Productivity is the amount of output (of an industrial concern in relation to materials, labour, etc) that is produced per unit of time.
About Productivity:
Increasing the productivity can help accomplish a task faster or do more tasks in the same amount of time. To increase productivity humans use automated machines to create more products in less time. In the past, many consumer goods were made by hand, which took a lot of time to make. An example of a consumer good that was created by hands was vehicles, a group of employees would join together and build a vehicle.
Example of a car being made by hand:
Now, most consumers goods are created by a system called mass production. This means each employee repeatedly performs a small task as the product moves on a conveyor belt. The only problem with increasing productivity by mass production is goods manufactured on an assembly line are usually a lower quality than hand made products. An assembly line is an arrangement of machines, tools, and workers in which a product is assembled as it is moved along a direct line or route.
Here's an example of a conveyor belt assembly line that is part of an automated system:
