RATIONALE

Firms need to ensure that they continuously improve productivity to enhance their competitive edge. The gains from higher productivity will enable firms to rationalise cost and sustain labour cost competitiveness which is crucial in an ever changing economic environment. To ensure that firms remain cost competitive, the issue of linking wages to productivity should be given emphasis. Any increase in wages should be supported by growth in productivity to avoid high cost of production or service provided. MPC has developed an interactive approach to PLWS through the i_PLWS programme. This hands-on system will enable firms to simulate their own PLWS Models for implementation at all levels of the firm

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the programme, participants should be able to:
• Assist firms in the implementation process of PLWS
• Analyse case examples which can be adapted and adopted at the firm level
• Enable companies simulate their own PLWS models through the i-PLWS programme
