Topic 14: Productivity Experiment

In this experiment, we are testing the efficiency of the production as the number of workers increase. I am a worker in this experiment. The production went well when it got closer to the end. Problems came up when too many workers are doing the same job, when there are not enough capitols, and when people are not specializing.The production didn't go the way I expected, because the production is really random. The number of the production goes up and down, no matter how many worker increased. I think this happen is because the limited capitols and each worker's efficiency. Sometime people slack off a bit, and sometime it is the lack of capitols that cause the production goes bad. This result is pretty surprising because I didn't expect it goes up and down. I thought the graph would be like what the textbook described. The production goes up as the worker increase and when it reach a certain point. It falls back down. I think the company could do for the short-run is company should tie the company's wealth to the worker in order to encourage the workers to work harder, or the boss can make the entire production line more organized. For the long-run, company should increase the capitols, so more people can do other jobs, instead of everyone crazily doing one job.
