It provides information for the relevant product-type and capacity-type tasks associated with the initial conditions of problem solution. The aim of this paper is to intepret through the case study, the relevance and impact of absolute and relative contribution margin indicator for quantification of the volume of performances to achieve the break-even point and required profit in non-homogeneous production.
