Long-term scheduling

The long-term scheduling is basically a material resources planning (MRP) activity involving the following ... 

In conclusion, contraception therapies with vaginal rings present excellent efficacy with little risk of side effects and appear to be as effective as oral contraception and IUD, in terms of pregnancy prevention [42]. Moreover, rings are characterized by important benefits like ease of use, long-term schedule, and user-controlled application. These versatile drug delivery systems appear to be safe, effective, and acceptable. 

The synchrotron should not be seen as a replacement for facilities in the home laboratory but as a means for meeting technically challenging data collection problems. Of course, in the absence of any home X-ray facilities, the central facility can be used but this is not terribly efficient because of the necessity of long-term scheduling of many users. Hence, characterisation of samples (e.g. of heavy atom derivatives) should be done at home unless the project is entirely reliant on the SR source in this category are many virus studies and ribosome crystallography as well as small crystal projects. 

Master production schedule A long-term schedule created and maintained by enterprise planning systems that defines quantities of particular products to be produced in particular time frames based on customer demands, manufacturing capacity, and resource availability. 

In multiprogramming systems such as large mainframes and servers, a high-level scheduler (sometimes called a long-term scheduler) ensures that a system s integrity is not compromised by being swamped with requests for work. As with a busy telephone exchange, when capacity is reached, further requests are rejected or queued to wait until currently active work completes and more capacity becomes available. 

Condition assessment of aU pipelines in a system may take years because of operational constraints, logistical issues, and cost. It is therefore important to determine priority, sequence, and long-term schedules for pipeline inspection. These decisions are usually driven by potential consequences of failure and perceived pipeline condition based on the history of performance and other pipeline risk factors. There are two important components in determining the risk associated with a pipeline and therefore the pipeline criticality and inspection priority (1) the likelihood of pipe failure and (2) the consequence of failure, should it occur on a given pipeline (Zarghamee et al., 2012).
