It achieves this by increasing efficiency in established processes (whether administrative or medical), promoting positive health-related behaviour change and increasing the effectiveness of therapeutic processes and procedures.
The GRID-Arendal Centre, a partner of the United Nations Environment Programme, says a substantial share of the increasing food demand could be met by increasing efficiency in the supply chain.
In MRO hubs, the operating inputs tend to be low-value goods with relatively high transaction costs, so these e-hubs provide value largely by increasing efficiencies in the procurement process.
This has in part been compensated by increased efficiency and mechanisation, both in fisheries, aquaculture and processing.
Although overall attack rates were similar for Australia and Singapore, this finding highlights the geographic heterogeneity of influenza spread and suggests that latitude may be a critical predictor of susceptibility to influenza, which might be explained by increased efficiency of transmission of influenza in cold temperatures (25 ) or population levels of vitamin D stores (26 ).
Improved technical performance increases user acceptance by reducing "nuisance" alerts and enables increased efficiency in warning the driver or taking corrective actions.
This situation would be analogous to Southwest Airlines, which increased efficiency in part by limiting the scope of their services.
This means there is little financial incentive for EU-based companies to cut emissions, by increasing efficiency or investing in technology such as renewable energy.
By contrast, increasing efficiency in non-domestic buildings often means focusing on ventilation and air-conditioning, in addition to lighting, heating and appliances.
