Good practice targets

It may well be the case that the SIL assessment indicates a probability or rate of failure less than that indicated for SIL 1. In this case the system may be described as not safety-related in the sense of the Standard. However, since the qualitative requirements of SIL 1 are little more than established engineering practice they should be regarded as a good practice target. 

As a guide for future R D, good practice targets for enviromnentally advantageous bio-based products could be very useful. Based on the results presented in the preceding sections, a first attempt is made here to specify such targets. It is recommended that, relative to their petrochemical counterparts, biopolymers should... 

A good practice target will also have to be specified for land use, i.e. in terms of GJ energy saved per ha land cultivated. In parallel to these environmental targets, cost reduction must continue to be a priority. 

To summarize, the available LCA studies and environmental assessments strongly support the further development of biopolymers. Careful monitoring of the various environmental impacts continues to be necessary both for decision makers in companies and in policy. If combined with good-practice targets, this may accelerate and focus the ongoing product and process innovation. For some materials, the environmental benefits achieved are substantial already today. In many other cases the potentials are very promising and need to be exploited. 

The next action is to estimate the separation targets and allocate the components in products. For the assessment of a separation a good practice is by setting up a recovery matrix as shown in Table 3.6. This expresses the split of a component between feed and products. Note that this information is available in Aspen Plus when simulating separators. 

The follow-up should be focused on the possible complications and clinical outcome (Table 4.3). In the acute and immediate post-procedural phase, special attention should be directed to the early detection of sequelae of non-target embolization, which can often result in major complications. It is a good practice to routinely conduct a telephone interview with the patient no later than a week after the procedure. Modern interventionists are clinical providers and an interventional clinic followup at an appropriate period of time following a major embolization procedure is not an option but a required minimal standard of practice. 

As outliers as such are laboratories that must be scrutinized and reasons for their poor performance understood, it is not good practice to remove them from consideration as happens in a method performance study. Unless there is a target mean and target measurement uncertainty (standard deviation) against which the results of all laboratories are assessed, the organizers must make a decision as to the actions to be taken with results that appear to be outlying. There are two approaches. First, outlier tests can be applied such as Cochran s test for laboratory variances (if... 

The operationalization of the to-be concept describes the development of IT based solutions to enhance supply chain management. The operationalization depends on the results of the as-is analysis and the developed to-be concept. The operationalization has to consider good practice of software development and is often a trade-off of functionalities, timeliness of development and costs. To achieve an embedded solution, the prototype development has to follow an iterative approach with permanent feedback from experts of the targeted field. Early user involvement and experiments and pilot studies are critical factors for successful development. 

Having established a SIL target it is insufficient merely to assess that the design will meet the Maximum Tolerable Risk target. It is necessary to establish whether further improvements are justified and thus the principle of ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) is called for as good practice. In the UK this is also arguably necessary in order to meet safety legislation ( all that is reasonably practicable is called for in the Health Safety at Work Act 1974). 

Robust labor market intelligence An evidence-based approach, building on what has proved to be good practice in international experience is instrumental in designing a similar measure. Business surveys will allow fOT more responsive and targeted assistance...
