Based on the micro household-level survey data, this paper investigates the effect of the TPHE on achieving the twin objectives of efficiency and equity respectively.
The investment in SHD is part of the New Public Management (NPM) reform trend, associated with objectives of efficiency, cost control and performance evaluation.
Objective measures of efficiency and effectiveness: In terms of efficiency, users spent less time to complete the task using Galean ((M = 895.58), (mathit {SD}= 317.9)) than using the baseline interface ((M = 955.65), (mathit {SD}= 416.57)), though this difference is not significant ((p = 0.18)).
High-level editors at Condé Nast said that a decision by the company to hire the consulting firm McKinsey & Company to review how things are done at the magazines — presumably with the objective of improving efficiency and saving money — has made staffers nervous.
"What we are doing is getting rid of [paper] notebooks for quality, safety and maintenance and providing a digital guide on how to capture work with the objective of increasing efficiency, reducing safety incidents and increasing quality," Whittle explained.
The VGS® process combines a scrubber and an advanced oxidation/reduction process with the objective of optimizing efficiency and treatment costs of flue gas purification by electron accelerators.
Moreover, soft-switching is implemented for these converters in most cases to reduce switching losses with an objective of improving efficiency (Xie et al. 2010; Jain and Ayyanar 2011; Oggier et al. 2011; Krismer and Kolar 2012).
Mathematical models and computation techniques have been developed for optimizing and simulating the operation of transport fleets in order to serve the customers demand with the objective of cost efficiency.
Considerable effort has been put into understanding EBPR, from community diversity (e.g. [ 3– 5]), to metabolic function (e.g. [ 2, 6]) and engineering (e.g. [ 7, 8]), with the objective of improving efficiency and stability.
The objectives of this study were: (i) to measure the technical and scale efficiency among a sample of public PHUs in Sierra Leone employing the DEA method; and (ii) to demonstrate how its results could be used in the pursuit of the public health objective of promoting efficiency in health facilities.
