Advanced services

The new pharmacy contract (from April 2005) divides the activities that community pharmacies undertake into three tiers of service essential services, advanced services and enhanced services. The essential services provided by a community pharmacy are compulsory and are the minimum required of a contractor as part of the pharmacy contract. 

This part contains information on the payment of advanced services to pharmacy contractors. 

In the recent stage, external systems such as legacy systems are placed on the back end of the Web server and more advanced services can be provided. An Internet banking service is realized by this structure (Figure 4[c]).

It is apparent that when the need for customization is high, LSPs that are highly accomplished in providing advanced services can satisfy customer needs by creating sophisticated and individualized services. At the other extreme, customers with low customization needs may contract with LSPs that provide simple standard services.

Gas turbine-based power plants, particularly natural gas-fired cogeneration and combined-cycle faciUties, have proven to be highly rehable, efficient, and environmentally attractive. Advances in machine design, more efficient plant integration, and optimistic forecasts for the availabiUty of affordable natural gas worldwide have boosted the appeal of these systems for both base-load and peaking service.

The need for weU-trained technical service professionals is expected to continue as an essential aspect of the chemical industry, despite the phenomenal growth ia electronic methods of information storage, retrieval, and transmission. Advanced troubleshooting of complex customer processes and accelerated accurate product development and market introductions should continue to be principal elements of technical service personnel duties. Increased levels of integration, perhaps blurring the lines between suppHer and customer, may come to pass. There are already instances of personnel swapping between customers and suppHers for extended periods to allow cross-fertilization of ideas and provide more accurate perspectives for the companies involved in these efforts. Technical service and research personnel have been those persons most directly involved in such efforts. 

Construction is similar to that of other drum filters, except that vacuum is applied to the entire rotation. Before feeding slurry a precoat layer of filter aid or other suitable solids, 75 to 125 mm (3 to 5 in) thick, is apphed. The feed slurry is introduced and trapped in the outer surface of the precoat, where it is removed by a progressively advancing doctor knife which trims a thin layer of solids plus precoat (Fig. 18-126). The blade advances 0.05 to 0.2 mm (0.002 to 0.008 in) per revolution of the drum. When the precoat has been cut to a predefined minimum thickness, the filter is taken out of service, was ned, and freshly precoated. This turnaround time may be 1 to 3 h. 

The schedule should be set well in advance so that support services can provide the necessary personnel and supplies. 

This means that parts must be ordered in advance for the turnaround and other work must be planned so that the whole operation may proceed smoothly and without holdups that could have been foreseen. This usually means close collaboration with the manufacturer or consultant and the OEM (or specialty service shop) so that handling facilities, service men, parts, cleaning facilities, inspection facilities, chrome plating and/or metaliz-ing facilities, balancing facilities, and some cases even heat treatment facilities, are available and will be open for production at the proper time required. This is the planning, which must be done in detail before the shutdown with sufficient lead-time available in order to have replacement parts available at the job site.
