Place the crab cakes into the oven on the broiler rack, right below the broiler, for around 12 minutes. Halfway through the 12 minutes, remove the crab cakes from the broiler rack, flip the crab cakes, and put them back under the broiler. Once complete, the crab cakes should appear golden brown.
Operational efficiency. In a business context, operational efficiency can be defined as the ratio between an output gained from the business and an input to run a business operation. When improving operational efficiency, the output to input ratio improves.
Mechanical efficiency. Mechanical efficiency, measure of the effectiveness with which a mechanical system performs. It is usually the ratio of the power delivered by a mechanical system to the power supplied to it, and, because of friction, this efficiency is always less than one. For simple machines, such as the lever and the jackscrew, the efficiency is the actual load lifted divided by the theoretical force delivered.
