Better title needed. The word "efficient" is a common one used in many different contexts. --mav

What about 'efficient' and 'effective' The german wikipedia makes a distinction between both. If there is such a distinction in english (I do not know, I am no native speaker) then you should probably mention it.

efficiency/effectiveness

moved this from the article:

The term "efficient" is very much confused and misused with the term "effective", though a scientific impact takes place. Efficiency is a measureable, quantitative concept, given by the equation: Efficiency = Output/Input (which is same as the concept productivity); or alternatively Efficiency = Output/Predetermined expectation. Whereas Effectiveness is a vague, almost non-quantitative concept, mainly concerned with achieving objectives. --212.72.25.10 08:01, 17 November 2005 (UTC)"[reply]

perhaps created because of the redirect from effective? I'm changing the redirect to point to effectiveness which already exists. --naught101 06:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
