Dear SMA Robin,
If you want to increase production, mere knowledge of HR is not sufficient. You may go through the concepts of Production Management. Production is part of the supply chain. Therefore, you need to understand your complete supply chain as well.

Dear Robin,
Learn the business very well, understand how the current production is functioning, spend a good time in learning and understanding the production process. Walk and talk on the production floor with the workers for a few days. Then, understand the current incentive scheme, who the workers are, how they are currently compensated, and what factors motivate the workers.
In one of my companies, we were able to reach optimum production targets in just 12 months. We motivated the workers by setting small targets initially. Once they achieved those targets, we set slightly higher ones. Progressively, we were able to set even higher targets, which had previously been achieved in the same factory in Malaysia and Spain.
Wish you good luck.

Hi there. It is rarely the case that the HR would be assigned with increasing production rates due to the limited knowledge this function usually has for the business itself. I agree with the suggestions above - you need to get familiar with the business to know its flows.
I would suggest having regular meetings with the managers of the respective groups and discuss current issues. It is possible that productivity is low due to technical issues with software or machines that are causing delays in employees' delivery or difficult relationships with a vendor - to sum up - it may be due to reasons outside the control of the employees.
If this is not the case, you can dig into the issues as recognized by the management or the workers themselves - it is always a good idea to listen to what they have to say. And, of course - make sure all people take their respective time off - this always increases productivity + you don't have to worry about paying off these days or having someone OoO for a month just before the end of the year.
I hope this helps.

Dear Robin,
Your organization is highly laudable for recognizing that HR contributes to increasing productivity, dispelling the theory that HRM is merely a staff function confined to the sidelines.
Regarding your inquiry about the role of HRM in boosting productivity, HR must take the lead in enhancing employee motivation and morale. The specific tools and techniques to achieve this will vary based on the organizational diagnosis. Without a thorough understanding of the details, it would be inappropriate to suggest any particular measures. However, one crucial step for HR is to develop a suitable Incentive Scheme for the unit.
Thank you.

Dear all,
In my opinion, HR does not need to handle the production rate. It is the responsibility of the Production Manager. HR's suggestions are required to reduce the rate of attrition due to the absence or insufficiency of welfare activities, which affects the production rate.

Dear Mr. Robin,
From an HR point of view, we have several opportunities to increase productivity both directly and indirectly. These opportunities include:
1. Eliminating absenteeism or reducing absenteeism.
2. Identifying employees' skill gaps and fulfilling those gaps.
3. Enhancing training effectiveness with new concepts such as identifying and solving production defects, among others.
These activities will certainly support productivity.
