diseconomies of scale
Definition
Increase in long-term average cost of production as the scale of operations increases beyond a certain level. This anomaly may be caused by factors such as (1) over-crowding where men and machines get in each other's way, (2) greater wastage due to lack of coordination, or (3) a mismatch between the optimum outputs of different operations. See also economies of scale.
