1.0. Introduction
getting more output from the same level of input resources. A key task of management is to keep
an eye on productivity and continuously improve it. Productivity in the workplace is not just a
topic that affects business owners, however. It also affects the workforce on a personal level.
Research tells us that productive people feel less stressed, achieve faster and better results, are
more successful in their job and have a more optimized work-life balance. These people are
happy, and happy people are likely to stay in their jobs rather than seek new opportunities
elsewhere. Strategic HRM utilizes the talent and making linkage of productivity with the
business strategy within the human resources department to make their productivity more
efficient stronger and more effective. So main focus is to find out the Factors that effects the
productivity and improving the productivity strategy in Transcom Beverage Ltd. Here this report
contains Factors that are affecting the productivity and improving productivity’s strategies of
Transcom Beverage Ltd Bangladesh.
1.2. Objectives of the study
Examine Human resource Strategy
Examine Recruitment and Recruitment Policies
Examine the production strategy
Find out the Factors that are affecting the productivity and improving productivity
1.3. Methodologies
The result of the study data and information have been collected from the both the sources
Primary and secondary sources in order to make the report more meaningful and presentable.
The study requires a systematic procedure from selection of the topic to preparation of the final
report. To perform the study, the data sources are to be identified and collected, to be classified,
analyzed, interpreted and presented in a systematic manner. The overall process of methodology
has been given as below-
CHAPTER 2
2.1. Article 1:
The core principle of nestle is helping consumer to have a balanced healthier diet. Nestle uses
both planning scenario and strategic business models. An example of across the industry cost
leader strategy of nestle is its ability to make its entire product available and affordable to
consumers regardless of countries. Income disparities exist among countries, so nestle produce
and repackage products in line with consumers’ capacities.
2.2. Article 2:
Objective: Pursuing both a low cost and a differentiated business level strategy
Methodology: Internet based information
Findings: combination of cost leader and differentiation strategy
Limitation: The struggle with their global competitors
Toyota Business level strategy
Toyota Motor Corporation primarily conducts business in the automotive industry. Toyota also
conducts business in the finance and other industries. Its business segments are automotive
operations, financial services operations and all other operations. Its automotive operations
include the design, manufacture, assembly and sale of passenger cars, recreational and sport
utility vehicles, minivans and trucks and related parts and accessories. Toyota pursues a
combined cost leadership and differentiation strategy that is economies of scopes are relevant. A
dual focus on both cost leadership and differentiation is often required across the various
segments of the value chain. Toyota’s production system is reportedly the most efficient in the
world. This efficiency gives Toyota a low-cost strategy in the global car industry. At the same
time Toyota has differentiated its cars from those of rivals on the basis of superior design and
quality. This superiority allows the company to charge a premium price for many of its popular
models. Thus, Toyota seems to be simultaneously pursuing both a low cost and a differentiated
business level strategy, which is called stuck in the middle.
2.3. Article 3:
drinks Tropicana juices, Quaker oats, Pepsi Co merged with the Quaker Oats Company, creating
the world’s fifth-largest food and beverage company, with 15 brands – each generating more
than $1 billion in annual retail sales. Transcom beverage ’s success is the result of superior
products, high standards of performance, distinctive competitive strategies and the high level of
integrity of people. Pepsi Co follows the differentiation strategy. Their ability to innovate is their
competitive advantage. They look for opportunities to capitalize on the value of their brands by
creating new products and varieties. By innovating to meet consumer needs and preferences,
they fill consumption gaps and contribute to create both healthier and indulgent choices for
consumers, and bringing more enjoyment to their lives.
2.4. Article 4:
2.5. Article 5:
travel, consumer products, and just about anything that might touch the everyday lives of India's
millions. "What’s new in today’s market, and what human resource departments need to be
aware of, is how visible the job is, within and outside the organization,” Pradhan noted. Some 66
per cent of Tata Sons equity is held by philanthropic trusts endowed by members of the Tata
family, “putting teeth to claims” of a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility
(CSR).
CHAPTER 3
3.1. Definition
3.1.1. productivity:
A measure of the efficiency of a person, machine, factory, system, etc., in converting inputs into
useful outputs.
Productivity is computed by dividing average output per period by the total costs incurred or
resources (capital, energy, material, personnel) consumed in that period. Productivity is a critical
determinant of cost efficiency.
Most simply, increased productivity means that your workers are putting out products more
quickly or completing services at a more rapid rate than before. In most businesses, the more
products that workers produce or services they complete, the more money comes in to the
business, making increased productivity a high priority for many business owners. By translating
the potentially amorphous concept of productivity into numerical terms, business owners can
more effectively designate specific goals relating to productivity and determine whether the
employees are meeting these goals.
3.2. Types of factors that can affect the productivity and improving productivity:
Because all organizations are different, all HR strategies are different. According to Armstrong
and Long (1994) and Armstrong and Baron (2002) revealed many variations. Some strategies are
simply very general declarations of intent; others go into much more detail. But two basic types
of HR strategies can be identified: 1) overarching strategies and 2) specific strategies relating to
the different aspects of human resource management.
11
Technical factors: Productivity largely depends on technology. Technical factors are the most
important ones. These include proper location, layout and size of the plant and machinery,
correct design of machines and equipment, research and development, automation and
computerization, etc. If the organization uses the latest technology, then its productiveness will
be high.
Personnel factors: Productivity of organization is directly related to personnel factors. The right
individual should be selected for suitable posts. After selection, they should be given proper
training and development. They should be given better working conditions and work-
environment. They should be properly motivated; financially, non-financially and with positive
incentives. Incentive wage policies should be introduced. Job security should also be given.
Opinion or suggestions of workers should be given importance. There should be proper transfer,
promotion and other personnel policies. All this will increase the productiveness of the
organization.
Finance factors: Productivity relies on the finance factors. Finance is the life-blood of modem
business. There should be a better control over both fixed capital and working capital. There
should be proper Financial Planning. Capital expenditure should be properly controlled. Both
over and underutilization of capital should be avoided. The management should see that they get
proper returns on the capital which is invested in the business. If the finance is managed properly
the productiveness of the organization will increase.
Location factors: Productivity also depends on location factors such as Law and order situation,
infrastructure facilities, nearness to market, nearness to sources of raw-materials, skilled
workforce, etc
3.3 Significance
3.3.1 productivity:
Any effective and successful business understands the importance of productivity in the
workplace. Being productive can help the firm increase and utilize the capacity of the human
resources it has. Most productive companies have happy and healthy employees, which are the
basis of a successful organization. In the video and outline below, I’ve listed the reasons why
productivity is important to the employees, employer and the customers. In the video I also share
three ideas that I present in my productivity Keynote presentations and workshops that will
increase motivation, also known as “proactive behavior.”
Customer Benefit
Productivity in the workplace will often translate into good customer service and interaction.
This total client experience is the key to satisfying customers and clients, and almost all highly
productive companies use this to gain customer loyalty. When a customer is loyal to your
13
business, they will share their experience with others, which is a marketing advantage coming
out of high levels of productivity.
The Company
The employees themselves are an investment, and like any investment, they should yield a
healthy or worthwhile return to the company. Therefore, when employees are highly productive
the company achieves its goals of investing in them in the first place. Productivity also helps to
motivate the workplace culture and boost morale, producing an even better company
environment.
More often than not, when a firm is highly productive, it eventually becomes successful, and
because of this, incentives are bound to be made available to the employees. These include pay
raises, bonuses, medical insurance and so on. This will also motivate employees and gives them
more job opportunities as the company grows. Productivity in the workplace is an important
aspect of every company and when top management understands this concept, success is just
around the corner. However, if your company doesn’t give you the incentive to increase
productivity, you may want to start looking for another job because the lifeblood of your
company is running out.
Attainment of higher productivity is one of the main aims of any business enterprise. Higher
productivity ensures lesser cost of production, higher production and most effective utilization of
available resources. The concept of productivity is gaining immense popularity among
producers, employees, and consumers. It is being applied with utmost success in Government,
private and every other type of undertakings as has already been pointed out that increased
productivity ensures higher profits which can be further utilized for installing latest technology
and know-how effecting further improvements in the enterprise. Increased productivity is a
potent instrument in ensuring greater social and economic development of an economy.
3.4 Limitation
Strong self-discipline
Unfortunately, productivity doesn’t come naturally to some people because others are innately
lacking in self-discipline. Without this trait, it will be challenging to create quality output in the
space of time that makes it desirable. For example, a procrastinator may produce good results,
14
but if the output can’t be produced within the required timeframe, it can seriously hamper
productivity.
Distractions
Being in a productive environment comes with its own challenges, such as the exposure to
numerous distractions. Some of these include the constant influx of messages and emails, which
will then tempt you to answer them even if it isn’t necessary. Doing so can inhibit your
productivity. In these cases, it’s necessary to make your environment conducive to productivity
but this can’t always be the solution if your working environment is not in your own control.
CHAPTER 4

focused on the operational fields and doing research by their analytical and intensive study of the
details of operations. While launching new variety or the new product through HRD has now
become more important for manpower obsolescence
Here’s some of factors which is identified for this organization for their continuous improvement
for productivity
1. Design of Goods and Services. The objective in this strategic decision area of operations
management is to match goods and services, organizational capacity and market demand and
preferences. Transcom beverage ’s operations management does so through market-based
research and development and product innovation. For example, Transcom Beverage Ltd

research are used to determine future directions of Transcom beverage ’s products, such as future
variants of Pepsi.
18
2. Quality Management. This strategic decision area has the objective of optimizing quality
based on business and consumer expectations. Transcom beverage ’s operations management
aims to provide the highest quality products under the company’s “Human Sustainability” goals.
For example, new Transcom Beverage Ltd products are usually improved variants, such as low-
calorie Pepsi products and less-salt Frito-Lay products.
3. Process and Capacity Design. Capacity utilization and process efficiency are the emphases in
this strategic decision area of operations management. Transcom Beverage Ltd aims to maximize
its productivity-cost ratio in this area. For example, the company’s manufacturing facilities are
designed with high-output assembly lines. Also, many of Transcom beverages ’s production
processes are automated for optimal efficiency.
4. Location Strategy. Transcom Beverage Ltd has many company-owned facilities and partner-
owned facilities in strategic locations. Such an operations management approach is based on this
strategic decision area’s objective of maximal reach to target markets. In Transcom beverages ’s
case, such facilities are located in key areas near most retailers. Transcom Beverage Ltd is
especially interested in large retail outlets and food service establishments with high sales
volume.
5. Layout Design and Strategy. Efficient movement of people, materials and information is the
operations management concern in this strategic decision area. In Transcom beverages ’s case,

Transcom Beverage Ltd production facilities is centered on the principles of assembly line
production and total quality management (TQM).
6. Job Design and Human Resources. Transcom beverages human resource management
addresses this strategic decision area through a combination of global corporate HR practices and
divisional HR practices. The main operations management objective in this area is to ensure the
adequacy of Transcom beverages ’s workforce. For example, Transcom Beverage Ltd has an HR
policy and job design process for Frito-Lay, and separate HR policy and job design process for
Quaker Foods. However, all of these policies and processes comply with Transcom beverages ’s
corporate standards and “Talent Sustainability” policy.

Transcom Beverage Ltd optimizes response times to fluctuations in demand.
19

decision area of operations management. Transcom Beverage Ltd facility managers implement
human resource schedules based on local data. However, automated scheduling is also used for
some of Transcom beverages production space schedules.

CHAPTER 7
7.1 Conclusion:
Transcom Beverage Ltd is a name of standard and quality product. Use of standardized
instrument transfer techniques can yield significant benefits for the operating team. Like most
psychomotor skills practice is required before proficiency can be achieved. The effort required is
worthwhile if the team wants to maximize efficiency, safety, and reduce stress throughout the
workday. To be successful in instrument transfer the dental team must practice and establish
consistent procedural steps for common procedures. In addition, the dental team must develop a
communication system that ensures understanding between the individuals to recognize when an
instrument is needed or in what location some type of action must take place.
