Dow Fire and Explosion Index. The Dow Eire and Explosion Index (3) is a procedure usehil for determining the relative degree of hazard related to flammable and explosive materials. This Index form works essentially the same way as an income tax form. Penalties are provided for inventory, extended temperatures and pressures, reactivity, etc, and credits are appHed for fire protection systems, process control (qv), and material isolation. The complete procedure is capable of estimating a doUar amount for the maximum probable property damage and the business intermptionloss based on an empirical correlation provided with the Index. 

Average-Cost Basis for Inventory Either a simple average or a weighted average can be used to value inventory cost.

Tubular reactors often offer the greatest potential for inventory reduction. They are usually simple, have no moving parts, and a minimum number of joints and connections that can leak. Mass transfer is often the rate-limiting step in gas-liquid reactions. Novel reactor designs that increase mass transfer can reduce reactor size and may also improve process yields. 

A common solution, which satisfies both the inventory control and quality control, is to institute a stock requisition system. Authorization of requisitions may be given by a person s supervisor or can be provided via a work order. If someone has been authorized to carry out a particular job, this should authorize the person to requisition the items needed. Again for inventory control reasons, you may wish to impose a limit on such authority requiring the person to seek higher authority for items above a certain value. 

Costs Fixed costs are caused by the use of equipment for reactions and by changeovers, and variable costs are incurred for inventory. 

The total index is divided into Chemical and Process Inherent Safety Index. The previous is formed of subindices for reaction heats, flammability, explosiveness, toxicity, corrosiveness and chemical interaction. The latter is formed of subindices for inventory, process temperature, pressure and the safety of equipment and process structure. 

The calculations of the Inherent Safety Index (ISI) are made on the basis of the worst situation. The approach of the worst case describes the most risky situation that can appear. A low index value represents an inherently safer process. In the calculations the greatest sum of flammability, explosiveness and toxic exposure subindices is used. For inventory and process temperature and pressure the maximum expected values are used. The worst possible interaction between chemical substances or pieces of equipment and the worst process structure give the values of these subindices. 

The Process Inherent Safety Index expresses the inherent safety of the process itself including the equipment and operating parameters. The Index has been divided into subindices for inventory, temperature, pressure, equipment safety and safe process structure.

Transportation of succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol and other various raw materials is the same as for Bionolle. Starch and plasticizer are transported to Showa Denko Tatsuno Factory from domestic and overseas production plants. We derive various scenarios from actual transport information in this study, including distance, route, means of transport, and loading ratios. Fuel consumption and CO2 emission related to transportation are estimated based on these scenarios. As starch is assumed to be produced in the USA, we account for both sea transportation from the USA to Japan and land transportation from domestic ports to the Tatsuno Factory in this study. For inventory data per unit amount of transport during transportation, we refer to data from JEMAI LCA Ver. 1.1.6 [8] for land transportation and data from the literature [15] for sea transportation in particular, data from the literature [16] is also referred to for sea transportation distances. 

AIRCHIEF, short for the Air Clearing House for Inventories and Emission Factors. Such data are available on CD-ROM as well as on-line through the EPA Web site (see Appendix IV). In Europe, the Commission of the European Communities has published a handbook of emission factors as well (e.g., see CEC (1988, 1989, 1991), Mclnnes (1996), and Web site in Appendix IV). Emissions inventories and emission factors for Europe are also found in the volume edited by Fenger et al. (1998).

A single-number overall index characterizing the inherent safety of the overall process is generated by both proposed inherent safety indices. Process intensification will lower the value of the index (indicating an inherently safer process) because it will reduce the penalty for inventory. If the alternative process results in an increase in the inherent hazard due to other factors, the index will be useful in understanding the inherent safety characteristics of the different alternatives. The relative contributions of the various components of the index to the total value may also be useful in understanding process safety characteristics. Table 3 summarizes the application of this proposed inherent safety index to a number of alternative routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate. 

Non-conflicting and unambiguous accountabilities are key to success. Supply chain managers are often held responsible for inventory levels but are unable to influence production lot sizes, which are normally under the control of the production managers responsible for production costs. As lot size adversely affects inventory levels and production costs, this is a common example of conflicting and ambiguous accountabilities, where responsibilities are not backed up by con-...

Initial assessment — The physical quality of a sample should be checked when it is first submitted for inventory. This ensures that only high quality samples enter the library. 

You will work in the storage rooms to review and account for inventory. You will work in your office to deal with taxes, payroll and other managerial tasks. You will work behind a cash register to assist customers and, if you offer prepared foods, you will work in the food preparation area. You may even deliver prepared foods to people s homes. 

We call this high sensitivity of the recycle flowrates to small disturbances the snowball effect. We illustrate its occurrence in the simple example below, It is important to note that this is not a dynamic effect it is a steady-state phenomenon. But it does have dynamic implications for disturbance propagation and for inventory control. It has nothing to do with closed-loop stability. However, this does not imply that it is independent of the plant s control structure. On the contrary, the extent of the snowball effect is very strongly dependent upon the control structure used. 

Once we have fixed a flow in each recycle loop, we then determine what valve should be used to control each inventory variable. This is the material balance step in the Buckley procedure. Inventories include all liquid levels (except for surge volume in certain liquid recycle streams) and gas pressures. An inventory variable should typically be controlled with the manipulated variable that has the largest effect on it within that unit (Richardson rule). Because we have fixed a flow in each recycle loop, our choice of available valves has been reduced for inventory control in some units. Sometimes this actually eliminates the obvious choice for inventory control for that unit. This constraint forces us to look outside the immediate vicinity of the holdup we are considering.

The environmental agencies may be among the best suited for evaluating risk. Their expertise usually includes a sound knowledge of the particular features of the local environment, such as location of flood plains and water resources, and the liaairds of certain chemicals. They should be used to support tlie risk evalmiting effort. The local or state environmental agencies are also a source for inventory of hazards on industrial sites. Tliis information will serve the committee. 

A Sales Order Processing System that contains all relevant customer and inventory details to enable a sales order of the correct characteristics to be placed against the actual stock available to fully or partially satisfy the order. The characteristics of the contract between the company and each customer may differ greatly for example, some customers may only be licensed to receive a very limited subset of the total inventory held within the system, while others may be licensed to receive everything but a few specified inventory items available from the supply chain. In both cases, the system would be expected to contain functionality that allows each type of circumstance to be correctly set up to ensure that sales orders for onward wholesale suppliers are only raised for inventory that the supplier is licensed to hold.
