Schedule preparation guidelines

Thoughts on Scheduling Influential Factors Preparation Guidelines... 

An engineering schedule prepared with the guidelines in Fig. 9.1 provides sufficient information for the appropriation request. It also gives the Owner s Project Manager an excellent tool to review the contractor s own schedule and, if necessary, discuss it with a degree of authority (see Figs. E.l andE.2). 

The final presentation is on the last half day scheduled. You will have 20 minutes per team. We leave it up to you how the team structures the presentation, and who does it. We do expect everybody to participate in the preparation. Keep the guidelines in mind that we have given you for presentations. Realize that a report and a presentation are quite different things figures and tables in a report are seldom good for a presentation. 

In the meantime, the breakdown of the construction hours by disciplines provided with the conceptual estimate enables the Project Manager to refine, with the aid of the scheduling guidelines in Fig. 9.1, the staffing requirements and prepare a firm plan for contracting the construction work. 

There is no official OTC status for drugs in India. However, there is a classification of drugs termed as home remedies under Schedule K, such as paracetamol, aspirin, cough and cold preparations, rubs, liniments and the like, which can be stocked and marketed as per said provisions under Schedule K and rules thereof. As there is no official OTC status, drugs (other than those in Schedule K) cannot be advertised in the lay media. Guidelines are under preparation for establishing OTC drugs as well as prescription to OTC switch policy. 

The draft of GCP guidelines has been prepared in consultation with the industry and is likely to be appended to Schedule Y. 

The recommended guidelines for baseline and routine laboratory testing for lithium are listed in Table 68-12. The 12-hour postdose lithium serum concentration may be 12% to 33% higher with extended-release preparations and lower with regular-release tablets with divided dosage schedules. The dose should be adjusted based on the steady-state serum concentration drawn 12 hours ( 30 minutes) after the last dose. A therapeutic trial (lithium serum concentrations of 0.6 to 1.2 mEq/L) should last a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks. Acutely manic patients may require serum concentrations of 1 to 1.2 mEq/L, and some need up to 1.5 mEq/L to achieve a therapeutic response. Although serum concentrations less than 0.6 mEq/L are associated with higher rates of relapse, some patients may do well at 0.4 to 0.7 mEq/L. For bipolar prophylaxis in elderly patients, serum concentrations of 0.4 to 0.6 mEq/L are recommended because of increased sensitivity to adverse effects. ...
