People talk any  sort of thing in the name of productivity and nearly all of them are correct. It appears that endless string of words may be coined using productivity as the suffix. In this application paper, the author makes an attempt to measure the productivity of a continuous production system comprising of various interconnecting plants by two approaches and  discussed the limitations and the advantages of both the approaches.
