Business Productivity

Business productivity has become a matter of fashion and less what it’s intended to be. The idea is constantly marketed by consultants as business management break-through.

Well-known more recent attempts are referred to as Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma systems. They are simply just old-fashioned quality control procedures.

But everyone is in production or process improvement or quality control, whatever label he puts on them. A good business manager inherently knows this without the labeling.

The trick is in implementation. Motivation is essential in sticking to such programs on an ongoing basis. Boredom always is the problem, so periodic appraisals are essential. Furthermore, management needs to employ in-house or outside experts to check on processes and results.

Forget the titles. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
