Abstract: Reprinted from Factory, The Magazine of Management , Volume 10, Number 2, February 1913, pp. 135–136, 152.Interest on capital tied up in wages, material and overhead sets a maximum limit to the quantity of parts which can be profitably manufactured at one time; “set-up” costs on the job fix the minimum. Experience has shown one manager a way to determine the economical size of lots.
