logique d’échelle

Non-PRO French to English Other Media / Multimedia DVD market Q&A session
DVD market Q&A session.

Sur le marché spécifique de l’optique DVD, nous cherchons à réduire le coût à l’unité. Nous devons prendre en compte une logique d’échelle afin de réduire nos coûts de production. Ceux-ci ne sont pas uniquement liés à la main d’œuvre, mais aussi à nos frais généraux, même si notre usine au Royaume-Uni est très automatisée.

TIA: Jason

principles of economies of scale

we must use the principles of economies of scale to reduce production costs.
Presumably, they mean the production costs per unit.
Certain production costs (e.g. overheads) are fixed, others (e.g. raw materials) are variable. The idea of economies of scale is that the more you can produce without changing the fixed costs, the cheaper total production costs per unit become.
