Decision makers need methods to help them identify the optimal allocation of limited resources to meet conservation goals, and decision analysis is uniquely suited to assist with the development of such methods.
It is then noted that this theorem may be adapted to apply to any partial ordering of component criticalities, thereby yielding a result that may be used in tandem with algebraic arguments to identify the optimal allocation of component reliabilities in systems which fail to satisfy the sufficient conditions for overall optimality given in the main result.
Health care decision-makers are faced with the challenge of identifying the optimal allocation of limited resources to optimize health benefit.
A fundamental challenge in managing a pharmaceutical company is identifying the optimal allocation of finite resources across the infinite constellation of available investment opportunities.
Thus, examining the properties of the objective function,, at the boundaries of the choice set is an appropriate first step for identifying the optimal allocation of resources.
Identifying the optimal allocation of available resources in order to maximize health gains in the patient population is a continuous challenge to health-care system sustainability.
DHMT has always faced a lack of data for planning and its' staff affirm that accessing basic information through local governments narrows the gap between the identified needs and the allocation of human resources.
Strategies to address barriers identified such as the allocation of responsibility among medical and nursing staff, visibility of alerts or the existence of a feedback mechanism on its use have also been proposed [ 31, 32].
Considerable research has focused on assessing the risk of terrorist attacks on chemical facilities; however, conventional risk-based methods do not take into account the strategy adjustments of terrorists and cannot identify the optimal global allocation of defensive resources.
Spatial optimisation methods can be applied to identify the most effective allocation of a given budget for conservation.
