These challenges generate a need for management efficiency and the use of modern decision technology tools.
However, slope stability analysis of a large, deep copper mine indicated a need for computational efficiency even in two-dimensional analysis of vertical sections through pit walls [Puri S. Role of joint persistence in rock slope stability. MS thesis, Department of Mining Engineering, University of Utah, 2006].
Continued growth of the world's population and the simultaneous scarcity of resources have led to a need for increased efficiency in almost all areas of life.
This may result in a need for heightened efficiency placing increasing work pressure on employees in the health care sector.
In addition to collaboration and networking, there is a need for greater efficiency in health research, with an imperative to reduce the time between new scientific discoveries and patient benefits [ 4– 6].
Delays in laboratory results were recently identified as one of the major barriers to the early initiation of thrombolysis therapy in a simulation-based approach [ 48], highlighting a need for improved efficiency in testing.
Although WES has been integral in identifying more than 1,000 novel genes in Mendelian disorders [ 1], there is still a need for increased efficiency of gene discovery using WES data.
Only 1.8%, 1.8% and 8.8% of sample hospitals were defined as overall technically efficient, indicating a great need for efficiency improvement, while the average SE in sample hospitals was quite high and increased from 0.932 in 2010 to 0.969 in 2012.
There was also a greater need for efficiency in resource utilization and a larger potential for standardizing work tasks in the service business, compared to the tasks performed in engineering projects.
I first noticed this trend in the late 2000s in the microbusiness space, with small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) who had a greater need for efficiency and higher risk for experimentation with a new way of selling.
