The Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Excess Production Capability of Production Units.

Abstract

Efficiency and Effectiveness are two measures commonly used to evaluate Production Units (PU). Whereas the Efficiency measurement shows how well a PU transforms its inputs into outputs and prescribes a corrective course of action to make an inefficient PU efficient relative to other similar PU, the Effectiveness measurement shows how well a PU is producing relative to a management defined mission or goal for production output. This report shows how Efficiency affects Effectiveness and presents a methodology for statistically comparing a PU's production to mission. A method ranking both efficient and inefficient PU according to their excess production capability is introduced. This methodology also permits one to determine the over production of a PU, which is essential in the Effectiveness measurements. The material in this report will be applied to a subsequent separate report to the fifty-six US Army Recruiting Battalions.
