How productivity is improved   



Achieving more output for the same input Achieving the same output from less input Achieving much more output for slightly more input Getting slightly less output for much less input

There are six lines of attack to improve the productivity ratio of an organization  Improve basic process by research and development 

  



(long term) Improve and provide new plant, equipment, and machinery (long term) Simplify product and reduce variety (medium term) Improve existing methods and procedures (short term) Improve the planning of work and the use of manpower (short term) Increase the overall effectiveness of employees (short term)

Force Field Analysis Force field analysis is a management technique developed by Kurt Lewin, a pioneer in the field of social sciences, for diagnosing situations. It will be useful when looking at the variables involved in planning and implementing a change program and will be of use in team building projects,

when attempting to overcome resistance to change.

Goal Congruence The extent that individuals and groups perceive their own goals as being satisfied by the accomplishment of organizational goals is the degree of integration of goals. When organizational goals are shared by all, the term goal congruence can be used.

Productivity is a measure of how well resources are combined and utilized to accomplish specific, desirable results. Different perspectives about significance of productivity growth. Human resources,technology,capital investment and government regulation are the factors which affect the national productivity. Product or system design,machinery,equipment,skill and effectiveness of the worker and production volume are the factors which affect the productivity in manufacturing and services. Management,worker and customer get benefit by improvement in productivity. Force field analysis is useful when looking at the variables involved in planning and implementing a change program. Goal congruence can be used when organizational goals are

shared by all.
