Answer 1

Economies of scale is achieved when there are increase in production and at the same time cost is also reducing i.e producing at larger scales with lower cost.

This can done when we assign limited task to employees so that they can master there task. When workers / employees do limited work they get specialization in that task and then they can perform the amount of work in less time and with greater efficiency thus achieving economies of scale.
