Analysing operational performance common mistakes

Common mistakes

• Operations data calculations common mistake 1

  Writing a final answer without showing the method that justifies it. This can weaken answers for: Calculate and interpret labour productivity, unit costs, capacity and capacity utilisation..

  Fix itShow the method first, then give the final answer in the required form. Apply this directly to Operations data calculations.

• Operations data calculations common mistake 2

  Using the topic word correctly but not linking it to the numbers, diagram, graph, or expression in the question. This can weaken answers for: Calculate and interpret labour productivity, unit costs, capacity and capacity utilisation..

  Fix itName the relevant value or feature from the question and explain how it is used. Apply this directly to Operations data calculations.

• Operations data calculations common mistake 3

  Mixing up two nearby concepts because they appear in the same subtopic. This can weaken answers for: Calculate and interpret labour productivity, unit costs, capacity and capacity utilisation..

  Fix itState the exact concept being used before doing the calculation or explanation. Apply this directly to Operations data calculations.
