Operational Efficiency
Achieving goals with minimum resources; effectiveness of operations.
Formula
Operational Efficiency = Output / Input
Real World
Toyota's lean manufacturing system reduces waste and minimises production time, allowing it to build a car in around 18 hours compared to 35+ hours at less efficient rivals.
Exam Focus
Use specific operational metrics (cost per unit, waste %) rather than general statements to demonstrate evaluation.
