Efficiency factor

Efficiency factor is a ratio of performance.

Data communication

In data communications, the ratio of (a) the time to transmit a text automatically at a specified modulation rate to (b) the time actually required to receive the same text at a specified maximum error rate.
All of the communication facilities are assumed to be in the normal condition of adjustment and operation.
Telegraph communications may have different temporal efficiency factors for the two directions of transmission.
The practical conditions of measurement should be specified, especially the duration of the measurement.

Industrial Engineering

The efficiency factor is a performance index, which expresses the relationship between the allowance time and the time taken in the form of percentage.
Efficiency factors are used in performance rating and remuneration calculation exercises. The efficiency factor is an index that extremely simple to use and readily comprehensible, the prerequisite being exact time management for maintaining the allowed times.[1]
