 +===== About =====
 Efficiency is measured in terms of the time it takes to complete a task from when the task is initiated to when it is successfully completed. The units used to record the time must be uniform for all tasks (i.e., milliseconds,​ seconds, minutes, etc).  Efficiency is measured in terms of the time it takes to complete a task from when the task is initiated to when it is successfully completed.
