TAT, or Turnaround Time, refers to the total time taken to complete a process or fulfill a request. It is commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and customer service, to measure efficiency and performance. A shorter TAT often indicates better operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. In the context of business, TAT can impact decision-making and resource allocation. Companies strive to reduce TAT to enhance productivity and meet customer demands more effectively. Monitoring TAT helps organizations identify bottlenecks and improve their overall workflow.
