Efficient running of an enterprise in the present day liberalized scenario assumes considerable significance and better utilization of existing capacities is an important indicator of the health of an enterprise. In this paper, P S Mohanakumar evaluates the inter-sectoral differences in capacity utilization based on data relating to 21 spinning mills in Kerala. He also identifies the main reasons for underutilization of capacity which are absenteeism, power problems, unscheduled breakdowns, and obsolete machinery.
