A by-product is a supplementary or secondary product (arising as the result of a process) whose value is a small relative to that of the principal product.

In the timber industry, for example, by-products include sawdust, small offcuts and bark.

What is the best definition of productivity?

The amount of biomass made by producers. A more general definition of productivity is the energy and intention used to meet or exceed set goals. As an example: A person might visit a website---there is little productivity in this example. However, when that person visits Answers.com and gives thoughtful and correct answers to questions, there is productivity. If I set a goal to answer 20 questions, but I end up answering 45 questions, I have met and exceeded my productivity goal. Being "productive" means doing worthwhile and accurate work toward a goal, whether you or someone else sets the goal. Example: A grocery store clerk finishes her work. There are no customers in the store. To remain productive, she voluntarily takes on other tasks during this slow time. That is being productive. In business, her productivity is seen as a plus for her continued employment.

What factors might cause costs for an organization to misalign with productivity?

Productivity is usually calculated as the amount of output per employee.Costs for an organization include both personnel costs and non-personnel costs.Increasing productivity would seem to align with lowering costs. But this is not always the case. For example, by automating functions a company can increase productivity but due to the cost of the automation, total costs may go up instead of down. As another example, running an assembly line faster may seem to increase productivity, however increased errors in the products may impose costs in excess of the productivity savings.
