Case histories management practices

This book emphasizes in-depth presentation of environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories, effluent standards, and future trends for the process industry, and in-depth presentation of methodologies, technologies, alternatives, regional effects, and global effects of important pollution control practices that may be applied to the industry. This book covers new subjects as much as possible. 

The term "audit is associated with a particular connotation in healthcare, namely clinical audit and refers to the review of case histories of patients against the benchmark of current best practice. The clinical audit was proposed as a tool to improve clinical practice and a recent study indicates that it can do so, though the effects are modest. A more general role for audit, however, is that it can be used as part of the wider management exercise of benchmarking of performance with the use of relevant performance indicators against the performance of peers. 

If you could only have a single book source on chemical process safety and could afford it, it would be this comprehensive epic 3-volume masterpiece. It is without a doubt the premier source of practical, theoretical, and statistical process safety reference material. It also includes pertinent legislative information and case histories. Every aspect of process safety is covered within the 3776 pages of valuable facts. The information is useful to process safety engineeis, engineers in the process industries, managers, insitrance professionals, consultants, leseaiehers, and students. 

Experience to date indicates that if there is adequate characterization of material properties (in particular the cure kinetics response) and the HTC boundary conditions, then the prediction of thermal history and consequent degree of cure evolution is sufficient for most practical purposes. Currently, the biggest impediments to further adoption of process simulation for thermal management are materials characterization costs (which are one-off) and cost-effective boundary condition characterization, particularly for the case of process variations and deviations such as random positioning of tools in autoclaves and similar uncontrolled practical issues.
