Productivity Challenge
                  Productivity is the ratio of outputs (goods
                     and services) divided by the inputs
                    (resources such as labor and capital)

                    The objective is to improve productivity!


                                        Important Note!
                               Production is a measure of output
                              only and not a measure of efficiency
