Distribution centres emphasize a faster turnover (or throughput) of goods.
Valencia and Bilbau seaports needs to reduce fixed assets and the amount of labour by 15.25 % and 31.66 % respectively, and increase ships handled by 69.86 % and 8.94 %, while maintaining the same level of turnover and cargo throughput.
Sines seaport needs to reduce fixed assets by 60.81 %, the amount of labour by 34.91 % and increase ship handled by 480.61 %, while maintaining the same level of turnover and cargo throughput.
This involves increased bed turnover and patient throughput and the more and more complex patterns of transfer of patients within the healthcare network including teaching and non teaching hospitals, long term care facilities, nursing homes, home care and other alternative healthcare settings [ 4].
Table 3 details the coefficient of determination (R2) values showing how the proportion of variation in the dependent variables turnover, ships handled and cargo throughput explained by the regression model are 0.943, 0.880, and 0.740 respectively.
As the significance value is less than 0.05, the variables labour (No) and fixed asset generate a significant and unique contribution towards predicting the dependent variables (turnover, ships handled, and cargo throughput).
We had felt, prior to commencing the study, that the accident and emergency department would be the most likely area to produce prescribing errors as it has a high throughput, a rapid turnover of patients and is generally staffed by the more junior doctors in the department.
CXRAY, though expensive at the initial installment, may improve TB case finding due to its short turnover time and high throughput [ 18].
Lower sample volume requirements and reduced user intervention time compared to the manual instruments have improved turnover of calorimetry experiments in a high-throughput format where 25 or more runs can be conducted per day.
Hence, when comparing cargo throughput, the number of ships handled with turnover, net income and market share, all seaports are efficient.
