MLSUS-15: Measure material efficiency

Measure efficiency of your workload in provisioned resources per unit of work, to measure not only the business success of the workload, but also its material efficiency. Use this measure as a baseline for your sustainability improvement process.

Implementation plan

  • Use provisioned resources per unit of work as a key performance indicator - Divide the provisioned resources by the business outcomes achieved to determine the provisioned resources per unit of work. This allows you to normalize your sustainability KPIs and compare the performance over time.

  • Establish a baseline - Understand the resources provisioned by your workload to complete a unit of work (for example, training the model or making a prediction)

  • Estimate improvement - Estimate improvement as both the quantitative reduction in resources provisioned and the percentage change from your baseline resources provisioned per unit of work. Quantify the net benefit from your improvement over time to show the return on investment from your improvement activities.
