It aims to help support the promotion of productivity for manufacturing firms belonging to the Federation of Thai Industries or FTI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The analysis is based on survey data collected from FTI\u2010based manufacturing firms. There are five profiles: industrial type; size; years operating in business; ownership; and targeted customer to be studied in a pair\u2010wise circumstance. There are 40 companies that participated in this study. The statistical analyses include general linear mode with ANOVA. Altogether, there are a total of 138 circumstances (pair\u2010wise profiles) under study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>In general, productivity information is important as indicated from most circumstances \u2013 the must\u2010measure and require\u2010to\u2010measure circumstances. The findings also indicate that there is no specific prediction for particular circumstances (e.g. the larger\u2010size firms with longer years operating in business need productivity information than the smaller ones).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show that there is no need for the FTI to single out specific groups to focus on productivity\u2010measurement efforts. The study helps gain better understanding into the issues regarding when\u2010to\u2010measure productivity. It is generally known that there are a few measurement techniques that are communicated to the FTI firms on a regular basis such as multi\u2010factor productivity measurement and value\u2010added productivity measurement \u2013 what to measure. In addition, their applications are primarily at the organizational and production levels \u2013 where\u2010to\u2010measure.
