The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS)

Marginal refers to the increase in the number of items with one unit of labor added.

The definition per unit varies from one company to another but once an employee is considered to be labor as a commodity unit, then the output from the number of people to be hired by the firm is calculated, in terms of, maximum production and revenue.

Different businesses compute marginal benefit in commodities production that is the benefit given to the consumer from the consumption of one added unit of goods or services. 

MRTS is a negative slope of the isoquant that measures the rate at which the firm can decrease one factor to enhance production.

It includes the term producer equilibrium where one wants to get the highest through minimum outlay.

The manufacturing ring managers need to develop strategies and take decisions to reduce the cost factors involved in a specific cycle of production to get the best outcome.
