In economic terms, it is typically measured as the ratio of output produced to the quantity of inputs used in production. These inputs can include labor, capital, materials, and energy. Higher tuotettavuus means more output is generated for the same amount of input, or the same output is generated with fewer inputs.

Factors that influence tuotettavuus are diverse and can include technological advancements, process improvements, worker training and education, organizational efficiency, and investment in capital goods.

There are different ways to measure tuotettavuus. Labor tuotettavuus, for instance, measures output per worker or per hour worked. Capital tuotettavuus measures output relative to the capital employed. Total factor tuotettavuus, a more comprehensive measure, accounts for the combined contribution of all inputs. Understanding and enhancing tuotettavuus is a central goal in management and economic policy.
