Metric, requirements

Once the metrics program is in place, the system and process metrics require visibility to process owners, upper management, and stakeholders. Process owners require understanding of the metrics trends, issues, and associated risks. Stakeholders must work with the process owner to identify and propose process improvement opportunities. Leadership is accountable to understand the issues and associated risks and responsibly apply resources for remediation efforts. 

Defining the Metrics Eco-efficiency. As described earlier, the development of sustainability metrics requires one to first identify the key aspects that need to be managed and included in the metrics. Equally important, however, one must define how the metric is calculated. For example, when expressed as a... 

In this experiment we describe inter alia a special procedure of working up, particularly suitable for compounds that have a good water-solubility. After reaction with the carbonyl compound a mixture of THF and water is added with vigorous stirring. The amount of water used is about 3 to 4 times that stoichio-metrically required. This addition, which results in the formation of a fine suspension of Li(0H)-nH20, should not be carried out at temperatures below — 10 °C, since then part of the water may crystallize out. 

Many metrics require extra work and effort. This will be true for almost aU measures that do not Already exist in an organization. So if the challenge is new, the best measures will most likely also be new. 

All the enzymes contain ferrous iron. Ferrous ions are essential for the catalytic activity of butyrobetaine hydroxylase (259), proline-4- 254) and 3- 242, 243), hydroxylases, thymidine hydroxylase 260), lysine hydroxylase 261), trimethyllysine hydroxylase 247), thymine oxygenase 262—264), cephalosporin hydroxylase 249), and hydroxy-phenylpyruvate 265—267). In addition, the enzymes show a non-stoichio-metric requirement for ascorbic acid which is supposed to maintain the ion co-factor in the ferrous oxidation state (2, 242, 243, 254). Labelling studies with butyrobetaine hydroxylase 268), proline-4-hydroxylase 269), thymine oxygenase (270), cephalosporin hydroxylase (257) and hydroxy-phenylpyruvate hydroxylase (277) all indicate a common pattern of oxygen incorporation. One atom of oxygen becomes the new hydroxyl group while the other is located in one of the carboxylic acid groups of succinic acid.

Proper safety metrics requires the proper analysis of the collected data. The purpose of the data analysis is to make comparisons between the results and the goals or benchmarks. Significant trends or differences between the obtained results and the benchmarks should be identified. There are a number of statistical procedures that can be used to determine if there are any trends in the data or if the results meet what is anticipated. 

For the safety performance to improve in the workplace, interventions must be based upon sound information that begins with the measurement process. Proper measurement and collection of safety metrics requires employees to be motivated to keep abreast as to where the safety program stands with regard to the goals that have been set. Employees in the organization should be held accountable for collecting the necessary measurements for the metrics program. Measurement activities should be established to ensure validity and reliability of the data. Inconsistencies in the measurement will lead to invalid data, improper conclusions, and incorrect corrective action. 

Lithium-ion batteries compete against a number of emerging and established power generation and energy storage devices. In general, the metrics required of the devices are driven by whether the application is portable, transportable, or stationary. 

In practice, when there is a need to compare the different features of the object, the possibility of two different metrics requires their standardization. Hence, in the method of valuation, there is a mle of relative state consideration. 

Refer to Appendix V, Example Safety Management System Assessment and Action Plan for an example outline that provides the various activities that might be included in the assessment of a safety management system. It follows a strategy, measurement, treatment outline to establish how the assessment would be organized, the metrics required, and how hazards and associated risk would be treated. 

Fig. 1.32. The ultimate strength shown as a function of the high-deformation modulus for tetrafunctional PDMS networks containing a negligible number of dangling ends (o) and dangling ends introduced by using less than the stoichio-metrically required amount of end-linking agent ( ) [130]. In the latter case, a decrease in 2C corresponds to an increase in the number of dangling ends [130]. (Reproduced with permission copyright 1981, John Wiley Sons, Inc.)...

Generally, it is only possible to conduct a functional analysis as a top down approach since the function of a certain hardware element needs to be known first before the cause of failure can be derived. On the other hand, for the failure observation of sheer technical (realized) elements, such as components or structural elements, the failure of elements and also random hardware failures can be inferred from the characteristics of the elements. The failure effects can then be referred to as inductive analysis. However, as a result only the inductive analysis truly addresses the effects of random hardware failure. By a deductive approach only requirements for random hardware-failure could be elaborated so that required failure rates and related diagnostics could be specified. By adequate verifications and tests the fulfillment of given metric requirements could be shown. This will widely indicate a mix of inductive and deductive analysis, whereas the lower level is designed inductively and in the upper level the technical malfiinctional behaviour is described functionally, so that the consistency (see Figs. 4.35 and 4.36 analysis phase) could be assured. 

In general the architectural metrics could be considered as a process metric. The following activities are necessary to fulfill the metric requirements ... 

Defining the appropriate measurement (metrics) to track the progress of the project is as important as the process. This step determines the types of metrics required - business-related (costs, defects, etc.), hazard/risk related injury data or other types. The team must understand primary and secondary ways of monitoring improvements using the data.
