Have to think about these things when starting mass production:
- New technology = expensive
- Staff - wages
- Transport - vehicles + fuel
- Stock + Premises - need to spend money on bigger buildings to hold stock
- Organisation - big operation = plan to reduce risk of wasting time + materials, also need to pay for managers
However there are bonuses to mass production:
- can make each product quicker - saves on wages
- bigger machines = more efficient = cheaper to run
- discounts if you buy materials in bulk
