Efficiency itself is impossible to measure directly. The classic practical definition is to measure all of the waste produced by the operation (heat, material, labour hours, etc.) and divide them all by the amount of acceptable product produced. You will never get to 'zero', but if the fraction is reduced, efficiency has increased. Good luck, Quality Assurance is the most difficult part of manufacure, but it can be the most rewarding.
Greater efficiency usually includes one or more of the following: The use of fewer resources and less material without a loss of quality The production of less waste A reduction in personpower Clearer and more manageable processes and procedures Over-all increase in quality and productivity Reduced cost of production and reduced price for consumers Possibly, reduced pressure to outsource manufacturing/production This is not an exhaustive list
Efficiency is how quickly you can get things done in a period of time. Quality is how those products turn out when you are done.
If the business is of manufacturing based, then production is the key factor circling which the other activities rotate. Keeping the production cost most competitive vis a vis maintaining quality of the product during production stage are of paramount important in the said business.
advantages.: Maximises the continues utilization of resources. Distributes wealth equally among all peoplce so there are no inequalities. Only products that are required are produced hence prevents production of socially undesired products. Disadvantages. Lack innovation. Can not detect consumer preferences accurately. Resources are misallocated as consumer demands are not satisfied by production. overstaffing problems, poor product quality, lack of efficiency.
Production managers need strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills to coordinate production activities effectively. They also require problem-solving abilities to address challenges that arise during production processes. Additionally, knowledge of production planning, budgeting, and quality control is essential for successful management of production operations.
A production manager need know the process and control point to deliver qualified product. He or she can lead a team and organize production facility well to achieve target capacity or efficiency with low consumption of material or utilities. Quality assurance and safety supervision is required knowledge too.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing, in terms of drug manufacturing involves industrial scale production of drugs. Automated systems, quality control and traceable product codes are all requirements for safety and efficiency.
Quality controllers inspect all aspects product production, from the materials all the way to the finished product. They regularly take samples and perform random inspections to make sure that the product lives up to quality standards.

Quality assurance, or QA for short, refers to a program for the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a project, service, or facility to ensure that standards of quality are being met.It is important to realize also that quality is determined by the program sponsor. QA cannot absolutely guarantee the production of qualityproducts, unfortunately, but makes this more likely.Two key principles characterise QA: "fit for purpose" (the product should be suitable for the intended purpose) and "right first time" (mistakes should be eliminated). QA includes regulation of the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products and components; services related to production; and management, production and inspection processes.It is important to realize also that quality is determined by the intended users, clients or customers, not by society in general: it is not the same as 'expensive' or 'high quality'. Even goods with low prices can be considered quality items if they meet a market need. QA is more than just testing the quality of aspects of a product, service or facility, it analyzes the quality to make sure it conforms to specific requirements and comply with established plans

o Inspection = the process of examining, testing, or checking the production system to ensure that we are making products with the expected quality level and to our quality standards. o Goal is to detect bad processes, deficiencies and product defects. o Inspection = DOES NOT correct deficiencies or defects in products, and it will not add quality to a product.
