Products are inspected for quality at the end of the production process
quality assurance

TQM
Output = 2000 units, maximum capacity = 4000 units
capacity utilisation = 80%
capacity utilisation = 40%
capacity utilisation = 50%
capacity utilisation = 20%
Output = 300 units, capacity utilisation = 75% therefore
maximum capacity = 200 units
maximum capacity = 400 units
maximum capacity = 300 units
maximum capacity = 375 units

Output = 200 units from a firm with 5 workers
labour productivity = 20
labour productivity = 40
labour productivity = 1000
labour productivity = 100
Improve the capacity utilisation % by
reducing output
increasing capacity
reducing capacity
Problem of low capacity utilisation :
workers are busy
machines are fully used
average cost per unit is lower
average cost per unit is higher
