Simply By taking Ratio & Proportion, we can say if there's a decrease, increase or the same in worker's productivity:
Present scenario: PS=160units%2F40hours
------> cross%28160%294units%2Fcross%2840%29hour
------> 4units%2Fhr
Previous week: PW=138units%2F36hours
------> cross%28138%293.83333units%2Fcross%2836%29hour
------> 3.83333units%2Fhr
If you see, there's an highlight%28increase%29 in the productivity:
PS%3EPW
