Budgets adequate

Budgets Was the safety effort adequately funded Did line and staff organizations have the money necessary to perform assigned tasks properly without taking shortcuts or using unsafe tools, equipment, or facilities Were budgets adequate to ensure that line and staff organizations were able to hire, train, and retain adequate numbers of qualified personnel Were projects funded adequately to ensure that necessary safety analyses and system safety efforts could be performed and that subcontractors were well qualified ...

Prices given are adequate for comparing alternatives. For budget purposes, actual, recent vendor quotation must be used due marketplace fluctuations in prices. 

In order to prevent incidents, a process plant must not only be well-designed, but also properly operated and maintained. To ensure that all safety aspects receive adequate priority, the commitment to safety from all levels of management is essential. In practice, conflicts of interest may arise between safety and other goals such as production demands and budgets. In these cases, the management attitude will be decisive. In reality, such a conflict of interests is only an apparent one because safety, efficiency, and product quality all depend on a reliable production facility with a low frequency of technical troubles and safety problems. 

Management commitment to support the fire protection program is necessary if fire protection is to be available when needed. The commitment includes ensuring adequate staffing, resources, and technical support is provided. While fire protection is included with new capital projects, sufficient resources to maintain these systems must be included in the facility s budget for maintenance. 

A qualified member of the management team should be responsible for managing the fire protection program and assuring that an adequate budget is provided for fire protection maintenance. The assignment of this responsibility may be dictated by the size of the facility and the staffing levels, for example ... 

Autoclaves provide reactors which can be used readily to acquire data from coal liquefaction studies but are less representative of likely commercial plant tyi reactors than small scale continuous bed-type reactors. Ideally comparisons between reactors are best made by carrying out experiments in various designs of reactors under similar reaction conditions, but, in order to cover the full range of designs adequately, a larger expenditure on equipment (beyond the budgets of most laboratories) would be necessary. However, steps can be taken to cover the...

The risk is that in the wake of your learning project you make less sustained and persistent effort to overcome the obstacles that the organization puts in your way. Because, for example, you do not have an adequate expenditure budget... 

One of the key concerns of analytical science is how good are the numbers produced . Even with an adequately developed, optimised and collaboratively tested method which has been carried out on qualified and calibrated equipment the question remains. Recently it has become fashionable to extend the concepts of the physical metrology into analytical measurements and to quantify confidence in terms of the much more negative uncertainty.It is based on the bottom-up principle or the so called error budget approach. This approach is based on the theory that if the variance contributions of all sources of error involved in analytical processes then it is possible to calculate the overall process... 

Available P was adequate but decreased in all except the synthetic fertiliser treatment. The average P budgets (kg P ha y ) were 3.8 for synthetic fertilisers only, -5.0 for synthetic fertilisers and manure, -S.7 for organic and -7.8 for biodynamic (Oehl et al. 2002). 

The schedules shown to the committee were simply lists of things that had to be done and the time estimated to complete each of them. Alternative paths that would be generated as decisions were made were not evident, nor were any time-related probabilities assigned. The schedules presented to the committee are extremely vulnerable to unforeseen or external events. Moreover, the committee was not provided with total project cost estimates, even of a conceptual or preliminary nature. Without these estimates, it is extremely difficult to evaluate engineering decisions and select the most cost-effective technologies. Based on the lack of documentation, the committee concluded that an adequate preproject plan for a modified baseline process at Pueblo may not exist. If this is true, the completion of the project on schedule and within budget is unlikely. 

The naive prehistoric (in the traceability sense) method devised long ago is quite appropriate for providing reliable quantitative results and should be selected as a suitable candidate for any certification exercise where it is applicable, on condition that the analytical chemists applying it realise the inherent limitations and pitfalls and make an adequate uncertainty budget. 

Quality control of laboratories depends on the availability of CRMs, round-robin studies, intercomparisons and proficiency tests between methods and between laboratories. Of special importance is a full knowledge of the complex analytical process and the painstaking pursuit of the true value by defining all sources of errors and the application of an adequate error source budget. The application of Poisson and Bayesian statistics could have some advantage. 

Recommendation 8-4. Because there are a number of similarities between the integrated gasification combined cycle process and the coal-to-hydrogen process, the committee endorses the continuation of both programs in tandem at budget levels that are determined to be adequate to meet the programs goals.
