Project dependencies

Produced from a.tura.1 Ga.s, Cost assessments of methanol produced from natural gas have been performed (13—18). Projections depend on such factors as the estimated costs of the methanol production faciUty, the value of the feedstock, and operating, maintenance, and shipping costs. Estimates vary for each of these factors. Costs also depend on the value of oil. Oil price not only affects the value of natural gas, it also affects the costs of plant components, labor, and shipping. 

A successful tolling project depends upon defining the project objectives at the outset and clearly communicating those objectives. The objectives take into account the rights and expectations of both the toller and the client. Specifics such as ownership, specifications, timing, regulatory requirements, product quality, and documentation are considered. Each project or process is unique and consequently the agreements reached between the parties and the... 

The amount of energy created by a hydroelectric project depends largely upon two factors the pressure of the water acting on the turbine and the volume of water available. Water that falls 1,000 feet generates about twice as much electric power as the same volume of water falling only 500 feet. In addition, if the amount of water available doubles, so does the amount of energy . 

The success of the project depended on the ability of biochemical engineers, chemists, and life scientists to work together. Success depended on an integrated vision of the process and an understanding of how each component interacted with the other components. 

Corollary. If Ee is a projection depending on a continuous parameter t and continuous in the sense of, then dim is constant. 

We hope to use these types of analyses in making all of our major decisions. Although in many areas we will only be able to analyze gross differences in risk, we feel that some information is better than none. Comprehensive risk assessments are our goal, but the precision of our efforts will vary greatly in different projects depending on the data and predictive models available. 

The ADAS Project depends on and acknowledges the contribution of all its participants. 

Whether you can or should do any experiments in the project depends on the subject that you choose. There are many products where you can learn a lot from simple experiments, but experiments do cost time and they need planning. If you include experiments, we expect you to follow the guidelines that we have given for Experiments at Home . 

The following subchapters describe how to define the aim of a development project and propose a basic structure for a project plan which eliminates the main risk factors in the earliest possible stages but keeps the main dependencies in mind. Since the success of development projects depends on an efficient and well-organized use of human resources and because dealing with human resources is the most difficult task of a project manager, the human and organizational aspects of project work will also be discussed. 

One should not forget that the economic aspects of a project depend also on the underlying assumptions about the product s characteristics. Less efficacy than assumed or a slightly compromised tolerability may seriously affect a product s performance and viability on the market. 

The design of a library that is project dependent and identical for both solution and solid phases, involves the identification of a suitable structural motif together with its randomization points, which are available for generation of diversity (Fig. 8.6, top) and the overall definition of library size. A retrosynthetic study follows in which a reasonable synthetic route in solution is determined, while work on SP requires the choice of a suitable support and of a linker as well (Fig. 8.6, bottom). 

The release of permanent staff from projects back into the business and their subsequent interdepartmental movements make their return to support inspections difficult and umeliable. Inspection readiness can be further frustrated by key staff taking on external positions or leaving the business for other reasons, e.g., voluntary redundancy. Many projects depend greatly on contracted resources, and turnover of such staff can be high. Once staff are dispersed, there may be an irretrievable loss of knowledge. 

The extent to which you can complete the innovation financial management documents early in the project depends on the level of innovation you hope to achieve. During incremental innovation, your initial ratio of knowledge to assumptions (Exhibit 11.1) will be higher than for substantial or breakthrough innovation. In either case, you should update the relevant financial documents, as well as the Project Charter, as you uncover new data throughout the project. 

Sensitivity analysis is used to identify and quantify project characteristics that are major factors in the expected value of a project/ and is one of the most powerful tools of modern portfolio management. Sensitivity analyses serve two goals. The first goal is to identify the project characteristics that were used to determine the project value/ the so-called value drivers/ and ensure that the project plan developed by the project team solidly supports these value drivers. For example/ a value driver for a potential sedative hypnotic might be that it has no potentiation or interaction with alcohol. Because much of the value of this project depends on this product characteristic/ the project team will plan to assess this expected value driver as early as possible in the development cycle. 

All drug discovery projects depend on luck to be successful, but research and careful planning can improve chances of success and lower the cost. Project teams can streamline the discovery process by using the tools that can lead to a discovery most directly. These tools are drawn from the repertoires of modem biology, chemistry, robotics and computer simulations. In comparison with older processes of in vivo screening of huge numbers of molecules, however, these innovations have not been associated with shortening of the development... 

The need and precision of a particular physicochemical property for decision making in a drug discovery project depend on the stage in the drug discovery process (see Figure 5.2). While calculated simple filters may be sufficient in library design,... 

Each member of an environmental team has a very specific mission. The success of the project depends on the overall coordination of the individual elements. Communication and cross-training are critical for the effective and efficient accomplishment of the EPA mission. Unfortunately, the demand for trained and experienced environmental professionals far outweighs the current availability. 

Every business enterprise has limitations on the amount of capital available for investment each year. A minimum rate of return or barrier rate is established by management for different projects, depending on the risk involved, the type of venture, the cost of capital, and the duration of the venture. Different styles of management often use different methods for establishing the minimum rate of return. 

The overall procedures for the extraction of plant material during a phytochemical investigation consist of a series of apparently simple steps. However, the ultimate success of this type of research project depends on the care devoted to each individual aspect of the work. 

The reliability of a project depends greatly on the amount and quality of the available design information. Usually the project schedule is tight and the time insufficient for an extensive research. The input data required by a design project may be collected in a systematic manner, following the checklist presented below.
