Production Volume and Productivity Level

 29/05/2019
By Dr. Alin Posteucă

Some managers and practitioners are wrong when they want to improve their productivity to increase production. The level of productivity does not depend on the volume of production. Production and productivity are completely different subjects. Productivity does not improve only by increasing production and vice versa.

Productivity means how much of the resources are needed for a certain number of predefined results. However, profitability through productivity remains the great challenge of managers’ teams. Some pertinent questions arise, such as:

  1. Is it possible to increase productivity and profitability even with the reduction of production/sales volumes?
  2. Is the high level or low level of productivity absolutely dependent on management activity?

I have presented the answers to these questions and not only in my latest book on Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment (MCPD) Profitability Scenarios. I have presented how to consistently achieve the annual and multiannual target profit through Manufacturing Cost Improvement (MCI) based on the reduction of CLW and CCLW (to Ideal Costs through the 7 steps of MCPD), regardless of the evolution of sales volumes, increasing or decreasing.

So, I invite you to see details 👉 here or 👉 here.

Strategic productivity and profitability consultant and researcher, Alin Posteucă, Ph.D., Ph.D. is transforming the way companies approach their strategic transformation. With over 20 years of management consulting experience, Posteucă has created effective concepts such as Strategic Kaizen, Takt Profit, KAIZENshiro Budgets and Costing. His research on production flow has led to innovative breakthroughs in strategic and operational productivity improvement.

Posteucă's investigation into typologies of losses and waste has identified feasible improvements that can achieve the ideal state of production flow, known as Synchronous Profitable Operations (SPO). His Takt Profit model allows the optimization of production planning, transforming profit per minute into objectives for strategic improvements achieved through Strategic Kaizen projects.

Posteucă's research has led to increased effectiveness in strategic improvements and has set the stage for future productivity in the world of manufacturing technology. He is laureate of the Romanian Academy of the "Traian Vuia" Prize, the highest scientific prize in Romania.
