Introduction to Production:
• Definition: Production is any process or procedure
developed to transform a set of inputs like men,
materials, capital, information & energy into a
specified set of outputs like finished products &
services in proper quantity & quality, thus achieving
the objectives of an enterprise. The essence of
production is the creation of goods & services, may
be by the transformation of raw materials or by
assembling so many parts. Production in everyday
life can be seen in factories, offices & hospital etc.
Productivity
Productivity can be defined as an economic measure of
output per unit of input. Inputs generally include labor
and capital, while output is typically measured in
revenues.
Productivity is the measure of how well the resources are brought
together in an organization & utilized for accomplishing a set of
objectives.
Productivity is the multitier effect of efficiency & effectiveness.
Productivity can be expressed as: Productivity = (Output/Input)
•Productivity can be increased:
•Increasing the production (output) without
increasing the inputs
•Keeping the production same but decreasing the
inputs
•Reducing the wastage and rejection rate
•Increasing the rate of output compared to the
rate of input
•Establishing reasonable goals for improvements
•Applying automation and using modern
technology
Efficiency & Effectiveness
• Efficiency is a measurable concept, quantitatively
determined by the ratio of output to input.
• "Effectiveness", is a relatively vague, non-
quantitative concept, mainly concerned with
achieving objectives.
• Effectiveness also implies to wisely using the
resources. In contrast to efficiency, effectiveness is
determined without reference to costs. Efficiency
means "doing the things right", while effectiveness
means "doing the right things".

Productivity measures:
Partial Productivity measures (PPM),
Partial Productivity = (Total Output/Individual
Input)
Labour Productivity = (Total Output/Lobour Input)
Capital Productivity = (Total Output/Capital Input)
Material Productivity = (Total Output/Material Input)
Energy Productivity = (Total Output/Energy Input)
• Total-factor or Multi-Factor productivity:
It is the ratio of net output to the sum of associated labor and capital
inputs.
