Introduction

This five-day course teaches practical methods for measuring performance and analyzing productivity. You will learn how to choose useful metrics, collect reliable data, and turn results into concrete improvement actions. The curriculum covers process mapping, time studies, statistical analysis, benchmarking, and reporting. The aim is to reduce waste, improve throughput, and connect productivity changes to business outcomes.

Objectives

1. Select and define KPIs that align to business objectives and can be measured reliably.
2. Design and implement measurement systems, including sampling plans and data-capture templates.
3. Conduct process mapping, time studies, and work sampling to quantify capacity, cycle time, and variability.
4. Analyze productivity data using basic statistics and visualizations to identify root causes and prioritize interventions.
5. Create dashboards and concise reports that translate measurement findings into actionable improvement plans and expected financial impact.

Who Should Attend

1. Operations managers and directors responsible for production or service performance.
2. Continuous improvement, Lean, or Six Sigma leaders running productivity projects.
