Efficiency focuses on short manufacturing times, work times, lead times and cycle times (Franke et al. 2010).
Furthermore, athenahealth wants to combine Epocrates' mobile expertise with its own cloud-based network to introduce new apps and create advanced mobile workflows to improve provider efficiency, focusing on care coordination, provider-to-provider comms and patient engagement.
In the next sections, I will explore in more depth these three types of production, namely: focus on production efficiency, focus on production in demanding environments and focus on production for consumers.
The "Literature review" section reviews previous research on energy efficiency, focusing on SFA studies, and the "Methods" section presents the framework for empirical analysis and describes the model and data.
Over the past 10 years, considerable effort has been made to improving power generation efficiency, focusing mainly on different MFC setups and new materials (Kim et al. [2008]; Lovley [2006]; Sleutels et al. [2012]).
We've been working with clients for years to solve this problem, and we see a core underlying issue: typical efforts to promote energy efficiency focus narrowly on specific concerns -- namely, saving money or receiving incentives.
A second strategy for reducing recombination efficiency focuses on reducing CreER expression, either by using an IRES-CreER knock-in allele, which likely decreases translation inefficiency, or, as in the R26rtTACreER locus, by overlaying a second level of transcriptional regulation.
Static efficiency focuses on how best to allocate data assets that exist today.
Finally the discourse of efficiency focuses on joint commissioning as a way of reducing bureaucracy and waste.
