Efficiency

The relationship between useful output and the resources or standard input required to produce it.

Examples

  1. 01The efficiency of the assembly team is 92 %: they produced 920 units in the time standard says 1,000 should take.
  2. 02The weekly review compares efficiency with target and the prior four weeks for each team.
  3. 03A project to remove waiting time uses efficiency as its outcome measure, and the gain must last three months.
