Capital Intensive Operations
- Capital-intensive production predominately uses machinery and technology in the production of goods and services
- Large-scale production of standardised products is likely to be capital-intensive
- Manufacturing in developed countries where labour costs are relatively high is likely to be capital-intensive
- E.g. Vehicle manufacturers such as Ford use robots and other production technology to manufacture cars, with supervisors overseeing the quality of output
