turnaround times

Turnaround time refers to the total period it takes to complete a process from start to finish. For example, in healthcare, it’s the time from when a test is ordered until the results are received. In business, it might be the time taken to produce and deliver a product after an order is placed. This measurement helps assess efficiency and can influence how quickly services are provided or products are delivered. Shorter turnaround times often indicate more streamlined processes, while longer ones may signal delays that could need addressing for improvement.
