Production not using all required resources?

I had 30k of each component, but only 700k electricity... the production proceeded (1 passenger jet body) but it reduced the amounts of each component from 30k to 25k a peice... Should it not have proceeded at all with less electricity than was needed, let alone dropped the rest of the amounts required by 5k? I thought you had to have the exact amount of each (or more) for it to produce something?

You cannot have an economy of scale on 1. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Probably shouldn't be less than a dozen or so. Just ask Boeing, where they get orders for 50-200 of something non-military.
