Planning organizations

We have only to look at the introductory clauses of ISO 9001 to find that the aim of the requirements is to achieve customer satisfaction by prevention of nonconformities. Hence quality management is a means for planning, organizing, and controlling the prevention of failure. All the tools and techniques that are used in quality management serve to improve our ability to succeed in our pursuit of excellence. 

The purpose of a quality system is to enable you to economically achieve, sustain, and improve quality. It is unlikely that you will be able to produce and sustain the required quality unless you organize yourselves to do so. Quality does not happen by chance -it has to be managed. No human endeavor has ever been successful without having been planned, organized, and controlled in some way. 

Safety and environmental policies need to be established and approved by executive management. Practices for implementing the policy need to be established, documented, implemented, and evaluated for continued suitability and effectiveness. These practices have to be planned, organized, and controlled so that they achieve their purpose. 

Each of these is probably caused by deficiencies in management, its planning, organization, or control. 

An inventory management system should be established - meaning set up on a permanent basis to meet defined inventory policies and objectives approved by executive management. It should be documented - meaning that there should be a description of the system, how it works, the assignment of responsibilities, the codification of best practice, procedures, and instructions. The system should be planned, organized, and controlled in order that it achieves its purpose. A person should therefore be appointed with responsibility for the inventory management system and the responsibilities of those who work the system should be defined and documented. Records should be created and maintained that show how order quantities have been calculated in order that the calculations can be verified and repeated if necessary with new data. The records should also provide adequate data for continual improvement initiatives to be effective. 

It is advisable to identify all your quality records within your procedures. This will avoid arguments on what is or is not a quality record, because once you have chosen to identify a record as a quality record you have invoked all the requirements that are addressed in this chapter. Any document which describes the achieved features and characteristics of a product or service are quality records. Those records which will demonstrate that work has been planned, organized, resourced, monitored, verified, and corrected when found deficient are also quality records. The note following the requirement acknowledges that quality records can be in hard copy or held on a computer disk or magnetic tape. Should both forms be held, you will need to declare which are the masters and provide the appropriate security to prevent inadvertent loss or damage (see below). 

Any activity which affects the determination of product or service features and characteristics, their specification, achievement, or verification, or means to plan organize, control, assure, or improve them. 

To manage work means to plan, organize, and control the resources (personnel, financial, and material) and the tasks required to achieve the objective for which the work is needed. 

This model is unique in its description of what constitutes a management system, and its effort to address the planning, organizing, implementing, and control aspects of process safety management systems.

Retrosynthetic (Sections 8.9, 16.11) A strategy for planning organic syntheses by working backward from the final product to the starting material. 

The second edition of this extremely successful guidebook for planning organic syntheses is addressed to advanced undergraduate, graduate and research chemists. Retrosynthetic analysis and the synthon approach are presented. This new, extensively revised and enlarged edition takes account of recent developments, such as nanometer-size architecture, while emphasizing the essentials. 

The authors are indebted to the Department of Chemistry and Atatiirk University for financial support (Grant Nr. 1991/6, Arastirma Fonu) of this work and State Planning Organization of Turkey (DPT) for purchasing a 200 MHz NMR. 

It was an outstanding experience to plan, organize and realize this book, and to work with such a distinguished group of contributors. I hope that the readers will enjoy the work they did. I won new friends during this book project, one of which is Pierre-Alain Carrupt. He prepared the cover graphics, which represents the molecular lipophilicity potentials for my PhD molecule verapamil in its extended and folded conformation.

Another cost estimate placed the total remediation costs at 253,000. This included 64,000 for planning, organization, project management, and remediation equipment 44,000 for field work 74,000 for laboratory analytical work 29,000 for drilling costs and 42,000 for activated carbon and regeneration (D22531A, p. 22).
