Increase The Output Of Production

Scaling is the ability to reliably duplicate or multiply a process as volume increases. The maximum potential value of a business is identified by scaling. Making your product scalable is totally dependent on the amount of human involvement that you plan to put into the process. Let’s take the sample of a weaver who specialises in handwoven carpets. He takes a week to weave one carpet. If he is able to get one customer every week, he is easily able to meet the demand. However, if he gets two customers in a week, it would be a challenge for him and the second customer will have to wait for the first order to be completed. Now, let’s assume the weaver gets an order for one thousand carpets in a week time. This target is unachievable for the weaver and it’s going to be impossible for him to keep up with the demand.

Scalability can be increased through duplication or multiplication. Via automation, brands like Starbucks increase their ability of duplication. Though human involvement is there in the automation process, it is very less because all the work is done by semi-automatic machines and human contribution is limited to operations. Automation also eliminates the chance of imperfection in the final product. Automation also helps boost production.

Force Multiplier

These are the tools that amplify the producer’s effort to increase the output of production. A simple example is the jack, used to lift a vehicle to change the wheel. It is a force multiplier, and hence, has the capability to get more work done in less time and little effort. When a company or an individual makes use of outside capital in their business, they get access to the force multipliers which are otherwise difficult to access.

The ability of a human to create and use tools to make their work easier, makes them unique. At times force multipliers can be expensive, hence they are not commonly used by small businesses, but in factories. They enable factories to enhance production and serve more customers. However, it eventually increases the cost of production, because of the added cost of force multipliers.

An ancient tactic of force multiplication was the use of stakes in the ground so the archers could be protected from mounted men. Still the force multiplies are very important in every business and are needed by all.
