For a smaller country, such as Canada, achieving economies of scale may depend on having access to larger foreign markets, since the Canadian market by itself may be too small to support the most efficient volume of production in many industries. A firm should be able to produce a product more efficiently by making use of modern machinery and equipment, skilled and specialized labour, interchangeable parts, automation and large-scale distribution, and be able as a result to fund on-going research and development. 2, record 4, English, - economy%20of%20scale

At some point, when marginal cost equals average cost, a plant will stop yielding economies of scale; it will then be at a point where diseconomies of scale begin, with each extra unit of output costing more than the average cost and thus being unprofitable. In other words, a plant can produce both too little and too much. 2, record 4, English, - economy%20of%20scale

Les concepteurs ne s’accordent pas pour spécifier une vitesse nominale de vent unique, celle-ci variant entre 10 et 15 m/s; elle est en fait adaptée aux conditions de vent du site de production. Plusieurs manufacturiers européens définissent un coefficient SRC (Specific Rated Capacity, en kW [kilowatts]/m²). […] Ce taux augmente généralement avec la puissance donnant une prime aux grandes turbines. Ce coefficient a un impact notable sur la robustesse mécanique du système (plus un système est poussé en SRC, plus sa conception mécanique doit être robuste). 1, record 5, French, - coefficient%20SRC

The Surrey Small Satellite Transfer Vehicle(S3TV) should be capable of transferring a number of nano-or picosatellites from the launch vehicle injection orbit to a target orbit and providing phased deployment into a constellation. The resulting economy of scale could provide an opportunity for regular and lower cost launches. Simplifying the interfaces with the launch provider and depending less on the launch provider for specific interfaces to numerous small payloads can streamline the launch campaign and reduce scheduling and technical risks. 4, record 6, English, - satellite%20transfer%20vehicle
