	Rationalisation in the SANDF: The Next Challenge - African Security Review Vol 6 No 2, 1997
		Rationalisation is inevitably a painful and often traumatic experience for the individuals concerned.
		In terms of the rate at which the process of rationalisation is progressing the most important problem to overcome is the availability of a final force structure indicating the correct numbers and mustering of personnel needed to support the SANDF force design.
		Furthermore, due to the emotional sensitivity and the social effect of rationalisation, a vast number of role players are involved in the clarification of the processes which must be followed during rationalisation.

		As part of such a rationalisation of union coverage the members affected should be fully consulted and their existing and future rights and conditions properly protected.
		(vii) Rationalisation and restructuring of unions on terms that are not dictated or determined by employers and/or governments.
		1.4 The primary aim of the rationalisation process must be to reduce the number of unions in each industry and to develop structures that will enable unions to co-operate one with the other to expand areas of union coverage to those sections of the workforce currently not organised.

	Freehills - Article - Award rationalisation and the Award Review Taskforce — Implications for employers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The rationalisation process will affect the content of federal awards, the scope of their coverage, and a consolidation of existing wages and classification structures.
		Award-free employers: rationalisation may involve extending coverage of existing awards to employers who are not currently award covered—that is, imposing award coverage in circumstances where it does not currently exist.
		All employers should review the potential for the award rationalisation process to impact their existing terms and conditions or union coverage arrangements as soon as possible to assess whether it may be desirable to make a submission regarding their circumstances.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Rationalisation worries students, teachers - Sunday \| June 4, 2000
		Some students attending teachers' colleges find the Ministry of Education's rationalisation of the teacher's colleges to be highly "unfriendly" them, claiming that it will increase the cost of education.
		The rationalisation, which channels student-teachers to schools which offer specialised education instead of a wide range of subjects, has also not made some lecturers at these institutions happy because they see the move as a threat to their jobs.
		"Students will have to pay to live elsewhere or increase the costs of their transportation." The rationalisation programme, which starts in September, is aimed at easing the undersubscription of some courses, which had resulted in class sizes of four and five students when an ideal number is 15.

	Rationalisation of polling stations in Gulbarga - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Stating this to the press here on Friday, Deputy Commissioner Anjum Parvez stated that the rationalisation of the polling stations in the district was taken up after taking into account the guidelines of the State Election Commission on increasing the maximum limit of voters from 1,259 to 1,500 for a polling station.
		This was because of the decrease in the number of polling stations in urban areas due to the voters density, and clubbing booths that had less than 1,500 voters into a single unit.
		A comprehensive rationalisation of polling stations in the district was taken up based on the guidelines framed by the State Election Commission to bring the stations nearer to the voters in the villages.

	Chapter 8: South Africa's Demobilisation Part II, Rationalisation - Demobilisation and its Aftermath I, A Profile of ...
		The Personnel Rationalisation Strategy for the Department of Defence, officially approved early in 1999, details a comprehensive plan for the reduction of personnel to a strength of approximately 65 000-70 000, a reduction of 25 000-30 000 personnel.
		The conclusion of rationalisation is intended to produce a force broadly representative of South Africa’s population.
		In the context of rationalisation, or rightsizing, the department has suggested that the Defence Review, financial limitations and parliamentary approval will determine the final force design and the shape of the department with regard to personnel requirements.

	Goulburn-Murray Water - Asset Rationalisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Asset Rationalisation is generally achieved by first identifying assets that can be disposed and then investigating alternative options that provide the existing level of service.
		The advantage of Asset Rationalisation to G-MW and its customers is that the cost of an Asset Rationalisation proposal would be less than the cost of replacement or refurbishment of the assets involved, and is therefore cost effective.
		If there are benefits from the rationalisation process for both the landowner and G-MW, then the designer can incorporate the new arrangement as an alternative in the Whole Farm Plan.

	SDA National Office
		Many of the issues that arise in the rationalisation of the various federal awards applying to the retail industry will apply in relation to the various counterpart State awards and the rationalisation of the State awards should be considerably assisted by the work undertaken to rationalise the federal awards.
		Award rationalisation of these two awards would appear to be desirable in so far as it allows a clear delineation between the CFMEU Timberworker’s coverage of manufacturing and of timber processing, and the SDA’s coverage of the retail industry with its particular application to retailers of hardware and timber products.
		Once the rationale for these different rates of pay in the various company specific consent awards is understood it becomes apparent that there is only one baseline for the determination of a shop assistant workers rate of pay and that is the SEP determination of a 92.4% relativity with a metal fitter.

	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		Such rationalisations are quite understandable and human, but we should beware of seeing in them teaching on God or on his will.
		The most we can say is that, in his rationalisation, Paul shows how much he is still imbued with the Jewish social myth of male predominance.
		Instead of proclaiming the enormous doctrine ascribed to it ('woman cannot exercise authority in the Church because that is the way God created her'), it contains the rationalisation of a great apostle who could, at times, not refrain from indulging in the theological pastimes he had been used to as a rabbi.

	Rationalisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		For Max Weber, one of the major characteristics of modern society was the process of rationalisation.
		This involved institutions (such as work) and practices becoming increasingly well-organised and highly-efficient (or bureaucratic - a form of organisation involving distinct roles, a clear hierarchy of authority, consistent rules applied to decision-making, etc.).
		In addition, each supermarket is physically organised to "process people" as efficiently as possible - from the moment they come through the doors (to be greeted by fresh vegetables and the smell of freshly-baked bread) to the moment they leave.

	Desam urge cooperation in teachers rationalisation : 05th feb05 ~ E-Pao! Headlines
		Highlighting that rationalisation of teachers had become indispensable in addressing the teacher shortage problem faced by the student community, Desam called upon the teachers having political clout as well as Ministers to refrain from scuttling the process in the interest of the students.
		Charging that previous proposals to implement the teacher rationalisation process had been derailed due to political infringement and hobnobbing by some influential teachers, the student body said such ploy would not be tolerated this time around.
		The rationalisation process will not only pave the way for such helpless teachers to stay under the same roof as their families but could also provide a rare opportunity of enjoying home-cooked food, observed Desam.

	Rationalisation
		It would favour rationalisation of the regional specialties between the teaching hospitals, and assist coordination in inner London in general.
		The main role for a new London coordinating committee would seem to be rationalisation of the work of hospitals in central London, including the postgraduate ones; coordination of regional specialties; coordination of work in central London where patients frequently crossed regional boundaries; and the inter-relationship of service and teaching needs.
		In the meanwhile a group of Departmental officers were at work and after two years produced a plan for inner London hospitals which set out a pattern of district general hospitals thought appropriate for the new health authorities.

	Financial Express: Duty rationalisation to aid electrical-part companies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Mumbai, Mar 3: The electrical-equipment industry will become competitive with the rationalisation of the duty structure in the budget.
		He hoped that the Government would eventually introduce a single rate of excise for the electrical industry.The industry has also welcomed the 5 per cent customs duty for equipment imported (under project imports), which includes the once-exempt fertiliser projects.
		The rationalisation has, however, provided a level-playing field in many cases, he said, adding that the full impact of the budget on the industry is yet to be analysed.At the same time, in case the product is sold under the deemed export category, getting this refunded has been a nuisance, said Emco Transformers' G Venkatraman.

	JUSTICE LAWS RATIONALISATION BILL 1996 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Justice Laws Rationalisation Bill, 1996, which was unanimously approved by the National Assembly on 7 March 1996, provides for the rationalisation of 775 laws by extending the scope of one uniform set of laws so as to be applicable throughout the national territory, and repealing those which would consequently be redundant.
		The Department of Justice Legislation Division in consultation with the Rationalisation Committee (who represent all the former areas) therefore had to draft a single act in order to bring about legal certainty and uniform laws regarding the administration of justice.
		However, the end result is the Justice Laws Rationalisation Bill, 1996 which was passed with acclamation and thanks to the Department by the National Assembly.
