Innovation is more about problem-solving and learning than aboutscientificdiscovery,moreaboutthecustomerthantheproducer,moreaboutthemarketplacethanthelaboratoryandmore about business transformation than technology.

Productivityisnotaboutdoingmorewithless,noraboutworkingpeopleharderfor longer. Productivity improvement is not generally the result of greater capital investment to replace labour. Productivity does not equate with efficiency; it centres on innovation and transformation–ofbusinesscapabilities,processes,skills,technologyandcompetitiveness.

Inpracticalterms,theproductivitygainsthatmattertomanufacturerscomefromincreasingrevenue,notjustcuttingcosts.

MPO 2014 will focus on addressing the productivity linked issues that is bleeding the manufacturing sector and will be a platform where path breaking case studies arepresented,currentnormsarechallengedandarobustplanofactionisdevisedbyindustry thought leaders.
