Hi there,
Could someone please tell me which sentence sounds right?

1. Manufacturing output has increased since we introduced the new technology.

Answer

Both 1 and 2 are grammatically correct, but they mean slightly different things.  "Has increased" emphasizes the current result, where the output is now.   "Has been increasing" focuses more on the process of change.   If you want to talk about that change over time ("since then"), then use #2.

Answer

the 2nd sentence (present perfect continues ) indicates that the increasing still goes on

Answer

Number 2 sounds correct for what you want to say. To make it even more clear you could say "Manufacturing output increased when we introduced the new technology, and it continues increasing even today."

Answer

2.

Answer

Second is better cause output is still increasing so action go on it  must finish action if first sentences
