Right now we're seeing productivity increase in manufacturing simply because we're seeing less competitive companies disappear. So overall we're seeing an increase in productivity in the sector, but when you look at operational process measures like work in progress as a percentage of sales or inventories as a percentage of sales, the things that make sense to business--productivity numbers really don't make too much sense as a business indicator--productivity may be going up, but those numbers may be going the other way. So you can have a more productive manufacturing sector, but at the same time it can be less competitive.
All I'm saying is that we have to be really careful how we use these economic indicators and be very clear about what we're trying to do in order to boost productivity, which is to invest in those productive assets that generate high value going forward, I think.
