Is there anything else? Because it asks for 2 Major Factors.
Efficiency is a measure of how well a system or process uses resources to achieve a desired outcome. It is important because it helps us understand and improve the effectiveness of our actions and systems, leading to better productivity and cost savings.
Efficiency is typically calculated as the ratio of output to input, expressed as a percentage. For example, if a system produces 80 units with 100 units of input, the efficiency would be 80%.
There are several factors that can contribute to efficiency being less than 100%, including human error, equipment malfunction, inefficient processes, and external factors such as weather or supply chain disruptions.
Efficiency can be improved through various methods, such as optimizing processes, using more advanced technology, training employees, and implementing lean principles. Regular analysis and continuous improvement efforts are key to increasing efficiency.
In theory, 100% efficiency is possible, but in practice, it is extremely difficult to achieve. This is due to the presence of limiting factors and the law of diminishing returns. However, striving for continuous improvement can help to get as close to 100% efficiency as possible.
