The fact that this measure of management efficiency is above the industry average is definitely a good sign. It could mean a number of things -- that the company's products take fewer hours to sell than competitors', perhaps because they leap off the shelf; that management has found a way to trim the time it takes to make its goods, or found ways to reorganize the paper flow in a company so that overhead is lower than is common elsewhere in the industry.
