Efficiencies. 2.1 The Contractor shall recognise that the Commissioner is subject to annual efficiency saving targets and budget reductions. In formulating any requests for price increases in accordance with Clause 3 above, the Contractor shall apply similar efficiency savings.
Efficiencies. 1. The Union agrees to provide additional concessions in the annualized amount of $15 million (total and not “per bargaining unit”) in a manner more specifically described herein. The Union agrees to propose operational efficiencies, defined as reductions in costs and/ or generation of new revenue (including 50% of the amounts received through the SEIU/Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Initiative), with the goal of reaching an annualized savings in the amount of $15 million dollars for each year of this Agreement.
Efficiencies. Lucent will advise WinStar of any opportunities for efficiencies or adjustments in staffing for the Testing Facilities that would permit savings without sacrificing functionality. The Parties will work together to adjust the staffing levels as appropriate to support the design and implementation of the Network over the Term, with corresponding adustments in the billing to WinStar.
Efficiencies. Both the Department and the HFA will strive to reduce administrative burdens arising from their common work and eliminate any unnecessary duplication in areas such as data collection, analysis, reporting and sharing. The HFA will work with other agencies operating in a similar environment, to identify areas where better collaboration and cooperation will yield efficiencies and to examine the potential for maximising shared service delivery. The HFA will continue to engage with the Department / Agency Group established to progress the matter of shared services across the Department’s agencies.

Efficiencies. The efficiency plea is the most widely used justification in the case law of the jurisdictions under review. The plea should succeed if the conduct under review has greater pro-‐competitive than anti-‐competitive effects. This relevance of efficiencies is clearly acknowledged in Australia,1242 Canada,1243 Singapore,1244 South Africa1245 and the US.1246 However, the precise role of these efficiencies often remains unclear. Although an efficiency analysis conceptually calls for an effects analysis, I have not found cases on unilateral conduct in which the courts actually engage in a balancing test. This is perhaps understandable, as it is difficult for courts and regulators to provide a reliable quantification. The US Supreme Court already noted this problem in its 1949 Standard Oil ruling, suggesting that courts are ‘ill-‐suited’ to the task of weighing pro-‐ and anti-‐ competitive effects.1247 This is particularly the case for dynamic efficiencies, as the extent to which conduct contributes to innovation is inherently difficult to gauge.1248 More fundamentally, courts and regulators may be hesitant to decide potential conflicts between effects on allocative efficiency (welfare maximisation), productive efficiency (cost minimisation) and dynamic efficiency (innovation maximisation).1249 From a court’s perspective, there may not be a clear reason to favour one type of 1241 CCS guidelines, supra note 1117, at 4.4. 1242 Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 1990, supra note 1024. 1243 See e.g. the Canadian cases Canada Pipe, supra note 1075; and Nielsen, supra note 1059. 1244 SISTIC, supra note 1131. 1245 See e.g. Sections 8(c) and 8(d) of the SA Competition Act, and the South African Competition Tribunal rulings in Senwes (supra note 1150) and SAA I (supra note 1146).
Efficiencies. As the Council faces a £35 million budget gap, we asked the groups how they thought their schools could be more efficient in saving money. As part of the schools being more efficient and saving money, the students highlighted the need for increased recycling within their schools, using less paper, car sharing for teachers, and ensuring to turn off the lights after using the room. Electricity / solar panels “When we drive past schools in the night, the lights are always on. They should be on sensors.” “Automatic and timed electronics to save money.” “A lot of pupils prefer to work in the dark.” “We do have solar panels,” “Does the size of the school make a difference? There are loads of blocks.” “If we had solar panels on all of our block roofs, we’d need investment.” Other “It’s hard to make cuts from schools as they are important.” “Lower budgets are cutting certain recourses.” “There isn’t money to save.” “All agree schools should receive more money.” “Electric vehicles are good for the environment – we’ll all have to use them eventually.” “Cutting staff is not an option.” “Is there an expectation of schools recycling like businesses?” Printing “Signing in forms waste of time and money with printers and screens.” “Charges and limits to print, not able to print for classes”. Unnecessary spending / mis-spent funds “Spend too much on music services, instruments etc.” “Less trips for departments.” “Science money is mis-spent.” Equipment “6 Tv’s all just going through a few slides, waste of money when it comes to electricity costs. Maybe these could be used to advertise Council services like YEPS and the Coliseum”. “Donate stationary to save departments money.” “There are two tv’s that aren’t used in the Science block that just show the school logo.” “There’s lots of gymnastics equipment that doesn’t get used because of health and safety.” “A lot of money is spent on laptops and technology. If we encourage students to look after these things, it would save money.”
Efficiencies. In delivering the Works and Services L360 will work with economy and efficiency in mind. It is therefore desirable that L360 generates efficiencies within its first year but it is recognised that during its mobilisation period this may not realise. However, L360 will be required to deliver efficiency saving targets as agreed at the point of transfer of services and for the following years the approach will be as follows ; during the first annual review and in collaboration with Xxxxxxx 360 – LBH will focus on setting a target date by which Xxxxxxx 360 will be delivering services to LBH in line with the NHF rates. the following years will then focus on potentially delivering some services at below these rates in line with the external market Financial controls In delivering the service specification of works and services L360 is responsible for ensuring timely completion of services and maintaining a system of internal control that ensures that: expenditure is logged against jobs in a manner that enables the costs of repairs and works to be identified and monitored against budget stores are managed and controlled so that materials are used in accordance with the agreed specification of works and services and is appropriately certified third party invoices that are payable by L360 directly or via a recharge from LBH are certified to confirm that services have been provided in accordance with the specification. where works are not necessary but are proposed to be undertaken on the grounds of efficiency eg works that can be done in a cost effective manner are subject to agreement and approval from LBH Performance Monitoring, monitoring and review arrangements An effective Performance management framework is vital in the effective delivery of this arrangement and the requirements within it. To ensure that LBH objectives are met. The performance management framework and review of this arrangement are underpinned through the following arrangements ; Client / Provider - Terms of engagement procedure – [schedule xx] this procedure sets out the client/provider relationship and obligations to be followed by both parties – in particular this covers;
Efficiencies. 4.1 The Commissioner expects suppliers to work with the Constabulary to constantly improve their service and create efficiencies for the future. Therefore the Commissioner will conduct annual reviews to monitor progress on; Communication, Customer Satisfaction, Product Rationalisation, Environment, Equalities, Improvements to service, Innovation, Price and Quality standards. This review will not only focus on achievements made in these areas from the previous year, but also ideas and proposals for the following year. Both the supplier and an authorised officer from the Commissioner will sign off all reviews. Should there be an inflationary clause in a long-running contract, it is conditional on a successful efficiency and Improvement review. Sign off shall be by both parties and no payment will be made against the inflationary clause until after a successful review has taken place.
