Digitization has lowered the cost and increased the efficiency of video production, resulting in a surge in the amount of content available as well as the hardware needed to support digital production, distribution and archiving.
Best estimates of future global agricultural water consumption (including both rainfed and irrigated agriculture), are of an increase of about 19% by 2050, but this could be much higher if crop yields and the efficiency of agricultural production do not improve dramatically.
Clark, a Merck lifer who previously headed the company's manufacturing division, has focused initially on improving the efficiency of the company's production plants. (Under his plan, many of the job cuts will come from manufacturing, and five of Merck's 31 plants will be closed.) The goal, outlined on today's call, is to increase manufacturing efficiency, much as automakers like General Motors or computer makers like Dell have in the past.
Consuming the ethanol near the source of production would generate efficiency gains on both the exported ethanol and the imported oil.
His not-for-profit organization, Carbon Manna Unlimited, has developed a system of direct micro-payments to rural people who offset their carbon production through the use of high-efficiency stoves.
We believe in a strategy of more production, more efficiency, and more incentives for clean energy.
With paper-based systems you cannot have the types of efficiency we associate with Deming or the total production system.
Managers tout the Chery Production System, or CPS, which is modeled after the vaunted Toyota Production System, but the factory lacks the clockwork efficiency of a Toyota plant.
That production, efficiency, and reliability increased as a result of this change was anticipated, but was not the main reason that the companies changed their ways of doing business.
Managers tout the Chery Production System, or CPS, which is modeled after the vaunted Toyota (nyse: TM - news - people ) Production System, but the factory lacks the clockwork efficiency of a Toyota plant.
Most of the capital spending is on equipment that will improve production efficiency.
The report insists that, in hand with a combination of energy efficiency and fuel-switching measures, this growth in electricity production would be enough to supplant all fossil fuel use (coal, gas and oil), including that for transport and space-heating.
But to create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives.
That efficiency will be crucial if the US is to stay on the boundary of its production possibility frontier in the face of automatic cuts in federal spending that began last month.
With whole ownership of S-LCD, Samsung anticipates heightened flexibility, speed and efficiency in both panel production and business operations.
ENGADGET: Sony sells its stake in Samsung LCD team-up for $939 million
It also aims to accelerate the development and production of new cars with a focus on better designs, fuel-efficiency, safety and value for customers with the latest launches.
Many economists laud the market for its efficiency properties as free markets generally direct resources to their highest-valued ends while minimizing costs of production.
FORBES: The Greatest Thinker You've Never Read: Ludwig von Mises
First Solar executives are bullish about the cadmium telluride technology, naturally, and its chief technology officer, Raffi Garabedian, outlined a few of the big changes that the company will introduce to its production process to boost the efficiency.
FORBES: How First Solar Is Remaking Itself With New Tech And Leaders
At a Wednesday forum in Washington on electricity delivery, organized by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, a crowd of several hundred in a hotel ballroom mulled the big changes ahead when it comes to energy efficiency, production, transmission and regulation.
Chu, a 60-year-old Nobel prize winning physicist from Stanford University, came to Washington with a mandate from the president to increase the nation's production of clean, renewable power, make the electric grid more intelligent and improve overall energy efficiency.
