Productivity and profits

Question
What role does productivity play in profits? 
Answer
Productivity is vital to profits. It represents the throughput rate and efficiency with which your business performs its tasks.

The greater the productivity of your resources (people/equipment/process) the lower the cost of performance and the greater the profit opportunity. To increase productivity, identify any impediments to productivity -- large or small -- and eliminate them.
