Effectiveness is bringing about the right change to achieve the desired output. Efficiency does not necessarily mean effectiveness but effectiveness means certain efficiency. Often we confuse efficiency with effectiveness. Most of the time when we say we want to increase efficiency what we actually mean is we have to increase the effectiveness of the action. Effectiveness is more about the control that we
exercise on the process. ASPM uses tools like Lean, Lean six sigma, SPC-SQC, ISO 9001 for increasing effectiveness. For more details please contact info@aspmconsulting.com
