The study of themes related to productivity has occupied a special place in the strategic agenda of enterprises since the beginnings of mass production. Several models, processes and techniques have been developed with the purpose of improving the present performance levels of organizations. The concept of productivity has been following an evolution cycle from one-dimension approach to a systemic view; however, the different techniques used for its measurement are designed only for some of its specific dimensions. There is a need for integrating those techniques through a systemic productivity management model, and this is the main objective of this paper. Starting from a set of theoretical guidelines that represents the systemic productivity management model, a process was developed for its measurement using the Cambridge process approach. This process was refined by interviews with experts and illustrated by a case study simulation.
