Generally, if workers are more specialised, efficiency improves and firms can make more profit. Efficiency is improved because, through specialisation, workers can perform tasks more quickly and more accurately. There are fewer mistakes and productivity (output per worker) will rise. People who try to perform a wide range of tasks may find it difficult to develop the skills needed to be good at each one. Therefore their productivity will be lower. This is why Ronda Cabins employs specialists such as carpenters and an electrician. Also, when workers specialise, greater use can be made of specialist tools, machinery and equipment. For example, specialist carpentry tools can be used for cutting, planing and other tasks. Production time is reduced because workers do not have to waste time moving from one task to another. This means that they will not need to move around the workplace to collect tools, change workstations or reset machinery. Specialists are likely to remain at the same workstation repeating their task without the need to move around. In this case, carpenters can just focus their attention on woodwork and not have to make adjustments if they were required to switch tasks.
