Hi all,
I am going to sit for an interview focusing on Operational Improvement or Supply Chain Management.
However, I am confused about several terms that are usually used in these types of cases.
From my understanding,
1) Capacity = number of units can be produced
2) Productivity = output/input or output/time
3) Utilisation = utilisation rate of a machine from its maximum capacity
4) Efficiency = output/input but in terms of quality
I am really confused about productivity and efficiency. Are productivity and efficiency the same?
Hope someone can answer my questions! Thanks!
