Inventory requirements

The demand for uranium ia the commercial sector is primarily determined by the consumption and inventory requirements of nuclear power reactors. In March 1997, there were 433 nuclear power plants operating worldwide with a combined capacity of about 345 GWe (net gigawatts electric)...

To compile the emission inventory requires a determination of the number and types of units of interest in the study area. It would be of interest, for example, to know the number of automobiles in the area and the number of kilometers each was driven per year. This figure would require considerable time and expense to obtain. Instead, it can be closely approximated by determining the liters of gasoline sold in the area during the year. Since a tax is collected on all gasoline sold for highway use, these figures can be obtained from the tax collection office. 

We have a U.S. sytem which could satisfactorily resolve the conflict. I propose that we take the approach of permitting confidentiality claims for the identity of an existing substance, if they can be justified to the national authority, such as a ministry of the environment, which will consider whether confidentiality reasons are sufficient to merit excepting that item from inventory requirements. 

Drug D may be produced in both 1000- and 2000-gal batches to meet inventory requirements. Major equipment and operator instructions are the same regardless of batch size. The only difference is the amount of each ingredient charged to the make tank. With a formulation such as this, there is little likelihood that batch size is an important process variable. Nevertheless, we will be conservative and treat each size batch as a unique process. An alternative strategy would be to validate the 2000-gal process and demonstrate for the 1000-gal batch the adequacy of mixing, using, for instance, assay data. 

If a fixed-cost charge to account for higher overhead costs, inventory requirements, etc. is to be charged for every product-plant allocation, equation (3.89) has to be added to the model and the resulting cost position has to be included in the objective function. 

The objective of order and demand management is to forecast future sales as precisely as possible, manage customer orders from entry to delivery, and consolidate forecast and orders with supply chain inventory requirements in order to generate a holistic demand plan for purchasing, production, and distribution planning. 

Many of the design principles of a hydride tank also hold for a hydride compressor. It must be an effective heat exchanger. The more effective the heat exchange, the shorter is the cycle time and consequently the smaller the hydride inventory required. Ideally, the hydride should have a high slope to the Van t Hoff plot to produce maximum compression with minimum temperature excursion. Beds of different hydrides can be coupled in series to provide staged compression and thus achieve very high overall compression ratios with modest temperatures. The ability to tailor hydrides, as shown earlier, is very helpful to compressor optimization for specific applications (i.e., available heat sources, H2 input pressure, and desired output pressure). 

One of the key chemical problems associated with lithium in fusion reactors is extraction of the tritium that has been either generated in or trapped by lithium. A figure of merit for tritium extraction is the blanket tritium inventory. Very large inventories require excessive start-up inventory and are a potentially large radioactive effluent in the event of a catastrophic accident. 

The GHS is not intended to harmonize risk assessment procedures or risk management decisions (such as establishment of a permissible exposure limit for employee exposure), which generally require some risk assessment in addition to hazard classification. In addition, chemical inventory requirements in various countries are not related to the GHS...

An operating pharmacy must conduct a biennial inventory (every 2 years) after the initial inventory. The biennial inventory requires the same information as the initial inventory. The inventory may be taken at any time within the 2-year period from the initial inventory or previous inventory provided it is within the 2-year time period not after. The biennial inventory is not sent to the DEA bnt is maintained at the registrant s location for 2 years for copying and inspection by the DEA.

The penalty for a variable 13 violation is capped at the amount of a Circumstance Level 3, Significant Extent violation, per countd It is important to note that 12 and 13 penalties are in addition to penalties for the underlying violation. For example, if a substance was imported with a positive certification, but should have been on the TSCA Inventory and was not, the EPA may impose both penalties for the incorrect certification and for the violation of the Inventory requirements. 

To demonstrate the concept, consider the seemingly simple requirement of TSCA that only chemicals on the TSCA Inventory, or that are exempt from the requirements of being on the TSCA Inventory, can be manufactured, processed, used in, or imported into, the United States. If a chemical is not otherwise exempt from the TSCA Inventory requirements, and is not on the TSCA Inventory, a premanufacture notification must be filed prior to introducing it into commerce. The task here is to identify those business processes in the company where new chemicals can enter the company, and then decide how best to control those entry points to ensure no new chemicals are...
