Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a new concept of super-most productive scale size (super-mpss) which can save more natural resources in the production than the traditional most productive scale size (mpss) and present a procedure for determining it. Then the relationship between most productive scale size and super-most productive scale size is revealed. At last an example illustrates the feasibility of our method.
