Productivity Science - Definition

“Productivity science is scientific effort, that in any specific work situation, identifies the appropriate philosophy, culture, systems, processes, technology, methods and human physical action and behavior and elements of each of them of that will maximize positive (social, environmental and economic) outcomes relative to the resources consumed.” - Narayana Rao (IISE 2020 Annual Conference Proceedings)

AI’s Upside Potential for 2019

GCI 2019 introduces what we call AI’s Upside Potential – the potential growth that AI can realize for GDP when it’s deployed industry-wide.
We expect that nations crossing the GCI tipping point score of 65 will see more than 1% added to their GDP growth in 2019.

Making Science: Between Nature and Society

Stephen Cole
Harvard University Press, 1992 - Science - 290 pages


The sociology of science is dominated today by relativists who boldly argue that the content of science is not influenced by evidence from the empirical world but is instead socially constructed in the laboratory. Making Science is the first serious critique by a sociologist of the social constructivist position.

Stephen Cole begins by making a distinction between two kinds of knowledge: the core, which consists of those contributions that have passed the test of evaluation and are universally accepted as true and important, and the research frontier, which is composed of all work in progress that is still under evaluation. Of the thousands of scientific contributions made each year, only a handful end up in the core. What distinguishes those that are successful?

Agreeing with the constructivists, Cole argues that there exists no set of rules that enables scientists to certify the validity of frontier knowledge. This knowledge is "underdetermined" by the evidence, and therefore social factors--such as professional characteristics and intellectual authority--can and do play a crucial role in its evaluation. But Cole parts company with the constructivists when he asserts that it is impossible to understand which frontier knowledge wins a place in the core without first considering the cognitive characteristics of the contributions. He concludes that although the focus of scientific research, the rate of advance, and indeed the everyday making of science are influenced by social variables and processes, the content of the core of science is constrained by nature. In Making Science, Cole shows how social variables and cognitive variables interact in the evaluation of frontier knowledge.

Factors Affecting Time of Thermal Process

Preservation of a chosen food depends on the rate of heat penetrating into a food.

Since every part of the food in a container or can must receive the same adequate heat treatment to prevent its spoilage, the process time work depended on the part which receives heat most slowly.

Productivity in a Connected World
As part of their planning and preparation for the next world Productivity congress (Hong Kong/China, November 2001) the World Confederation of Productivity Science recently held a 'think tank' session in Boston, USA.

Poductivity professionals must:

recognise and accept new forms of working, exploiting connectivity
understand the productivity implications of these new forms of working
develop new metrics to measure and analyse such productivity,
