Strategic objectives

To fulfil the above objectives, strategic mentoring is required -i.e. it becomes an integral part of business strategy. It focuses on... 

Planning. Through planning, technology managers estabUsh objectives, develop the rationale for these objectives, and estimate the resources required over time to succeed at the strategic business, R D organizational, and project levels. 

The thermodynamics and physical properties of the mixture to be separated are examined. VLE nodes and saddles, LLE binodal curves, etc, are labeled. Critical features and compositions of interest are identified. A stream is selected from the source Hst. This stream is either identified as meeting all the composition objectives of a destination, or else as in need of further processing. Once an opportunistic or strategic operation is selected and incorporated into the flow sheet, any new sources or destinations are added to the respective Hsts. If a strategic separation for dealing with a particular critical feature has been implemented, then that critical feature is no longer of concern. Alternatively, additional critical features may arise through the addition of new components such as a MSA. The process is repeated until the source Hst is empty and all destination specifications have been satisfied. 

The management review to monitor strategic quality objectives and the performance of the system... 

The objectives for quality control should relate to the standards you wish to maintain or to prevent from deteriorating. At the corporate level these objectives will address strategic issues such as safety and reliability or customer care. Although you will be striving... 

There is also a supplementary requirement in clause 4.1.3.2 for the management review to include the monitoring of strategic quality objectives and the regular reporting and evaluation of the cost of poor quality. 

At the strategic level, boiler water treatment practice is essentially the planned, actioned, and documented management of the waterside of pre-boiler, boiler, and post-boiler plant equipment and systems. A key objective is to identify, obtain, and maintain operational and economic benefits for the plant owners, including maintaining the cleanliness and structural integrity of the boiler, its various water-steam cycle auxiliaries, and other components for a specified (long-term) period and to some quantifiable standard. 

The statement of strategic objectives and long-range plans. 

One can identify two major categories of uncertainty in EIA data (scientific) uncertainty inherited in input data (e.g., incomplete or irrelevant baseline information, project characteristics, the misidentification of sources of impacts, as well as secondary, and cumulative impacts) and in impact prediction based on these data (lack of scientific evidence on the nature of affected objects and impacts, the misidentification of source-pathway-receptor relationships, model errors, misuse of proxy data from the analogous contexts) and decision (societal) uncertainty resulting from, e.g., inadequate scoping of impacts, imperfection of impact evaluation (e.g., insufficient provisions for public participation), human factor in formal decision-making (e.g., subjectivity, bias, any kind of pressure on a decision-maker), lack of strategic plans and policies and possible implications of nearby developments (Demidova, 2002). 

Procurement covers all company and/or market-oriented activities that have the purpose to make objects available to the company that are required but not produced (Large 2000, p. 2). Other terms found in the context of procurement are strategic sourcing, purchasing, supply management and/or supplier relationship management. 

In analogy to the demand side, procurement contracts are fixed by quantity and price with the objective to ensure a basis volume of raw materials. Spot procurement supports company s flexibility requirements and the company can decide the spot procurement quantity with certain flexibility around the offered quantity. Price levels for contracts and spot business differ and are volatile in each period. Typically, companies operate with few key strategic suppliers for a respective product or raw material. Therefore, price-quantity models like in sales planning are less applicable. More often is the case that specifically commodity-type raw materials are procured on many-to-many exchanges, which is out of the scope in our case as described in section 3.2.6. If products are supplied by internal business units, transfer prices are applied following the contract procurement principles.
