The Need For Increasing Productivity

The Need For Increasing Productivity

The need to increase productivity varies depending on business type and ownership. It is one of the biggest ongoing issues facing both Business Managers and Owners.

The three major drivers behind wanting / needing to increase productivity are:

1. The need to increase business production and sales without increasing wages and capital costs
2. The need to achieve the same levels of production in less hours to reduce overtime costs and employee fatigue
3. The need to achieve the same levels of production in less hours so that Owners / Management spend less time in day-to-day operations and more time working on business improvement strategies

The top three methods of increasing productivity are:

1. Written Business Processes or improved Written Business Processes, as these will:
   1. Reduce rework
   2. Reduce duplication of effort
   3. Improve plant layouts
2. Employee Training to ensure that the business’s processes are being correctly followed
3. Supply chain improvement
