Staffing references

Minimized staffing refers to die reductkMi of ovoall maiqxiwer by the sharing of skilled personnel among similar facilities. It is achieved by (qitimizing the division of responsibilities and functions between local staff, central supptxt and die plant itself. 

Associated with factor costs are linkages with material suppliers, subcontractors and support services (e.g. temporary staffing agencies, travel agents, reference libraries, and office maintenance services). The availability and cost of these factors need to be considered. 

Ruggedness Ruggedness refers to the attributes of a method that could cause the method to wear on the facilities, the staff, and the equipment. For example, there may be some aspect of the work that will cause an instrument component to deteriorate faster than it normally does. Perhaps one method requires 24-hour staffing, while an alternative method does not. Or perhaps the sample preparation task is too complicated to be done reliably. 

The current technological status of small (0.5-5 kWe) PEM, SOFC, AFC and PAFC fuel cell stationary units, was recently reviewed by Staffed et al. (2007) (Table 3.12). The system efficiency refers to electrical losses of the fuel-cell system (fans, pumps, control) and the current conditioning unit (transformer, inverter), while total efficiency refers to both electrical power and heat cogeneration. Cost estimations refer to mass-produced fuel-cell systems according to today s state-of-the-art manufacture technologies and materials, while current retail prices of demonstration fuel-cell systems are in the range of 10,000-100,000 / kWe (Staffed et al., 2007). 

Nurse workstation/ward refers to any application facility that is specifically designed for the use of nursing staff, including bed management for ADT, flowcharting, nursing care plans, and nurse staffing systems.

Staffing and management performance as assumed for risk analysis. Explicit priority ranking with reference to risk analysis. 

Forecasting in the flow would be simpler as well. One need only forecast and plan to a likely range for production. Supply chain partners then put in place the capability in terms of plant, equipment, and staffing to produce to that range. There is also a reduced need to forecast individual items, as supply chain production is determined by actual sales. We refer to this supply chain as a demand-driven supply chain, as discussed in the next subsection. 

A program contracted by the employer and staffed by psychologists and other health professionals to which employees under stress or exhibiting behaviors that may create an unsafe work environment can be referred. 

Do not refer to the Safety Report in the medical record. Do not assign blame, make accusations, complain about personalities, staffing, facility systems, etc. 

All the major pacing companies have 24h technical assistance help lines staffed with individuals trained to assist with troubleshooting their company s devices. The physicians manual is an excellent reference for learning how the device works, although it rarely covers all the idiosyncrasies one might encounter in the clinic. 

As noted, people may criticize health and safety issues which refer to staffing levels, saying that the levels are an industrial relations issue. However, it is not that simple - staffing is often directly related to health or safety. For example, there is a need for a second person in a job involving boating, a second person who can clearly see the rear-door exit of a bus, and a second person in the cockpit of a commercial aircraft. 

Shift Patterns (Chapter 9)—Shift patterns refer to the scheduling of work activity outside the standard office hours, such as in 24/7 control room operations. These operations assume continuous staffing aud a handover of duty from one team to another. The example shifts are assessed against human factors best practice. Comparison of the two proposed shift cycles (i.e., summer and winter) with a notional ideal on the HSE risk and fatigue indices reveals similar results. 

Staffing levels refers to the number of team members available to work in a control room (Sebok, 2000). The staffing level has a direct impact on performance and safety of process control tasks. Safe staffing levels should... 

Undermanning refers to the state when the staffing level is insufficient to operate the plant efficiently and effectively. 

The replacement and transportation of the injured workers must be provided for at the earliest possible time. Do not leave the workplace understaffed in the event of an assault. The development of an employee health service, staffed by a trained occupational health specialist, may be an important addition to the hospital team. Such employee health staff can provide treatment, arrange for counseling, refer to a specialist, and should have procedures in place for all shifts. Employee health nurses should be trained in posttraumatic counseling and may be utilized for group counseling programs or other assistance programs.
