How can you measure production efficiency? How about efficiency in quality assurance?

Divide whatever input metric of interest by units produced.  Sometimes you may want to look at hours of labor per unit, or dollars per units.  You may also flip the ratio and look at things like units per machine, units per worker, or units per facility.\n   Efficiency in QA is the same way. Units per QA analyst would be a metric.  Quality and efficiency are conflicting priorities, so you can only look at one against the other, as in efficeny of QA staff, or in quality from production staff.

The process industries, including the petroleum, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical businesses, have benchmarked best management practices to understand capital project system performance. They have identified Value Improving Practices (VIP) that deliver results. These include the practices of Value Engineering, Process Simplification, Project Value Objectives, Constructibility Reviews, and others. \n\nLZA is a leader in applying VIPs to process designs. Phillips Petroleum adopted LZA's Project Value Objectives technique as one of its own VIPs. Through Project Value Objectives, the stakeholders of a project (engineering, production, marketing, the finance/business manager, and the user) define the project's objectives for such critical factors as cost, schedule, cycle time, quality, and safety. Developing the project definition and goals in a team approach ensures that the required functions are stated and the needs of each participant are clearly communicated. This is typically the earliest and best technique to define a program.\n\nMany owners apply two or three Value Improving Practices to a project over its planning/design life cycle, thereby ensuring that not only the project but also the total capital program are conceived and managed for optimum performance. \n\nLZA has assisted many process owners with Value Engineering, Process Simplification, Project Value Objectives, and Constructibility Review services.

I don't know of an actual quantitative or qualitative scale to measure a country's development.   However there is a litmus test that economists generally use to measure how developed a country is.  You see how industrialized it is.  What kind of exporting or importing it does, how much foreign dependency it has.

it is directly propotional(when efficiencies r equal)\nactual value may vary based on efficiency i9j al;l other cases

I've not understood so well what are you looking for, but did you tryed to use MS Project? \nYou will create resources and tasks. Associating these taks to the resources you will know approxiamtive production cost of your project. \n\nOne possible extension of this kind of work is use BSC, balance scorecard.\n\n..................................\nIndicators like \nScheduled Performance Indicator, Earned Value and Cost Performance Index must be worked using sheets. \n\nYou can have an direct output from MS Project and put all values direct on a table, gatting on this wayautomatic responses. \n\nBefore you define an standard, you will loose near to 4 hours of your time to build it and after, less than 1 hour each week to keep information updated. \n\nUsually to collect is a big issue once depends about how many people you have under your responsability and how you will manage updates in your timeline. \n\nWhat is most difficult it define and implement these metrics. How to define standards, define your version of the actual project's photo and then, apply it to the indicators to populate your weekly sheet. \n\nEverything is liked to your Project Plan and how attached it is to the reality. Usually its dificult to keep controlling it. \n\nI hope to have answered your question.

This is part of what is now called lean manufacturing. It is the idea of manufacturing in an efficient way. No wasted time, material etc...

Do a project on which product is better

It goes little something like this:\n\nEfficacy - Power or capacity to produce a desired effect; effectiveness.

just try to make me understand what kind of performance measurement tool u required and for what pupose.

the project monitoring comes first and then the evaluation.\nyou cannot make an accurate evaluation unless a project monitoring is done.

By measuring the Biological Oxygen demand (BOD) or the Chemical oxygen demand (COD) \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOD\n\nhope these are helpful :)

quality assurance can be applied to anything, plant, company tools, equipment, etc.    Just creat some limits and quidelines for each, thats a start. ie: office chairs, must have 5 legs or tables must be black or your product that you put out must meet written quailty (no bad spelling)...not sure of what it is you want tho

It is basically the Six Sigma Methodology but integrated with Lean Manufacturing Tools in the Define Phase and in the improvement process.\n\nYes, I am an Industrial Engineer... also a Six Sigma Black Belt, and was trained in Lean Manufacturing.  If you need more info email me... nunezf@yahoo.com

Efficient is being able to get things done quickly. Sufficient means good enough.

Well the term quality control can be applied to any lab environment, its what you do to make sure that the experiment or equipment is running smoothly.  For an experiment or industrial process, its something that you do that you already know the answer for, so you can tell if your setup is running correctly.

There is not sufficient information to calculate efficiency. \n\nFor an engine you need the energy input and the energy output. Energy output divided by energy input times 100 gives you the efficiency. \n\nThe amount of fuel and its energy content will take care of the input. The output requires a dynamometer or some other means of measuring the energy output at the engine shaft

Lean manufacturing used low inventory levels and other techniques to produce goods only as needed.\n\nGet the book "Lean Thinking".  It's chock-full on the subject with case studies and all.
