Budgeting system operations budgets

How does the budget system operate and what are its time frames (fiscal year, planning) ... 

Flare Systems. There is a good chance that the operating company will not have anyone experienced in flare system design. For feasibility cost estimates, rough estimates can be made by comparison with existing plants or a vendor can be contacted for budget cost estimates for the flare stacks and associated knockout drum, burner tip, igniter, and molecular seal. 

The second option considered was use of interception wells. One- or two-pump wells could be constructed at calculated spacings to create a hydraulic trough parallel to the canal to intercept the product. This design was considered more acceptable to the safety officer and the facility engineer, but was rejected by the maintenance foreperson because of the relative complexity of the operation system. The number of submersible pumps and sophisticated electronic controls would have required employment (or training) of technical specialists beyond the cost budgeted under normal operations. 

Computers were first used in laboratories to calculate results and generate reports, often from an individual instrument. As automated analysers were developed, so the level of computerization increased and computers now play a major role in the modem laboratory. They are associated with both the analytical and organizational aspects and the term Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is often used to describe this overall function. Such systems are available that link the various operations associated with the production of a validated test result, from the receipt of the sample to the electronic transmission of the report to the initiator of the request, who may be at a site removed from the laboratory. Other uses include stock control, human resource management and budgets. 

Unfortunately these devices are quite sophisticated and expensive and they have not been used for behaviour research. In order to assess the quality of movements and human expression we developed a system which can be used even in labs with a low budget. We dispensed with real time operation capabilities and turned to the analysis of digitised video. These procedure is called Automatic Movie Analysis (AMA). The advantages are clear it is possible to repeat any type of analysis and control for artefacts. 

Portable systems must operate on a portable power source. Often this simply means batteries. When heating becomes a part of the operating sequence, batteries can be consumed quickly. A well-defined energy budget is necessary early in the design process. 

In Japan, there is a project aimed at capturing the considerable volume of hydrogen gas which can be obtained as a by-product steel production. R D will focus on the purification process of fuel from coke oven gas to an acceptable level for fuel cell utilisation. METI, the Japan Research and Development Centre for Metals and Nippon Steel are working on the project with a 2003 budget allocation of 549 million. Japan also operates the 4C/.f project which aimsto develop an optimum coal gasifier for fuel cells and the establishment of gas clean-up system for purification of coal gas to the acceptable level for utilisation for MCFC and SOFC. The budget allocations for 2000-2003 total 4.6 billion. 

Figure 3.1—Schematic of an HPLC system and example of a modular commercial HPLC. A modular system allows users to tailor the instrument to their needs and budget. The HP 1100 chromatograph equipped with an autosampler and a mass detector that allows continuous operation is shown (reproduced by permission of Agilent Technologies). Regulation of the temperature of the column greatly improves the reproducibility of the separation.

There are existing, depleted field, natural gas storage facilities at Karadagh and at Kalmas. Both facilities require significant investment to operate at their full potential. Studies have been conducted on these systems, and budget costs developed. 

A contractor company represented in the DQO process by the project manager, the chemist, and the statistician will conduct project planning. The contractor company will provide the necessary resources and perform the work. The project budget and schedule are negotiable. A consulting company represented in the DQO process by the project manager and the chemist will perform the work the consultant will provide personnel for the operation of the treatment system. The project has a limited budget and will last for two years. 

Describe the similarities and differences in the operational budgets prepared by pharmaceutical manufacturers, health system pharmacies offering value-added services, community pharmacies selling merchandise, and nonprofit pharmacy organizations. 

The master budget, the principal output of a budgeting system, is a comprehensive profit plan that ties together all phases of a pharmacy s operations. The master budget consists of many separate budgets, or schedules, that are interdependent. Figure 18-1 portrays these interrelationships in a flowchart. 

The budget is a key tool for planning, control, and decision making in virtually every organization. Budgeting systems are used to force planning, to facilitate communication and coordination, to allocate resources, to control profit and operations, and to evaluate performance and provide incentives. Various types of budgets are used to accomplish these objectives.
