Based on the results, the inputs - Energy, Labor units and Inventory cost
productivity in 2017 decreased to 2.18, 17 and 52.31 respectively same in the period
ratio, there is downward ratio for the energy, labor units and inventory cost in the year
2017 by 26.23%, 0.62% and 3.43% respectively. It shows that Benz strategy in
increasing the inputs- Energy, labor units and inventory cost were not effective
because the results shows a decrease in single-factor productivity at the same time in
the multifactor productivity. Another factor affects the decrease in productivity is that
Benz hired additional workers from the community. Benz should also consider the
ability, skills and education of the workers because it is very important in having an
On the other hand, chemicals’ productivity is fluctuating, in the year 2016 there
is an increase in productivity of 41.40 and an upward period ratio of 3.50%. The reason
of this increase is because of the little increase on the input (chemical) that gives
productivity and a downward ratio of 3.38%. it only shows that the higher increase in
However, the input (hauler) maintain the number of units for three years and
the productivity increases by 85 and an upward period ratio of 4.62% in the year 2017.
Therefore, productivity measures do not vary on the output but also in the input.
Based on the productivity results, as the input increases the productivity and period
ratio decreases and as the input remains constant productivity increases. Thus, Benz
should know that high in production or output may imply only that more people are
working or there is a high contribution of inputs, but it does not imply high productivity.
inputs while output remains constant or an increase in output while inputs remain
constant.
