Lastly, it is important to note that differences such as these underscore the importance of declaring the primary analysis approach in a study protocol or statistical analysis plan. Committing to the most appropriate analysis from first principles is not only good scientific discipline, it is also necessary to withstand regulatory scrutiny. 

The range of uncertainty in the UR may be too large to commit to a particular development plan, and field appraisal may be required to reduce the uncertainty and allow a more suitable development plan to be formed. Unless the range of uncertainty is quantified using statistical techniques and representations, the need for appraisal cannot be determined. Statistical methods are used to express ranges of values of STOMP, GIIP, UR, and reserves. 

A researcher planning a strategy must determine if a commitment to appHcations research is required. If so, the cost of faciHties and personnel and the time required to assemble these must be calculated and included in the overall cost of entry. 

A researcher planning strategy must determine whether commitment to a technical service faciHty and personnel is required. If it is, the cost of this commitment must be deterrnined and included in the overall cost of entering the product field. 

Pilot-plant start-up is different from principal process plant start because of the smaller scale of the unit, smaller resources committed, lack of advance start-up planning, and limited experience with the pilot-plant process and operation. 

Once the options have been clearly defined it will be necessary to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of each option. This has two main objectives. First, the overall cost of the project will need to be assessed to determine whether or not it is financially viable and, second, to ensure that those who will be required to incur expenditure are fully aware of the commitment needed. The financial benefits to users of the waters for recreation, fisheries, navigation, etc., are relatively easy to determine, but monetary valuation of the environmental benefits such as conservation and general amenity will be more difficult to define. As yet this aspect of the cost-benefit analysis has not been fully developed in the UK. Having determined a range of options and costs for eutrophication control in a particular catchment, consultation on the details of the Action plan with all those involved is needed before any plan can be implemented. 

The requirements for quality are the objectives which the organization is committed to achieving through the contract. They may relate to products, services, or both. The vehicle for you to define and document how these objectives will be met is called a quality plan but may be known by other names such as a project plan or contract plan. In some cases the requirement may be met in the form of a technical proposal by the supplier to the customer. 

The standard requires the supplier to provide appropriate planning information and purchase commitments to enable subcontractors to meet 100% on-time delivery. 

While the ISO 9001 requirement applies only to quality records, ISO/TS 16949 extends retention times for many other documents because you cannot demonstrate you have or had operations under control without specifications, plans, procedures, etc. You may also need to retain tools, jigs, fixtures, test software - in fact anything that is needed to repair or reproduce equipment in order to honor your long-term commitments.

In all cases the preliminary work (obtaining commitment, defining goals, and evaluating the current status) provides most of the information you will need to select and develop an implementation plan. 

As with your earlier ptesentatioiL it s important to remember to "dose the sale." Your goal for this discussion is not just to win approval but to gain a commitment for the resources you will need to move the initiative forward. To achieve this goal, you should devote particular attention to summarizing the benefits of the plan and the kinds of support you are requesting these two points, taken togethei create the essence of your sales proposition What you will get and what it will cost you. 

Each location that is installing a PSM system needs to monitor its own progress. As part of installation planning, each location will have made commitments to a PSM implementation schedule and plant managers will need to know how their facilities [Pg.176]

A I have asked our Corporate VP for Operations to take day-to-day oversight of the work. I expect to review progress every month. I will make sure that the project has all the resources and management commitment needed to make it succeed. I have already planned for an annual reduction in accident and incident related costs of at least 10 percent each year. I have given my personal commitment to the board that we will achieve this. 

Any non-transportation-rcl itcd onshore and offshore fiicility tlmt has die potential to discharge oil into navigable waters is subject to SPCC pl ms. This includes not only facilities that produce oil, but also industrial, commercial, agricultural, and public facilities that use or store oil. An SPCC plan must have die full approval of maimgemcnt at a level with authority to commit the necessary resources. A complete SPCC plan would follow the sequence outlined below for the minimal prevention requirements. 

Risk-shifting potential—the contract must provide the ability tor those with price risk in the underlying item to shift that risk to a market participant willing to accept It. In the energy world, commercial producers, traders, refiners, distributors and consumers need to be able to plan ahead, and frequently enter into commitments to buy or sell energy commodities many months in advance. 

The benefits from a planned maintenance system cannot be achieved without the commitment of the person responsible for its implementation. To ensure that the system operates to the satisfaction of operators and users, discussions should take place during the initial decisionmaking and with the relevant departments when the planning schedules are being prepared. 

Before committing the company or department to a system of planned maintenance, it is essential that there is a complete overview of the total demand on plant, equipment and resources and the benefits from the implementation of such a system, manual or computerized. Varying systems and/or part systems exist in almost every engineering maintenance department, which are due to company policy, changes in departmental staff or workforce, commitment of persons responsible, or, as is the situation in a number of instances, a previous breakdown, which the... 

This chapter should be sufficient to guide the engineer or manager through the initial stages of introducing a sound and effective planned maintenance system. However, as in any establishment - production, administration or (as in this case) engineering - without the commitment and... 

Determining who will have responsibility for completing each task or step of a project should be done as early as possible, so that they can participate in the planning of both schedules and budgets. This participation leads to a greater commitment to achieve the project within time and cost limitations. 

The other reason for not using percent completion is that it involves no commitment on the part of individuals responsible for the event to finish at any particular time. To report that you are X per cent complete on an event is a subjective evaluation of history, not a statement of future plans and intentions. Thus, we often experience the phenomenon of completion percentages that increase by ever-smaller amounts and never quite reach 100 per cent. 

I have definite plans about committing suicide.
