Topic 14: Productivity Experiment



In this experiment, I am the manager, which is the biggest role in the company. I have to hire a new worker every day to see how the production can increase or not. Besides hiring, I have to communicate with the workers about what is their job enable o let the whole body efficient. The experiment is basically to see how the production will be if there’s more workers even if some of them is getting unnecessary. In the beginning, when there was only one worker, we didn’t produce anything, but later when we got more than two workers, everyone has their own job; they can show their own skills to make the production faster. Later, the production started to have some problems such as stapler is stuck or some of the people are getting inefficient, which we might can called the law of diminishing returns. I think some of the reasons are because the scissors and the staplers are not enough, which we can call the capital. Also because as the labors increase, some of the workers are doing the same job with the additional workers are no longer efficient or maybe even started to distract or maybe delay the production. At first, I was thinking maybe throughout the increasing labors, we might can have more and more product be made, but I didn’t thought of our capital is limited, which in the end some of the labors can’t reach their maximum efficiency and even decrease the production of our product, widgets.
