Proposed method for comparative integrated manufacturing efficiency will offer resource-efficient strategies for the creation and optimization of processes and technology applications.
As a result, energy- and resource-efficient strategies in the metal shaping technology domain need to be identified urgently.
An example of a resource efficient material strategy would be if a car manufacturer redesigned their production process so that each car it produced was made of less material.
The most important policy strategy at the European level promoting resource efficiency is the Commission's Flagship Initiative "A resource-efficient Europe" (European Commission 2011b) as well as the subsequent "Roadmap to a resource-efficient Europe" (European Commission 2011c), both part of the implementation of the "Europe 2020" strategy.
It is resource-efficient, light-maintenance and inexpensive.
Commercial libraries have clearly improved compared to the early days of combinatorial chemistry and HTS, but there is still room for improvement in the design of compounds for more resource efficient screening strategies.
To explore the large space of microstructures (reflecting a variety of grain shape, size, and orientation distributions) within the practical constraints of computational resources, a more efficient strategy is required.
With this kind of regulation, some brands with limited resources and whose most efficient strategy might be to simply communicate the benefit of their products to people will be forced into less effective marketing that may, in fact, make the world a better place, but does not help the brand sell more product.
Just like the "conventional wisdom" view [ 26, 27] of pathogens inevitably evolving towards mutualism, also the view of maximum virulence being the most efficient strategy to draw resources from the host, seems overly simplified [ 10, 28, 29].
In this scenario, investing resources in reproduction rather than growth represents the most efficient strategy to improve individual fitness.
