The economy of any given country is based on the introduction of an extensive or intensive method of expanding production. The first has established itself as ineffective, reducing key indicators of any sector of human economic activity. The conclusion suggests itself that the second method is more effective and that it should be considered more closely. Intensification is a process in the development of any economic industry (including production), in which its capacity is increased through the use of progressive methods that are constantly growing and modernizing.
The intensive type of economic development provides for the improvement of individual factors of production. The ideal result should be an increase in the scale of production. The realities of modern life are not always supportive of any kind of human activity. Only timely monitoring of economic indicators will allow us to understand how and when to change the already established order in our activities.
Current trends of intensification
If it is necessary to radically change the form of the enterprise’s existence, only intensification will help - this is the possibility of using innovative means of human labor, advanced training of each employee. Particular attention is paid to personnel policy. Careful selection of workers allows to increase the income from production at times.
One of the ways to intensify is to improve the methods of using the existing production potential. In case of untimely interference in the workflow or the wrong, unprofessional approach, a decrease in production turns may be observed.
The basis of production efficiency
The intensification of production often finds expression in an increase in returns, an increase in output from each raw material unit, and an increase in the quality of the goods. An analysis of key indicators makes it possible to understand where gaps need to be filled.
It is enough to give a simple example: setting out to double production output, in the context of the intensification process, they are not building a new enterprise with similar indicators. It is enough to reconstruct the old one, replace the equipment with newer and more functional, and review the personnel reserve. All this together will give the desired result.
The material base of the process
Global intensification is an opportunity not only to find new ways to increase productivity, but also to revise capital investments and other resources used. Changing the process control methods , improving product manufacturing technologies, introducing innovative systems in various industries is nothing more than the material basis of intensification. To understand whether the right path is chosen, consider the final result in unity with the resources used. This will help to detect mistakes and quickly correct them.
Intensification of production: varieties
- Capital-saving intensification is realized through the use of new equipment, high-quality raw materials and additional materials. In this case, the means of production are spent more economically and give a good result.
- Labor-saving intensification is the use of multifunctional technology, which can partially replace human resources. The growth of output is proceeding at an accelerated pace and is ahead of changes in the number of employees of the enterprise. This trend does not have a favorable effect on the living standards of the unprotected layers of the population, the need for labor of which disappears due to uselessness.
- Comprehensive intensification provides for absolute savings in labor and material production conditions. This is dictated by the rapid development of the latest industrial and technological revolution, which will completely update all the components of any production process. Particular attention is paid to such a concept as the intensification of training - this is the process of transmitting more information to personnel without reducing quality and reducing the time frame for preparing for work.
The right approach - excellent result
If consumers are unable to, due to objective or subjective reasons, buy goods, any industry will face decline. Intensification of commercial efforts involves the development of techniques for identifying the category of potential consumers and subsequent work with them. Creative and innovative approach will allow the company to "survive" in any, even the most difficult conditions, when economic disasters destroy competitors.
