Program Effectiveness

Resting on our laurels is okay when our programs are perfect and there is no progress to be made however, I am not aware of any facility whose management would agree that it has no room for improvement. There is always a need to improve. No matter how well we perform, there are always ways to make our performance better. This chapter offers ideas for how to make improvements in safety programs that will help develop safety culture. 

In the preceding chapters we determined where we were in the past and established the general state of our current safety culture development. Now we need to concentrate on how to get from where we are to where we want to be. This is easier than one might think. As determinations of shortcomings are made and improvement plans are implemented, the culture should be getting stronger all the time. We all know where we want to be as far as safety culture development is concerned we want to have a zero-accident/incident/loss culture. 

This terminology might sound familiar because it has been the basis of safety and health regulations as stated by OSHA. If we can provide this atmosphere, our chances for success in developing our safety culture increase. For most companies, however, it is a difficult task to get cultures

Program effectiveness depends on one or two key peopie. if the key peopie ieave, a significant part of the program and institutionai knowiedge goes with them. 

The accountability expected of the predictive maintenance group is another factor that is critical to program effectiveness. If measures of program effectiveness are not established, neither management nor program personnel can determine if the program s potential is being achieved. 

Design and implement data collection strategies aimed at tapping one or more levels of program effects. These strategies should reflect the audience s expressed needs for information. 

A maintenance information system that details equipment and component maintenance scope and frequency, documents work completed, and provides feedback on maintenance program effectiveness. 

With current demands for higher cycles, the use and reuse of variable quality makeup water sources, and strong competitive pressures from water treatment service companies, these indices are, unfortunately, increasingly being used as primary evidence to customers in justifications for change, program effectiveness, or price comparisons. 

The objective in this section is to examine experiments or combinations of related experiments that make up development programs so that adequate justification can be developed for the formulation, process, and specifications. The emphasis will be on techniques to increase developmental program effectiveness. 

The following discussion describes some techniques to help improve experimental program effectiveness. A logical and systematic approach coupled with effective communication among individuals associated with the program is emphasized. Topics to be discussed include... 

The overall costs to farmers, consumers, and taxpayers if either atrazines or triazines were not available are extensive. Table 12.5 gives a summary of net costs per year over the first 5 years beginning in 1996. In this case the results from the scenarios with a federal farm program in place were averaged with the case when there are no farm program payments. This average scenario was an attempt to model the federal farm program effects if they were phased out over 7 years. 

Most NMR-groups exploring effects of molecular motion tend to develop their own software to simulate these effects. Recently the simulation program EXPRESS developed by Void and Hoatson69 was presented. By this program, effects of dynamics can be simulated (see Table 1 in Ref. 69 for details) but so far effects of finite rf-pulses and the motional effects on satellite transitions in half-integer quadrupolar nuclei are not included.

The examples discussed herein show that very simple, easily written CSMP programs can be used to treat complex kinetic problems that are encountered in studies on polymerization, polycondensations and polymer modification reactions. It is obvious that CSMP is also applicable to problems involving polymer processing or the dynamic behavior of polymers in solution or bulk. Polymer scientists would be well advised to become familiar with this valuable program. It would also seem important to use CSMP in the classroom. We hope that the instructions and examples provided herein will help others to use CSMP programming effectively and with minimum difficulty. 

Gas samples from the reactor were analyzed by mass spectroscopy and gas chromatography and conversions of sulfur dioxide to sulfur vapor were computed from the combined analytical data. In this large-scale test program, effects on catalyst loading of a number of variables were examined in detail. While the laboratory experimentation had been quite extensive, operation of a pilot plant was considered necessary to permit scale-up of the process to the 200-300 ton/day plants conceivably required in the future. 

To estimate the reduction in social costs of a program requires some knowledge of the effectiveness of the program. Since there was (and still is) no track-record of the effectiveness of tagging expls, a mathematical model was developed in which program effectiveness and consequently cost benefits are presented in parametric form in terms of the parameters based largely on qualitative opinions of law enforcement personnel... 

To facilitate a full systems approach to designing physical protection from CB threats by 2020 will require coordination with academic curricula and research programs. Effective integration of sensor data with material response will need directed research and development, as will verification and validation programs of these systems. Appropriate infrastructure - testing facilities and equipmenf and enhanced supercomputing facilities - may be focused on this problem domain at DoD and Department of Energy laboratories. 

Percent craft utilization (CU) Evaluates actual wrench time (hands-on time) for craft labor. Provides one of the two key elements for measuring the overall craft effectiveness (OCE). Measures the overall increase in craft labor wrench time due to a proactive, planned maintenance strategy with effective planning and scheduhng, positive impact from the PM/PdM program, effective MRO materials management service, and improved CMMS.

To evaluate a programs effectiveness, management should look at both noncompliances and near-misses. Too many near-misses will result in a noncompliance—it is just a matter of time. Near-misses can include calls to the hotline about particular conduct, even if the conduct was not technically a violation of a law or a standard. Program elements have to be continually assessed to optimize effectiveness.
