This document discusses strategies for improving productivity for production engineers and executives. It defines productivity as the rate of output per input and discusses how quality and productivity are related. The key elements for improving productivity are streamlining activities, eliminating waste, utilizing resources efficiently, continuous improvement, and reducing unnecessary steps. Metrics for measuring company productivity include man-to-machine ratios, output per employee, cost per revenue, skills per employee, defect rates, cycle times, overall equipment effectiveness, uptime-to-downtime ratios, on-time delivery, customer satisfaction, and compliance rates. Flow process charts and string diagrams are presented as standard formats for analyzing processes.
