Efficiency calculation software for defining and operating with project and business indicators

• What is calculating efficiency? How can efficiency calculation software help?

Business efficiency calculator is a tool that allows controlling business resources, as efficiency in business is the ability to use available business resources and means with maximal productivity and utility. In other words question "how to calculate effectiveness?" refers to specific understanding of "efficiency" and way to apply this conception in practice. In order to calculate efficiency that can be understood in business as determination of utility which some business resource is used with, you need to design an appropriate formula in accordance with the estimation of utility. Utility is determined by quality of inputs processing and producing outputs. That's why process of calculating efficiencyis strongly related to calculation of productivity and taking business resources under accurate control which can be carried out with help of software.

• How to design a formula for specific business case?

In the result of formula we can get percentage which represents value of current efficiency in percents of best possible efficiency (100%), but how to calculate efficiencyis predefined by specific business objectives and peculiarities of specific situation. Also in order to calculate efficiency we should clearly understand matters which we work with. In order to know how to calculate efficiency we should understand mechanism of how our inputs are processed to produce outputs. Also for designing formula we should know standards for object whose efficiency we research.

For example in business we can take general way of calculating efficiency of time use on the project - you may need to calculate efficiencywhich some period of time is used with. In other words you need to calculate amount of outputs produced during some activity per time unit. Actually we need to calculate productivity of our project team per time unit and compare this value against highest possible productivity (that can be reached in normal conditions, without forcing, overtime work etc.). Proceeding with this example we can say that basis for estimation is formula "output/input" (in given example "amount of production/amount of time").

VIP Task Manager is collaborative project management software that can work as efficiency calculation software. It can help you to understand when your organization or business system reaches the state of the highest productivity.With a help of efficiency calculator you can detect when more output cannot be obtained without increasing the amount of inputs.

Also with help of the software you can find out that production proceeds at the lowest possible per-unit cost. These indicators are the basics for calculating efficiency in business systems. This efficiency calculator allows you to work with calculations in terms of time and quantitative inputs/outputs as you can supplement each task with calculated attributes to make them an essential element of indicating and calculating effectiveness.
