Productivity is the relationship between the outputs generated from a system and the inputs that are used to create those outputs. Mathematically O P = I

Productivity Improvement (PI) is the result of

or work processes.
PI will occur if:

7. Measuring Productivity
 Static: P=O/I in a given period of time (t).
Useful for benchmarking purposes.
 Dynamic: p(1)=O(1)/I(1); p(2)=O(2)/I(2);
then p(2)/p(1) yields a dimensionless index
that reflects change in productivity between
periods. ((p(2)-p(1))/p(1))*100 yields the
percentage change between periods.

8. Measuring Productivity
(Continued)
 Partial-Factor: Uses a single “I” factor;
e.g., output/labor-hour, sales/employee
 Multi-Factor: Uses more than one “I”
factor; e.g. output/direct costs (labor,
materials, and overhead).
 Total-Factor: Uses all “I” factors.
(Note: Total-Factor captures “trade-offs”
between input factors.)

9. Measurement Problems
 Multiple products/services (aggregation-O)
 Varied categories, types, and levels of input
resources (aggregation-I)
 Price/cost changes of outputs & inputs
 Redesigned products, services, processes
 “Hard-to-measure” factors (e.g., quality)

10. Application of Productivity
Measures
 Individual level
 Group level
 Department level
 Corporate level
 National level
 Global level

11. Global-Level Productivity
 Why are global-level productivity measures
important?
 How do we compare productivity among
nations?
 How can a nation increase productivity in a
global economy?

12. Importance of Global-Level
Productivity Measures
 Measure and compare competitiveness
among nations.
 Contribute to the development of a nation’s
economic, social, and political policies.
 Develop global cooperation among nations.
 Help business organizations make
investment decisions.

13. Global-Level Productivity
Measures
 Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) –
http://www.oecd.org/home/
 GDP per capita (labor productivity * fraction
of people who work) is widely regarded as
the best measure.
 A common currency is used to measure the
GDP.

14. Factors Affecting Productivity
Improvement at Global Level
 Education
 Technology
 Macroeconomic policies
 Social and culture environments
 Foreign aids
 Foreign investments
 Industry policies & competition

15. Why is National Productivity
Important?

16. Competing on Productivity
 At the national level, growing productivity
•leads to a higher standard of living
•holds inflation in check
•enhances international competitiveness.
 The annual GDP growth is partially due to
•growth in productivity
•growth in inflation

17. National Productivity Measures
(http://www.bls.gov/)
 Comparisons within a segment of economy
over time
 Comparisons of specific productivity
measures
 International comparisons

19. Other Measures Affecting
Productivity
 Efficiency
 Effectiveness
 Quality
 Quality of Work Life
 Innovation

20. Efficiency
 Measures the resources expected to be
consumed to the resources actually
consumed.
 Hence, it focuses on the input side of the
system. (To what degree did the system
utilize the “right” things.)

21. Effectiveness
 Measures what the system sets out to
accomplish (objective) with what was
actually accomplished; plan vs. actual
 Hence, effectiveness is an output measure.
(Is the output “right” - right quality, right
quantity, on time, etc.)

22. Quality
 Degree to which the outputs (products and
services) from the system conform to
requirements or meet customer
expectations.
 The focus is on quality attributes (e.g.,
conformance, performance, convenience,
responsiveness, perceived quality.)

23. Quality of Work Life (QWL)
 Measures the way that employees in a
system respond to the sociotechnical
aspects of that system.

24. Innovation
 Measures the applied creativity of the
system.
 Relates to the design and development of
improved products, services, and
processes.

25. “Where do you see
yourself in 5 years?”
Anyone who has ever
been in a job interview
has likely heard this
question — or a variation
of it. Yet, most people
struggle to provide an
answer, because they
haven’t given serious
thought to what their
career goals are.
Career goals and
financial goals are often
intertwined. That’s
because the former is
likely to help you achieve
the latter. Financial goals
are all about money
Personal development
goals because are all
about becoming a better
person. And all the
money in the world
cannot help you achieve
that. Personal
development is a lifelong
process we should all
invest in.

The term ‘relationship
goals’ has become
something of a social
media phenomenon. It’s
everywhere you look,
intertwined with
sometimes over the top
and bizarre ideas of what
a couple should aim for
in their relationship.
