Does production decreases the average cost?


economies of scale is the cost advantages that company attains because of size of the production, with the decreasing in cost per unit and increasing production.
Economies of scale is applicable to a various  companies at various levels, such as  manufacturing unit, When average costs goes on  falling as output increases, then it is called  economies of scale . Some economies of scale, such happens in heavy manufacturing industry where the have huge fixed cost so when the output increases the fixed cost gets divided over the production.
Another way of economies of scale is possible when the company can purchase the inputs at lower costs  so that there fixed and input cost gets minimum
Example-  a perfect example for economies of scale is iron and steel industry, buying its inputs at lowest prices and have heavy fixed cost so they produce in high quantity so there average cost decreases.
