A major acknowledgement should be made to the pioneering texts of Franks (1966, 1973), Smith, Pike and Murrill (1970), Luyben (1973), Robinson (1975), and Ramirez (1976) for inspiring our interest in digital simulation. The textbook of Russell and Denn (1972) also applied an excellent and disciplined approach to mass balancing, which we have attempted to follow. 

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry which is both broad in scope and requires a specialised and disciplined approach. Its applications extend to all parts of an industrialised society. ... 

The hierarchical model is closest to the traditional approach and meets the needs of a focused, disciplined approach, where molecules are drug-like, with a real possibility of passing some of the ADME criteria. The horizontal model is optimum for looking for exceptions to drug-like property rules and can build SAR streams much... 

This handbook will be brief and pragmatic where possible. Inevitably, this will lead to contentious selections in parts. Consistency of a disciplined approach, however, is deemed more expedient than always espousing total scientific rigour. 

When the concept of concurrent validation is embraced by an organization, it is important for everyone to support QA s use of it as a QA tool. The quality standards of each discipline are normally stressed because of the normal commercial pressures, but it is essential that overall QA not be relaxed. The validation format in general and concurrent validation in particular will allow the flexibility needed for the situation, yet, it also provides the vehicle for a disciplined approach to ensure that no unacceptable product will be released. 

The purpose of the Reactive Chemicals Program is to prevent uncontrolled chemical reactions, which have the potential to result in injury, property damage or environmental harm. This can only be achieved by having a thorough understanding of the chemistry and processes that we work with and a disciplined approach to operations and process changes. 

A disciplined approach must be sustained to maintain the integrity of configuration management. It can be tempting to relax configuration management just to release resources and reduce costs. Consequential problems that often arise include ... 

An independent and objective activity designed to add value and improve an organization s operations by helping an organization to accomplish its objectives by using a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes. 

The fact that packaging requires a searching mind and a disciplined approach to ensure that these many and often simple factors produce a logical and acceptable answer for both the company and the end user (patient). 

One ultimate purpose of a specification is an agreement document between purchaser and supplier. A provisional or outline specification is, however, essential, even when initial development samples are being surveyed, since it provides both a disciplined approach to the examination of materials and components and a record of exactly what was received, used, etc. A specification is usually documented under the following layout headings ... 

For each of these subsets we have further provided a checklist of reactor parameters that need to be examined. The choice of each item in the checklist is made on the basis of a wish list, set up right at the beginning of the reactor selection exercise. Figure 37 presents a summary of the reactor attributes and considerations along with a commonly used wish list. In the discussions we have stressed the point that a disciplined approach may unravel novel ways of improving reactor performance this has been demonstrated by means of several examples. 

This type of approach recognizes that each manufacturer, each product, each facility, each process is unique. Therefore the criteria that have to be met must also be unique. It places a demand on a thorough and exhaustive analysis of process and on what, how, and where controls and monitoring points are applied. Even without a payoff from parametric release, it affords a disciplined approach to the manufacture of sterile products. 

At a loss about what else to do in the face of this living legacy, the editors of a special multiracial issue oi Amerasia Journal go so far as to propose that an interdisciplinary approach would do the trick, thereby ascribing to the black-white binary yet another theoretical shortcoming, the stricture of a single-discipline approach (Houston and Williams 1997, xi). 

Systems engineering is a methodical, disciplined approach for the design, realization, technical management, operations, and retirement of a system. A system is a construct or collection of different elements that together produce results not obtainable by the elements alone (National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007). The elements, or parts, can include people, hardware, software, facilities, policies, and documents, that is, all things required to produce system-level results. The results include system-level qualities, properties. 

Disciplined Approach Necessary to Maintain Safety in the Workplace... 

Quality assurance is implemented through the definition and the realization of a quality assurance programme (QAP). The QAP is an integral part of the plant design and shall provide for a disciplined approach to all activities affecting quality, including verification that each task has been satisfactorily performed and that necessary corrective actions have been implemented. It shall also provide for production of documentary evidence to demonstrate that the required quality has been achieved. 

Quality assurance is essentially a systematic and documented method to ensure that the required conditions or levels of safety are consistently achieved. Any systematic evaluation and documentation of performance judged against an appropriate standard is a form of quality assurance. A disciplined approach to all activities affecting quality, including, where appropriate, specification and verification of satisfactory performance and/or implementation of appropriate corrective actions, will contribute to transport safety and provide evidence that the required quality has been achieved. 

Keeps costs down, improves business results, provides a disciplined approach to business planning, increases the ability to meet and exceed customers expectations. 

ISO 9000 is a quality assurance model that is made up of 20 generic quality system requirements or elements and a four-level integrated structure. It works on the premise that quality is achieved through a disciplined approach to documentation, traceability, and management of all company policies, procedures, work instructions, and records. This premise is actualized because ISO 9000... 

I just heard it again. A colleague of mine said that he has always taken the systems view with regard to system safety. I was once again surprised, shocked is probably a better word, that not everyone had that view. It reminded me that there remain varying views of the scope of system safety. The scope of the system safety discipline is broad, just like the industries that use the discipline. The system safety discipline has expanded well beyond the U.S. Department of Defense community and U.S. borders and, as such, its recognized discipline approach and broad scope are becoming better define. 

Currently, most decisions are either intuitive or are treated like financial projects. This method calls on top management for a more disciplined approach. This increases the complexity of the screening job but should produce a portfolio that makes the best use of scarce resources.
