Productivity is down at Sigamas Furniture, a manufacturing organisation located in

Lusaka Industrial Area which produces low cost wooden and steel furniture. Miyoba,

the CEO, is concerned about the low productivity level as he has recently received an

order from the Ministry of Health to produce beds and pedestals by the end

of the month of December. With the current levels of productivity so low it is unlikely

that even of the order will be completed in time.
