Communication internal

Companies use the Internet (or an intranet) to communicate within a company. One of the major problems a company faces is how to facilitate communication between locations, groups and even within the same group at the same location. All sizes of companies profit from this abihty although the larger multinational companies probably benefit the most. There is great benefit in sending communications, reports, questions, and notices to individuals in the company around the world any time of day, to any location, nearly instantly. Most individuals can access their e-mail accounts from home or on the road people are more accessible and thus able to respond to needs of colleagues in a more timely manner. 

An intranet provides the infrastructure to solve another long-term internal problem, that of easily searching and reuieving archived reports within a company. A frequent occurrence in industry is the reinventing the wheel because no one is

Telecommunications systems will include internal communications within the platforms (telephone, radio, walkie-talkie, air-ground-air, navigation, public address) and external systems (telephone, telex, fax, telemetry, VFIF radio, and possibly satellite links). These systems are designed to handle the day-to-day communications as well as emergency situations. 

A typical transputer architecture. The transputer (sometimes referred to as a computer on a chip) has four input/output links (0, 1, 2, 3) to other transputers, a channel for inputting/requesting data (event link), some built-in random-access memory, an interface to the main operating system (clock, boot, etc.), and an external memory interface. Internal communication is via a bus. 

However, optical fiber communications are not useful only for long-distance communication links. Fiber-optic data links are also used in a variety of short-distance systems, for example in computer—computer links and for internal communications on ships and aircraft. Figure 16 shows some possible appHcations for fiber-optic communications, with respect to length and bit rate. The common carrier appHcations, like telephone links. He to the upper right of the dashed line labeled 100 MHzkm. However, a wide variety of other lower performance appHcations, illustrated to the lower left of the dashed line, are in use or under development. 

In earlier years, to reach a remote area, where. separate telephone lines had not been laid it was normal practice to rttn them through the same poles as the HT power distribution lines (generally 11-33 kV). This was particularly true of internal communications of the electricity companies for ease of operation and to save costs and time. This commitnication was known as the magneto-telephone system. But the proximity of telephone lines to power lines adversely affected the performance of the telephone lines due to generation of overvoltages (Chapter 20) and eleetrical interferences (conductive and inductive interferences, discussed later) on the telephone lines by the power lines.. Some of these interferenees, particularly system harmonics, had the same frequency as the audio frequency of the telephone lines and alTected their audio quality. 

The language of the supplier notification requirements covers mixtures or trade name products that are sold or otherwise distributed. The "otherwise distributes" language applies to intra-company transfers. However, if the company has developed an internal communications procedure that alerts their other facilities to the presence and content of covered toxic chemicals in their products, then EPA would accept this. 

Formal internal communications newsletters, chairman s letters, bulletin boards, video conferences, staff meetings, etc. 

Informal internal communications memos, hallway meetings, drop-in visits, conference calls, training sessions, electronic mail, etc. 

If you have establi ed a schedule for PSM meetings, this can provide a tickler for updating internal communications. Othenwise, establish a timetable (e.g., monthly) for providing your internal sources" with current information about progress. 

For these reasons, in addition to executive communications, you should consider the advantages of other internal communications methods to gain participants buy-in. The installation process presents a natural opportunity in fact, employee communications should be a priority as you begin the roll-out. 

The specific internal communications methods you use will depend on your company s culture and resources. You may find it useful to revisit the discussion provided in Section 2.3.2 (page 28), which covers some general principles of effective communications that apply here as well. What s different is that now you are ... 

This means that while the process you undertake will be essentially the same as that discussed in Chapter 2, the results will be far more focused. If you have maintained internal communications about PSM up until now, more specific information will represent a natural evolution. 

The degree of that specificity depends on the number of sites and processes involved, as well as what resources are available to you. You should in any case consider internal communications in two distinct but related forms broad information applicable companywide, and information specific to a given...

The international community has a legitimate interest in the adequacy of national measures to apply effective physical security to avoid theft or seizure of nuclear material by unauthorized subnational individuals or groups. Assurance of this adequacy through IAEA monitoring under an international convention would be a desirable approach. 

Second, it is possible to establish an agreement that sets quantitative limits of emissions and allocates emission permits to firms (or States) but allows to trade among countries, in order to minimize abatement costs. The starting allocation of permits can be set through either an auction or a grandfather allocation. Under an auction, government (or the international community) sells the emission permits, whereas under the grandfather rule, the allocation of emission permits is based on historical records. 

Poor solubility in most common organic solvents represents an inherent problem in the synthesis and processing of many high molar mass fluoropolymers. In fact, CFCs and carbon dioxide are the best solvents for amorphous varieties of fluoropolymers. Due to the environmental problems associated with CFCs, the international community is seeking to replace them with more benign compounds such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons. However, the environmental problems which will be created by the use of these replacement compounds such as the accumulation of trifluoroacetic acid in the atmosphere clouds this issue [71], Carbon dioxide presents an ideal inert solvent to effect the polymerization of these types of highly fluorinated monomers and obviates the use of solvents that are being phased out because of environmental concerns.
