System Efficiency Engineering - Interesting Web Pages and Reports

Efficiency improvement is also referred to by the term cost reduction. Efficiency improvement is not directly aiming revenue expansion but it is focusing on supply chain efficiency with respect to an accepted marketing or sales goal of the organization. But as efficiency improves and cost is reduced, the organizations may be able to lower prices and get more revenue for product that have elastic demand. But the immediate focus of system efficiency project is improvement in efficiency within the context of a targeted production and sales plan.

Industrial engineering is a discipline that focuses on improving the efficiency of  production and distribution systems.
