Productivity Improvement: What it actually means?
Productivity improvement focuses on increasing output per unit of input — people, time, equipment — across the organisation. A consulting engagement might look at work design, skill levels, performance management, technology, layout and maintenance to remove causes of low productivity. It often combines quick wins (better scheduling, clearer targets) with medium-term enablers (automation, training, incentives). Improved productivity supports profitability, competitiveness and sometimes wage growth without price increases. It’s a frequent objective in manufacturing, shared services and field operations.
