In economics, efficiency means the overall use of resources. The overall use of resources can help maximize the production of the goods. In turn, the potential to make more money is there.
What to produce?There are two aspects of this problem--- firstly, which goods should be produced, and secondly, what should be the quantities of the goods that are to be produced. The first problem relates to the goods which are to be produced. In other words, what goods should be produced? An economy wants many things but all these cannot be produced with the available resources.Therefore, an economy has to choose what goods should be produced and what goods should not be. In other words, whether consumer goods should be produced or producer goods or whether general goods should be produced or capital goods or whether civil goods should be produced or defense goods. The second problem is what should be the quantities of the goods that are to be produced.Production of goods depends upon the use of resources. Hence, this problem is the problem of allocation of resources. If we allocate more resources for the production of one commodity, the re­sources for the production of other commodities would be less.

Economics is about the production and distribution and ownership and taxation of goods, services, and wealth.
The way goods and services are produced and provided to consumers, and used by them.
Optimum allocation is when productive and allocative efficiency co-exist. Productive efficiency is achieved when when products are made with the least possible use of the resources, i.e, by incurring lowest possible costs in producing them Allocative efficiency is achieved when the combination of products produced provide consumers the greatest possible satisfaction, i.e, goods which are most wanted are produced When both these elements are present, there is also economics efficiency. This means that resources are used in the best way possible, i.e, producing the goods which are most wanted with the least possible use of resources
