A production method or the enterprise of a technical plant is called uneconomically, if proceeds exceed the operating cost not sufficiently.

With a power supply unit economy depends among other things on the design, the enterprise in full or partial load and the fuel costs.

With a production enterprise it depends beyond that on numerous further factors, which are determined majority by the market - see marketing and management. Also a growth beyond the optimal structure size can affect itself negatively.

In the mining industry the border is mainly given stores to the inefficiency, which sink automatically with increasing dismantling by the worthy of exploitationness (see supply categories of stores). If therefore (approximately by rising wages) the production costs approximate still more rapidly the market prices or are appropriate substantially over those for the competition, the mine (and/or the "“pit"”, the open mining) must be shut down on a long-term basis. If economy were later again given, however some building or mine is by mountain and/or Grubenwasser "“abgesoffen"”.

Sometimes also uneconomic enterprises are resumed, about if reasons of national supply security speak for it (e.g. for certain autarcy during the power supply. With outdated aggregates is the reason continued using in the avoidance of larger investments however often to be searched.

Many uneconomic activities result from double-railednesses, which decrease/go back usually to bad communication. For reasons of the competition it can lead likewise to double work - approximately for avoidance of royalties or with some research projects.

The phenomenon of the inefficiency gives it also in biology, e.g. with digesting by insufficient chewing, or when repelling a badly growing branch by the parting collar.
