Productivity Improvement

Strategies

Productivity

Productivity = Output / Input

To Improve productivity

1.Increased output for the same input.2.Decreased input for the same input.3.Proportionate increase in output is more than the proportionate increase in input.

Some more…

4.Proportionate decrease in the input is more than the proportionate decrease in the output.5.Simultaneous increase in output with decrease in output.

1. Output Input

Increasing the output by optimizing the methodology and the plant layout.

Eg: the output of a steel plant can be increased by shortening the flow path without any increse in the input.

2. Input Output

Decreasing the inputs means using a cost effective raw material.

Eg: Using Plywood instead of raw wood is a cost effective strategy for manufacturing furnitures.

3. Output > Input

Producing a new product with the existing facilities increases the output with a marginal increase in the input.

Eg: MRF producing a new model of tire based on the market demand.

4. Input > Output

Dropping an uneconomic product from the production mix

Eg: Discontinuing the production of scooters in Bajaj Auto Ltd.

5. Output Input

Using modern manufacturing techniques, unit load concept, Robotics and AGVS in the shop floor.

Other Methods

Optimum training to the workforce.Waste minimization.Modernization and mechanization. Supply chain optimization.
