Productivity is the amount of work done or items produced divided by the amount of people or time it took to do that work.

If you make 8 widgets in 2 hours that is 4 widgets per hour or 0.25 man hours per widget.

You improve productivity by reducing the time per widget or making more in the same amount of time. How, you ask? Improve tools, reduce steps between operations, improve ergonomics or move faster.
