Frequency of deliveries

Other costs such as transportation may or may not vary with the number of orders. For example, a transportation manager, measured by costs for transportation, will want to get the cheap rates that go with sending full tmcks, referred to as truckload quantities. The full truck is the equivalent of a batch for this manager, and his measure is likely to be total transportation cost or even total supply chain cost of which transport costs are a portion. This measure could have a negative effect on customer service because the full tmck constraint can reduce the frequency of delivery. So, a local optimum overrides a higher goal — and perhaps results in lost business. 

Composite, in the 1980s and 1990s Multi-temperature regional centers and vehicles sharing of stock holding increased frequency of delivery to stores... 

One of the factors requiring improvement is service and this can be construed to include timing. This can relate not only to delivery timing but also reduction in lead time. When new processes become stabilized over long periods and the frequency of improvement reduces as more and more problems are resolved, you will be able to reduce lead time. 

Generally, inhaled glucocorticoids have few side effects, the appearance of which depends on the dose, the frequency of administration, and the delivery system used. The most common side effect is dysphonia (hoarseness), which affects approximately one third of treated patients. Oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush)... 

Traditionally, a common solution to the problem of matching relatively higher levels of technical support with lower chemical volumes for these smaller customers has been via a one- to three-year, fully inclusive product and services contract. Such a contract will specify the frequency of service visits to be made to the customer s site and the type of work to be carried out. It will also, perhaps, limit the maximum volumes of chemical treatments to be supplied during the contract lifetime, or perhaps designate the amount of chemicals required based on treating a certain annual volume of boiler FW. Contracts may include for the provision of chemical feed and control equipment and for the supply of labor for boiler cleaning, chemical addition, and drum removal services (drumless delivery). Product and services contract prices may some-... 

Educating the Patient and Family If lypressin or desmopressin is to be used in the form of a nasal spray or is to be instilled intranasally usingthe nasal tube delivery system, the nurse demonstrates the technique of instillation (see Fhtient and Family Teaching Checklist Self-Adnrinistering Nasal Vasopressin). The nurse includes illustrated patient instructions with the drug and reviews them with the patient. If possible, the nurse lias the patient demonstrate the technique of administration. The nurse should discuss the need to take the drug only as directed by the primary health care provider. The patient should not increase the dosage (ie, the number or frequency of sprays) unless advised to do so by the primary health care provider. 

Ergonovine and methylergonovine both increase the strength, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions and decrease the incidence of uterine bleeding. They are given after the delivery of the placenta and are used to prevent postpartum and postabortal hemorrhage caused by uterine atony (marked relaxation of the uterine muscle). 

Each solvent passes from its reservoir directly to a pump and from the pump to a mixing manifold. After mixing, the solvents pass to the sample valve and column. The pumps control the actual program and are usually driven by stepping motors. The volume delivery of each solvent is controlled by the speed of the respective pump. In turn, the speed of each motor is precisely determined by the frequency of its power supply which can be either generated by external oscillators or, if the chromatograph is computer controlled, directly from the computer itself. 

Plant operations are also concerned with the overall picture of shipping, transportation, and distribution of products to engender minimal costs. For example, the frequency of ordering, the method of scheduling production, and scheduling delivery are critical to maintaining a low-cost operation. 

Intracellular communication often proceeds in a pulsatile, rhythmic manner [126]. Moreover, an increasing number of hormones are found to be secreted in a pulsatile manner, and the physiological efficiency of these signals appears to be closely related to their frequency [126]. Based on this understanding, a number of classes of drug therapies have been shown to require a periodic, pulsatile regimen of delivery for efficacy or optimization [131], and several delivery strategies have been proposed to respond to this need [127-131].
