Activities design tasks

With respect to the nature of the tasks, we chose a developmental or a design task because we expected that such a behavioural environment (Gilbert, 2006) is closer to the lives of students. Besides, these tasks may offer opportimities for experimentation and hands-on activities in classrooms, when such tasks are meant as contexts for learning macro-micro thinking. 

The validation plan is a strategic document that should state what is to be done, the scope of approach, the schedule of validation activities, and tasks to be performed. The plan should also state who is responsible for performing each validation activity. The plan should be reviewed and approved by designated management.1... 

The P in SIPOC designates the process—the set of activities or tasks that transform inputs into outputs. To begin, identify the first and last tasks in the process, where it starts and stops. Specifying these steps helps to scope the project and clarify boundaries between the organization and its suppliers and customers. Next, identify the sequential steps between the first and last steps. Specify an action and an object in each box. 

The task net after migration is shown in Fig. 3.80. The control flow from the estimation task to the flowsheet design task is marked as behaviorally inconsistent (emphasized by red color). Both tasks are currently active, while the revised process definition prescribes a sequential control flow. This illustrates that migration does not necessarily result in a task net which does not contain inconsistencies. Migration can always be performed - even if inconsistencies persist. 

Simulation requires an enrichment of the work process model by quantitative information of different kind. Examples include the duration of certain activities or the number and type of tools allocated to a certain design task. Such information allows to investigate the time required to accomplish a part of the design process or to study the benefit of employing such tools. Such quantitative data are often hard to get with the desired accuracy in industrial practice. 

Last, but certainly not least, a design task schedule needs to be developed carefully to minimize the time required to develop a process design. Allocation of design activities should be proper such that the energy optimization work is done and completed in parallel with other process design work thus, no extra project time is required. 

Too often designers think of normal use and operation of equipment and they forget the tasks related to maintenance and repair. Designs that incorporate maintainability concepts will reduce errors during maintenance activities. Designing for maintainability will help prevent unnecessary damage to components because workers cannot see or reach into areas where they need to do work. They will reduce accidents and injuries resulting from maintenance and repair work. 

Software is often an integral part of MEDICAL DEVICE technology. Establishing the SAFETY and effectiveness of a MEDICAL DEVICE containing software requires knowledge of what the software is intended to do and demonstration that the use of the software fulfils those intentions without causing any unacceptable RISKS. This standard provides a framework of life cycle PROCESSES with ACTIVITIES and TASKS necessary for the safe design and maintenance of MEDICAL DEVICE SOFTWARE. This standard provides requirements for each life cycle PROCESS. 

Inq)rovement (HPI) have heai advocated for use in safety programs for a numher of years. Human performance is defined as a saies of behaviors carried out to accomplish specific task objectives. HPI enqthasizes principles and activities designed to reduce the potential for human oror. Many of these have been used in some form in many safety programs. But it is the underlying research and stmcture that differentiates an HPI approach from traditional safety. 

SECONDS can trace the task activation or task generation flow. This is especially useful when a designer wishes to trace all changes resulting from a particular task. 

The designed tasks of transport with changed parameters were calculated using the SW Flowl23D (Brezina 2012). The resulting concentrations (volume activities Bq/m ) were analysed and tasks where the change of an input parameter caused the strongest response, i.e. an increase of substance concentration (volume activity) on selected elements were found, afterwards. Similar elements to those of the basic task could be included ...
