Modelling Production Performance of Small Scale Production PlantIJAEMSJORNAL
This document presents a study that developed a model to evaluate capacity utilization (CU) of small-scale production plants. The model considers key inputs like plant operators, capital, research and development spending, energy usage, and machinery maintenance expenditures. The dependent variable is CU of the plant. The model is tested on a small-scale water production plant. Results show the plant's average CU was 74% over six months. All inputs were positively correlated to CU, with major inputs significantly contributing to it. The model explained about 80% of CU with inputs. The model's estimated outputs were within 2% of actual recorded outputs. The model was found to be statistically significant and useful for small-scale plants to evaluate production performance.

1. The authors analyze the limits of pursuing a strict cost-minimization strategy via experience and learning curves. While such strategies can significantly reduce costs, they can also reduce flexibility, innovation, and the ability to change strategies.
2. The article uses Ford Motor Company's experience with the Model T as a case study. Ford was highly successful at reducing Model T costs, but in the process specialized its workforce and processes such that transitioning to a new model (the Model A) was very difficult and costly.
3. More broadly, the authors conclude that intensely pursuing cost reductions can undermine an organization's innovative capabilities and flexibility to respond to competitors, limiting the benefits of experience and learning curves. Management must consider these

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
