Paper Abstract
The paper deals with the global approach in place at ESO to optimize observing efficiency at the VLT. It involves not only the telescopes and their associated instrumentation, but as a mater of fact the whole observing process from proposals to data distribution. The ten main avenues pursued to reach that goal are presented, and early experience at Paranal Observatory reported. The need for continuous renewal of instrument complements at large telescope facilities is stressed.
