Abstract
Productivity improvement is central to the growth and survival of an organisation. The results of a study carried out to measure productivity in a wire rope manufacturing company are described. Several models of productivity are developed and tested to draw out weak operational spots for the company. An illustration of how the results can be used to derive predictive models of company productivity and total unit cost is provided. Cause and effect diagrams are presented to establish the logical premises for taking action towards improvement of productivity in the operational areas.
