is the economists summary of the input requirements for each level of production. The production function shows the input requirements for each level of production.
Specifying the production function A production function can be expressed in a functional form as the right side of Q = f(X1,X2,X3,...,Xn) where: Q = quantity of output X1,X2,X3,...,Xn = quantities of factor inputs (such as capital, labour, land or raw materials).
(i) Economies of localization. (ii) (ii) Economies of vertical disintegration. (iii) Economies of information (iv) Economies of by products
Small scale production firms has the actual survival value side by side with
large scale production. The facts are that small scale firms have a firm footing along with the large scale firms. The reasons are that small scale firms concerns enjoy certain advantages which are peculiar to their own. They are following: Reasons for Survival of Small Scale Firms: (i) Close supervision. (ii) Economic independence. (iii) Economy in management (iv) Close contact with customers. (v) Greater adaptability to Changes.
