Productivity improvement is a continuous process based on improvement. The research utilised the methods of statistical analysis, content analysis, and descriptive analysis of secondary data. The results of the research involved the development of a comprehensive methodology for improving productivity based on modern concepts, methods, and techniques of production management. To analyse and design the methodology for improving productivity in a production company, and to ensure its proper and effective functioning, it is necessary to implement in stages several organisational, technical and social tasks.
