Bus/Financial - Telecom(munications) / new finance law of the RTVE corporation
Spanish term or phrase: dimensionamiento
Cuando hablamos de la Comisión del Mercado de Telecomunicaciones, el órgano que ejerce el control sobre el cumplimiento de las obligaciones de servicio público en España, hay que recordar que el informe que emitió la misma sobre el anteproyecto de ley por petición del Gobierno fue negativo. afirmando que la “pérdida del contacto con el mercado publicitario va a eliminar el único referente de eficiencia de que dispone la Corporación RTVE en relación con su gestión y su dimensionamiento”.

I went for a literal translation as I wasn't really clear exactly what it was refering to. Although I suspect the meaning is probably 'organisational structure' as suggested below, the word 'dimensioning' is also used in all the examples given there. As this is a specialist text I think it is best to keep it open and the industry readers can decide what it refers to.

operational structure


Explanation:
It seems to specifically refer to structuring, as in structuring of services, supply chains, software systems, personel, etc. I found references to "dimensioning" in relation to all of these areas. Here's the clearest and most detailed reference:
Hope this helps, Kate.

The dimensioning of nursing staff according to nursing coordinators: concept, aim and use1
Luciana de Freitas CamposI; Marcia Regina Antonietto da Costa MeloII
IMS in Nursing, Professor Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri Federal University, UFVJM, Brazil, e-mail: lucaenf@ufvjm.edu.br
IIPhD Professor, University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto, College of Nursing, WHO Collaborating Center for Nursing Research Development, Brazil, e-mail: mracmelo@eerp.usp.br
In this reality, nursing human resources demand more professionals, more cases of dismissal, hours of training and improvement, among other costs(2), which permits the interference of professionals from other specialties in their dimensioning, potentially causing legal damage to nursing and institution. Thus, qualitative and quantitative aspects of nursing personnel have attracted the attention of direct nursing service managers, due to the implications of inadequate dimensioning for the outcomes of nursing care delivery to the clientele(3).
Dimensioning constitutes "the adaptation of personnel in quantitative and qualitative terms"(4). It can be also defined by its final purpose, which is "planning the quantity of employees per category, required in order to fulfill, directly or indirectly, the patients' nursing care needs"(5).
Yet, we agree that "it is through this client/nursing relation that we can have support to justify an ideal number of nursing personnel"(6).
Considering the work load at the units under study, dimensioning is "understood as a systematic process that bases planning and evaluation of the number and quality of nursing personnel needed to provide nursing care, to guarantee the previously established quality, to a group of patients/clients, according to the organization's philosophy and structure, as well as the singularity of each service"(7).
