To fully understand how the edinn platform helps to increase total efficiency, we need to define 2 concepts: Process and Efficiency.

PROCESS is defined as a set of activities (process) performed by a set of resources (inputs) in order to obtain a set of results (outputs)

This definition allows to consider many things as a process: an employee, a machine, any combination of persons and machines... Some examples:

    • A solar plant can be considered a process. But also each individual solar panel of the solar plant is also a process: they take the sun light as input, and generate electricity as output.
    • A house or building: takes inputs (electricity, water, etc.) and generates outputs (heat, light, etc.).
    • A power generator windmill: takes the wind as input and generates electricity as output.

As you can see, we define the limits of the process and the processes themselves based upon our interests. If we want a deeper analysis, we define lots of little processes, so that we have a detailed analysis of where the losses are. If that deeper analysis is not profitable, because it is enough to have a wider view, then we define processes as groups of processes, for example areas or groups of persons and/or machines.
