Productivity-improving technologies date back to antiquity, with rather slow progress until the late Middle Ages. Important examples of early to medieval European technology include the water wheel, the horse collar, the spinning wheel, the three-field system (after 1500 the four-field system—see crop rotation) and the blast furnace.
The Solow–Swan model or exogenous growth model is an economic model of long-run economic growth.It attempts to explain long-run economic growth by looking at capital accumulation, labor or population growth, and increases in productivity largely driven by technological progress.
While the computing capacity of the U.S. increased a hundredfold in the 1970s and 1980s, [6] labor productivity growth slowed from over 3% in the 1960s to roughly 1% in the 1980s. This perceived paradox was popularized in the media by analysts such as Steven Roach and later Paul Strassman.
Productivity is the efficiency of production of goods or services expressed by some measure. Measurements of productivity are often expressed as a ratio of an aggregate output to a single input or an aggregate input used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input, typically over a specific period of time.

Reducing cycle time can lead to increased production efficiency and customer satisfaction. Capacity Utilization: This metric assesses how close you are to reaching your maximum production capacity. High utilization rates can indicate efficient use of resources, though they must be balanced to avoid overworking machinery or personnel.

For example, when inputs (labor and capital) increase by 100%, the increase in output is less than 100%. The main reason for the decreasing returns to scale is the increased management difficulties associated with the increased scale of production, the lack of coordination in all stages of production, and the resulting decrease in production ...
However, at this time, social facilitation simply meant an "increase in response merely from the sight or sound of others making the same movement." [5] Hazel Markus of the University of Michigan conducted an experiment to test the hypothesis that the mere presence of others can influence an individual's performance. [12]
