Opportunity log

Opportunity Log—Someone will capture any and all potential improvement ideas the team Identifies on an opportunity log. Figure 5.6 is an example of such a document. Idea generation during a kaizen event is treated... 

On Day 2, the workshop attendees were split into four kaizen (continuous improvement) teams and sent to specific work areas to observe associates at work. They were given opportunity logs onto which they were to record as many opportunities as they could identify. I joined the site manager for a Lean Safety Gemba Walk. We observed individual workstations and checked in with each kaizen team to ensure they understood their objective and were harvesting opportunities. 

The Log-Rank Test provides a method for comparing risk-adjusted event rates, useful when test subjects in a study are subject to varying degrees of opportunity to experience the event. Such situations arise frequently in toxicology studies due to the finite duration of the study, early termination of the animal or interruption of treatment before the event occurs. 

According to (12b) a determination of the partition coeflScientP presents the opportunity of determining the quantity log[AB.Po]. 

An opportunity to use the thermodynamic cycle shown in Fig. 7 was provided by the requirement to estimate stability constants for cerium(IV) complexes of a series of hydroxypyridinones. As stability constants for their cerium(III) analogues had been measured and F °(Ce /Ce ) values established, stability constants for one bidentate and two tetradentate 3-hydroxy-2-pyridinones could be obtained. Log P4 for the former was calculated to be 40.9, log P2 for the complexes of the tetradentate ligands 40.6 and 41.9. These very high values, expected for a 4+ cation, are paralleled by high pCe values between 37 and 38 for the tetradentate ligands (147). 

Selectivity versus Reactivity. The "reactivity-selectivity principle" (RSP) states that "in a set of similar reactions, the less reactive the reagent, the more selective it is in its attack" (451. This principle is widely held, but its generality has recently been questioned (28.46-481. The reactivity data assembled in Tables IV through VIII appear to provide an opportunity to examine the validity of the RSP, using log(kA/ka)sN as a measure of the selectivity of a haloaliphatic compound between nucleophiles A and B. 

A serious disadvantage of automated data processing is the fact that the researcher is deprived of those hours of leisure, in which he or she plotts results in silence and seclusion on the double-log scale and this opportunity is used to think over whether or not the data evaluated in this way make sense or if they should rather be represented in another fashion. No graphical representation of test data is in the first instance more suitable than that on the double-log scale. This approach shows better and quicker whether it is suitable for the description, or if a simple-log scale would possibly fit better. Furthermore, curves on the double-log scale can easily be converted into straight lines (Y = aX b) or in simple analytical expressions of the form (Y = aX bX ). Of course, a statistical balancing of the coefficients and exponents can be left to the computer afterwards. 

Then the rate at which transport, viscous flow, diffusion, and conduction occur is controlled by either the rate at which the opportunities for escape occur or the ease with which the ion jumps into the new open structure. Of course, these statements apply only to molten salts such as sodium chloride, simple molten salts as they are called, and those for which the log D versus l/Tline is straight (Fig. 5.49). If the molten salt forms complexes (e.g., ZnCl , which is formed in NaCl-ZnClj), then it is rather different the control of transport rate in these substances will be discussed in a later section. 

Identify what information and resources may be needed during the inspection what was reviewed and outcome of previous inspections, and what corrective actions are closed, in progress, and not started. Review problem logs and change control records. Consider if there are any topics the company would like to take the opportunity to brief the inspector with.
