enterprises (SMEs) in South-South Nigeria. Survey method was used for
this study while random sampling technique was adopted. Paired T-test and
Cronbach Alpha via statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version
22 were used to analyse the data. Primary data were collected using the
questionnaire as the primary research instrument. Findings showed that
inventory level, level of employee skills and number of employees were
significantly related with SMEs’ survival at 5% significantly level. In view
of the above findings, this study concluded that effective capacity
management is the fulcrum on which survival of SMEs revolves. The study
