The principle aim of this applied research is to design and build up an Online\nProductivity Measuring and Analyzing System (OPMAS): Proof-of-Concept1 to\nmeasure and analyze the economic growth and its major sources; the multifactor\nproductivity and factor-intensity at the firm, sub-industry (ISC\n2-digit), and industry levels. Special features of this applied research are the\ninstantaneous productivity measuring and analyzing. In addition, it is developing\nan educational and training HUB for productivity awareness and improvements\nfor both researchers and organizations. Thus, the HUB comes\nwith a prompt measuring tools/models (OPMAS) of the economic performance;\nthe multifactor productivity and singly-factor productivity growth of\na firm using its one-year loss/profit statement or/and time series data. Besides\nto the hubâ??s prompt measuring of productivity, the firm will also be provided\nwith an instant-reporting about its economic performance in-compression to\nits related industry at two different levels (2-digit and i-digit ISC). For example,\na firm operating within Food and Beverages manufacturing industry, it\nwill be compared with the performances of the Food and Beverages manufacturing\nindustry 2-digit ISC and with the performance of the overall Manufacturing\nIndustry, D-ISC. Furthermore, a simulation model (Productivity\nAnalytics) for investigating the impact of various policies on the firmâ??s economic\nperformance could be proposed. The policies which they could be\nanalyzed including environmental regulations, import and export taxes, and\nthe provision of infrastructure.
