Productivity measurement

Productivity can be measured by two types which are following below :


  • By aggregate basis 
  • On an individual basis
which is called total and partial measure. 

Total productivity Index / Measure = Total output / Total input 

It can also be measured by Total production of goods and services / Labour + material + capital + Energy + management 

Labour productivity Index / Measure = Output in unit / Man hours worked 

Machine productivity Index / Measure = Total output / Machine hours worked 

Management productivity Index / Measure = Output / Total cost of management 

Land productivity Index / Measure = Total output / Area of land used 

Partial measure can be measure by :

  • Output / Labour  
  • Output / Capital 
  • Output / Materials 
  • Output / Energy
