67.4 MANUFACTURING VOLUMES


When we are planning operations we must consider the economy of scale.

If we are producing large volumes, we may want to produce tooling (expensive), but amortize the costs over thousands of parts (less expensive). Examples of this include,

- injection molds for thermoplastics
- molds for wax, to make investment casting molds
- progressive dies
- etc.
