A significant recent advance in continuum SD has been achieved by combining the solvation response expressions in terms of the solvent s(cu) with quantum mechanical (QM) electronic structure methodology for solvated species. Specifically, the polarizable continuum model (PCM) [51], which was originally developed to predict the electronic structure of solutes in polar media, has been extended to nonequilibrium solvation [52]. A review by Mennucci [8] describes this extension of PCM and its application to the evaluation of S(t). The readers are referred to that article for the outline of the overall approach and for the details of the methods used.

Based on internal benchmark data, AMR reports that the most advanced demandsensing companies have 15% less inventory, 17% better perfect order performance, and 35% shorter cash-to-cash cycle time. In terms of top line results, DDSC leaders have 10% higher revenue and 5-7% better profit margins than their competitors. These extraordinary results captured by demand-driven companies, show the importance of having a structured methodology for assessing the current state against DDSC concepts, in order to help companies evolve in the implementation of DDSC components and tactics.

Failure Mode and Effects (and Criticality) Analysis (FMEA/FMECA) are structured methodologies for the identification and analysis of the effects of latent equipment failure modes on system performance. This is a bottom-up process starting with the failure of a constituent/subsystem and investigating the effect of this on the system. It should be conducted by a team of experts with cross-functional knowledge of the analysed system, process or product. The methodology consists of the following steps ...

The other possibility is to go in steps selecting only part of the functionality required to be implemented in software i.e. a partially digital RPS. For example, the trip unit may be selected for software implementation due to its simplicity. Although module simplicity, this software must be developed with an appropriate life-cycle using a structured methodology for real-time safety-critical system development, an adequate test life-cycle with an intensive verification and validation plan (see Section 5.3.2).
