Productivity Is More Than Just the Production Process: The Minister of Manpower’s 4P+1M Strategy to Strengthen National Competitiveness
Minister of Manpower Yassierli emphasized that higher corporate productivity must be accompanied by the ability to manufacture quality products that meet market demands.
“This alignment is key to creating added value and strengthening the competitiveness of our national industry,” the Minister of Manpower stated during an evaluation of the productivity improvement subsidy in Jakarta on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
This productivity improvement subsidy is a new pilot project launched by the Ministry of Manpower—a government intervention program designed to help 20 companies boost their productivity.
The subsidy program has been underway since September, and during this evaluation, several participating companies presented the progress they have made over the past two months.
Yassierli argued that productivity cannot be built solely through improvements to production processes within factories or offices.
Companies must also implement the 4P+1M approach: work processes (Process), product quality (Product), staff competence (People), corporate policy (Policy), and marketing.

Among these five elements, Yassierli believes that understanding market needs deserves special attention. Increasing production capacity is pointless if a company fails to identify opportunities or ensure there is a clear market for its products.
“Any increase in productivity will have no real impact if the market cannot absorb the product,” he said. He also emphasized that any productivity mentoring program must yield measurable economic benefits.
He stated that a measurable and structured mentoring approach should serve as the foundation for the program’s expansion.
If this pilot project proves successful, the intention is to extend the mentoring to more companies next year.
“Although the mentoring currently reaches only dozens of companies, the program should eventually encompass thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of businesses,” said Yassierli.
Darmawansyah, Director General of Vocational Training and Productivity Development (Binalavotas), explained that increasing corporate productivity is part of the Ministry of Manpower’s efforts to strengthen the demand side of the labor market.
This initiative goes hand in hand with strengthening the supply side—human capital—through vocational training and apprenticeship programs.
“In other words, we are intervening on the supply side through vocational training and apprenticeships, and on the demand side by boosting the productivity of companies,” Darmawansyah stated. ***rel

Produktivitas Bukan Sekadar Proses Produksi: Strategi 4P+1M ala Menaker untuk Perkuat Daya Saing Nasional
Menteri Ketenagakerjaan (Menaker) Yassierli menekankan bahwa peningkatan produktivitas perusahaan harus diiringi kemampuan menghasilkan produk berkualitas yang sesuai kebutuhan pasar.
“Keselarasan itu, menjadi kunci menciptakan nilai tambah dan memperkuat daya saing industri nasional,” kata Menaker dalam Evaluasi Kegiatan Pendampingan Peningkatan Produktivitas di Jakarta, Selasa, 3 November 2026.
Pendampingan peningkatan produktivitas ini merupakan proyek percontohan (pilot project) baru Kemnaker berupa intervensi pemerintah kepada 20 perusahaan agar produktivitasnya meningkat.
Pendampingan berjalan sejak September, dan pada evaluasi ini sejumlah perusahaan memaparkan progres selama dua bulan.
Yassierli menyatakan, produktivitas tidak cukup dibangun lewat perbaikan proses produksi di internal pabrik atau kantor.
Perusahaan juga perlu menerapkan pendekatan 4P+1M, yaitu proses kerja (process), kualitas produk (product), kompetensi sumber daya manusia (people), kebijakan perusahaan (policy), dan pemasaran (marketing).
Dari kelima unsur itu, Yassierli menilai pemahaman terhadap kebutuhan pasar perlu mendapat perhatian khusus. Peningkatan kapasitas produksi tidak akan bermakna jika perusahaan gagal membaca peluang dan memastikan produknya memiliki pasar yang jelas.
“Peningkatan produktivitas ini tidak akan berdampak nyata jika pasarnya tidak mampu menyerap produk tersebut,” ujarnya.
Ia juga menegaskan bahwa setiap pendampingan produktivitas harus menghasilkan manfaat ekonomi yang terukur.
Pendekatan pendampingan yang terukur dan terstruktur, kata dia, diharapkan menjadi landasan untuk memperluas cakupan program.
Jika proyek percontohan ini berhasil, pendampingan direncanakan diperluas ke lebih banyak perusahaan tahun depan.
“Jika saat ini pendampingan baru menjangkau puluhan perusahaan, ke depannya program tersebut harus mencakup ribuan bahkan ratusan ribu perusahaan,” ujar Yassierli.
Direktur Jenderal Pembinaan Pelatihan Vokasi dan Produktivitas (Binalavotas) Darmawansyah mengatakan, peningkatan produktivitas perusahaan merupakan bagian dari upaya Kemnaker memperkuat sisi permintaan tenaga kerja (demand).
Upaya itu berjalan beriringan dengan penguatan sisi penawaran sumber daya manusia (supply) melalui pelatihan vokasi dan pemagangan.
“Jadi, kita melakukan intervensi dari sisi supply melalui pelatihan vokasi dan pemagangan, kemudian dari sisi demand melalui peningkatan produktivitas perusahaan,” kata Darmawansyah. ***rel
