A concept for measurable indicators assessing resource usage, throughput and time expenditure across processes, systems or teams.
Efficiency metrics are measurable indicators that quantify resource usage, throughput and time spent across processes, systems or teams. They reveal bottlenecks, prioritize optimization opportunities and support data-driven decisions. Applicable to monitoring, performance analysis and continuous improvement, they inform both operational control and strategic objectives.
Percentage usage of CPU, memory or I/O to assess efficiency.
Number of processed units per time; central for performance evaluation.
Time span from start to completion of a process or task.
Central dashboard displays CPU, memory and network metrics for quick fault detection.
Measuring requests/sec and average latency for capacity planning.
Analysis of lead times and WIP to identify process bottlenecks.
1) Define and prioritize relevant metrics.
2) Implement collection mechanisms (collectors, instrumentation).
3) Set up dashboards, alerts and review process.
