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.
