This document summarizes a study that evaluates productivity management in a small-scale footwear industry in India. The study aims to develop a productivity evaluation indicator that accounts for management factors to identify areas for improvement. The study calculates labor productivity for two months but notes this does not indicate which month has higher potential for gains. It proposes using a Productivity Achievement Ratio (PAR) that considers attainable productivity given management improvements. A literature review covers definitions of productivity, improvement methods, and factors influencing productivity reported in other studies. The goal is to select the most appropriate work items for managers to focus on through the productivity management cycle.
