Managing routines

Nevertheless the development of a broad spectrum of management routines for specific animal husbandry systems is one of the future challenges of organic farming. A number of examples are proposed by Vaarst (1997). 

Often, the manager sets up a periodic inspection schedule to aid in inventory control. In this modified visual inspection, the inventory manager routinely inspects designated inventory levels, e.g., on a daily or weekly basis, to determine whether an order should be placed. This routine examination of inventory minimizes the potential for stockouts and can potentially improve inventory control. This is a fixed-time reorder system, in which the quantity ordered might vary but the date of ordering remains the same. This is ideal for small to medium businesses for whom a prime vendor is the main supply source and the true volume of activity can be determined easily. 

Gravity separators need to be designed both to contain a defined oil spill size, as well as for managing routine process wastewater flows. Gravity oil separators for these apphcations should be designed for rise rate loadings to accommodate peak flows, if practical. Experience dictates rise rates in the range of 10 to 20 L/min per square meter of effective separator surface area. 

Substitutions will also be needed, as many of the currently used materials and management routines are so problematic from a sustainability perspective that they will be too expensive to safeguard within the constraints provided by the system conditions. Consequently, dematerializations will not be enough to reach sustainability. Examples of such needed substitutions include ... 

Sir, we re going to run out of net access channels at this rate," Walsh said. "Over three hundred datavises coming in now. Do you want to reprioritize the net management routines You have the authority. We d be able to re-establish our principle command channels if we shut down civilian data traffic."... 

Are assessment results communicated to senior management for their use in making informed determinations Do managers routinely use feedback tools, such as performance indicators, reviews, debriefs, and lessons learned ... 

No competent doctors would ever practice medicine like this, nor would any sane patient accept it if they did. Yet professors and consultants routinely prescribe such generic advice, and managers routinely accept such therapy, in the naive belief that if a particular course of action helped other companies to succeed, it ought to help their s, too. ...

Cost-benefit analysis is at the core of management decision making. And, the same process is used by each of us. When we consider the outlay of money for a desired benefit, we are making cost-benefit decisions. Managers routinely use cost-benefit analytical techniques when considering courses of actions and the alternatives available— particularly for capital expenditure proposals. 

The workplace inspection is documented to ensure a timely implementation of measures. As a minimum, this report should include a description of identified deviations and hazards and the measures that have been decided, who is responsible for implementation of measures and due date for action. The reports are distributed to those participating in the inspection and to those responsible for safety measures. Follow-up should preferably utilise established management routines. In some companies it is common to take action on the spot and to omit to document the measures. The formal reports from such inspections will not give an accurate picture of the effects of the inspections.
