This is to highlight and inform you the important event for industrial engineers and productivity managers. 2025 India National Productivity Week - 12 - 18 February Theme - From Ideas to Impact: Protecting Intellectual Property for Competitive Startups.
The theme for Productivity Week 2025 provides a crucial platform to address the interconnected challenges and opportunities related to innovation, intellectual property (IP), and productivity within the Indian startup ecosystem.
For industrial engineers innovation and productivity are important themes to focus on. IEs have to organize events, participate in the event actively and promote industrial engineering as the department, function and discipline to promote productivity through innovation.
I am collecting background material to support industrial engineers in preparing for the events of the week.

What are the processes under your productivity management?
Have? you prepared process charts for them?
Have you made IE measurements for them?
What is the total cost of the process for unit time period?
What is the cost of unit?
What is productivity for each resource?
Do you have time measures for each element?

Process productivity improvement and management is an important task in the operational excellence/process excellence programs/missions being launched by many companies.
Steps in Process Productivity Management
Prepare complete set of process charts and documentation.
Go through them and make notes including ideas for improvement.
Circulate process chart documentation to relevant persons and seek their suggestions.
Convene a meeting or number of meetings to display and explain and discuss process chart documentation to do brainstorming to generate ideas.
Create a team to evaluate all suggestions. Select the valuable ideas.
Develop the ideas and evaluate for technical feasibility.
Develop the ideas further and do economic feasibility. Is there RoI?
Design the solution at various levels - element - operation - process and test them.
Implement the successful solution in the process. Modify the process specification with a process change note.
Check the process after modification and adjust the process as needed.
Measure productivity and cost reduction after each quarter for at least an year as a special task.

A Model
https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/16/4/1606
Identify elements (products, equipment, people, facilities, services, software, etc.), variables (qualitative and quantitative), situations, and scenarios to be analyzed.
Establish with management, based on the information obtained in the audit and historical statistics, defining the scope, objectives, goals, deadlines, resources, technology, and restrictions of the productivity improvement project,.
The technology must be selected considering management requirements in terms of budget, information security, access, and features for efficient communication. This definition must be agreed upon with management.
Based on the statistical information, the organization chart, the information generated by the audit, and the researcher’s criteria in action, the groups must be defined. In our case, the model pre-establishes the quality, maintenance, and supervision groups, but they can establish groups such as human resources, logistics, purchasing, sales, etc. depending on the specific case.
Before deciding who will participate in the groups, it is important to carry out an evaluation of the human resource that helps us determine if it has any incompatibility with the project. After this, a meeting must be held with the operations management to define who will participate in the groups.
The objectives, goals, and deadlines for the implementation of the productivity improvement project must be transmitted to the staff, improving coordination with a communication tool in the processes. Communication norms must be established and taught to participants, establishing schedules, type of information to be transmitted, language to be used, confidentiality rules, etc.
The objectives of the productivity improvement action plan must be reviewed. In these meetings, the statistics of the previous cycle or period will be presented, the progress made regarding the goals. and the individual situations of each group will be analyzed where they will be shared with the participants of other groups to increase their level of group situational awareness.

Process Improvement and Organizational Learning: The Role of Collaboration Technologies
Ned F. Kock
Idea Group Inc (IGI), 01-Jan-1999 - 157 pages
Process improvement can itself be considerably improved by the use of information technology. Distributed and a synchronous group support systems, such as e-mail, computer conferencing and the World Wide Web are likely to play a major role in this improvement. Process Improvement and Organizational Learning: The Role of Collaboration Technologies analyzes the relationship between collaborative technologies, process improvement and organizational learning. It is based on the author's experiences in numerous process-focused organizational development projects where process improvement groups were aided by the support of collaborative technologies.
