Implementation case study system development

These references recommend a separation of roles and responsibilities. One team will be responsible for the implementation of the system (development, verification, and validation), while another will be responsible for demonstrating the safety of the system (safety studies, safety case, and analysis of work completeness). 

In chapter 1, Profs. Cramer and Truhlar provide an overview of the current status of continuum models of solvation. They examine available continuum models and computational techniques implementing such models for both electrostatic and non-electrostatic components of the free energy of solvation. They then consider a number of case studies with particular focus on the prediction of heterocyclic tautomeric equilibria. In the discussion of the latter they focus attention on the subtleties of actual chemical systems and some of the danger in applying continuum models uncritically. They hope the reader will emerge with a balanced appreciation of the power and limitations of these methods. In the last section they offer a brief overview of methods to extend continuum solvation modeling to account for dynamic effects in spectroscopy and kinetics. Their conclusion is that there has been tremendous progress in the development and practical implementation of useful continuum models in the last five years. These techniques are now poised to allow quantum chemistry to have the same revolutionary impact on condensed-phase chemistry as the last 25 years have witnessed for gas-phase chemistry. 

Stakeholders should create a communications strategy on chemicals in the Asian region. Case studies from Europe in which lessons have been learned on chemicals policy may be very useful to Asian stakeholders. It should be noted that some Northeast Asian countries have developed and implemented a national pollutant release and transfer register (PRTR) system, which is considered an important initial step towards risk-based chemicals management. Meanwhile, policy champions should be identified to push the chemicals agenda within ASEAN, especially among businesses and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). 

On a project the size of the case study, the system could be implemented manually by the project team and should not require more than one, two at the most, work days every two weeks. Larger projects could justify a dedicated full time person who could also collect data and develop correlations for future use as well as prepare the regular project reports. 

The implementation of the full CACSS project is a major effort, requiring quite a number of man-years. Therefore, it was decided to first develop a useful subset of the system. The structural elucidation of polycrystalline material was chosen, because this task can be well separated and because this subset would be very useful to us now. Further, this smaller project will prove the feasibility of the overall project. In this respect, it can be considered as a case study for the full CACSS system. The project has been christened NUT, after the Egyptian goddess of the sky. 

A case study was performed in one of the automotive components manufacturers in Malaysia. This company selected was based on its achievement as a TPS model company awarded by Malaysia Japan automotive industries cooperatiOTi (MAJAICO) in year 2007. MAJAICO is a 5-year project from 2006 until 2011 initiated under the Malaysia Japan economic partnership agreement (MJEPA) to develop and improve the Malaysian automotive industry to become more competitive as global automotive players. The main function of MAJAICO is to introduce continuous improvement activities in manufacturing companies mainly through total implementation of lean manufacturing. Under MAJAICO project, TPS has known as lean production system (LPS) where the activities have been conducted by the Japanese experts and local experts from perusahaan otomobil nasional sendirian berhad (PROTON) and pemsahaan otomobil kedua sendirian berhad (PERODUA).

During the project described in this case study an incremental approach has been chosen. Several increments have been released to selected customers before the product was complete. This has the advantage that customers can already use the system, and give early feedback to the development department. This information can lead to altered or new requirements which can immediately be implemented in the current project.
