Year: 2024
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Purpose—This study examines the relationships among factors that can potentially influence the effectiveness of operations management in real-time productivity accounting data that can measure the real-time performance of any business operations. The focus is to develop and research this area of productivity management to advance its implementation and adoption in improving business operations. The study objective is to review productivity management-related fields to reveal the location of attention of previous studies. A bibliometric analysis was adopted for this investigation, and data were gathered from the Web of Science (ISI). Keywords such as “Productivity management”, “Productivity measurement”, and “Productivity Improvement” were selected to source documentation from the database. VOSviewer was chosen as the most advanced system that can be used to formulate a co-authorship and co-occurrence map based on the bibliographic data gathered. The study findings discovered that the emphasis is placed on time, systems, impact, work, cost, and labour productivity. The research findings exposed a knowledge gap in the literature that can be explored in emerging countries, predominantly, in Africa, to improve operations management by improving productivity measurements within the continent.
