Productivity is defined in term of utilization of resources, like material and labor. In simple term productivity is the ratio of output to input. Therefore, productivity can be improved by a) controlling input parameters, b) improved process, c) advanced technology. To increase the production quantity and reduce manufacturing cost in DVD manufacturing, the cycle time of DVD production was reduced by controlling some input parameters and its effects which have been discussed in this paper. This has considerably improved the productivity of DVD production.
