Support resources

The support resources available to service, repak, and caUbrate the control system must also be considered when selecting a system they are considerable and can be estimated from the Hterature (48—50). 

The kinds of resources needed are fairly straightforward. The primary resource requirement for most PSM implementation efforts will be staff-time, both professional and clerical/secretarial. It is also reasonable to expect to incur travel expenses at intervals throughout the process, especially for companies with multiple facilities. Support resources, such as telephone, computer time, facsimile, photocopying, and document production, will almost certainly be required in any initiative. 

Support resources more often than not directly reflect level of effort. Sometimes these can be expressed as a percentage (15 to 20 percent) of the cost of staff.

LIMS as rented service— The application service provision provider (ASP) is a means of obtaining access to software applications without the need to acquire expensive licenses and hardware or employ high-cost support resources [7]. The application is hosted on a third-party site with system maintenance, backup, and recovery provided by a third party. Products and services can be rented for a contract period on a fixed cost per user/per month basis. The advantages of obtaining LIMS in this fashion include reduced cost in initial investment and reduced requirement of resources for maintaining the LIMS. The continued security and integrity of the data transferred over the Internet is a major concern for this type of LIMS. 

Scarcity necessitates choice how can resources be used to best effect What criteria might we use in making those decisions One of the most important will be effectiveness— the abilities of treatment and support resources to improve the health and quality of life of people with mental health problems but, as we have seen, increasingly attention is also being paid to the costs of achieving those effects. The generic term for the criterion that combines effectiveness with resource considerations is efficiency. A third criterion of importance is equity or fairness in the distribution of access to treatment resources, the burden of financing them, or of their effects on health and quality of life.

How did the therapist utilize the patient s natural coping skills and the supportive resources he already had in place when he came to therapy Dr. P noted how helpful the social support that the A s had received from their church had been to them. She wanted to reinforce the coping strategies and resources that the A s already had. She tried to demonstrate respect for all that the A s had already addressed and tried to keep the therapy in synchrony with the work the A s were doing through their church. 

Calibration certificates should be prepared where they are not provided by third parties and retained as a regulatory record. Many pharmaceutical and healthcare companies are installing computer systems to manage calibration master lists and calibration certificates that support resource scheduling. Such computer systems should be validated. An example calibration certificate is shown in Table 11.2.

Human numbers are growing fastest in the tropical world. With this growth goes an increase in livestock, and in cultivated soil. Pressure is increasing rapidly on life-support resources, and on land. Control depends on an understanding, not only of the social questions involved, but of the demands each living being makes on essential resources. 

Sophisticated equipment and facilities require skilled labor and construction professionals. It is difficult to construct and maintain one of these facilities in a remote part of the world and certain parts of the United States. Labor markets are limited. The new facility may compete with other facilities under construction for the available labor and construction support resources. Major API and biotechnology projects have recently experienced large cost impacts, both in the United States and foreign locations, because of a dearth of trained construction...

In allocating tasks, one must also consider what will be assigned to support resources.

If we look at it another way, this is an exceptionally complicated distributed optimization problem. We really desire some assignment of weapons to targets (and reconnaissance resources and combat support resources) that is optimal. But the assignment problem is distributed in time (varying windows for weapons flyout and target vulnerability) and is stochastic (targets appear and disappear, and things do or do not hit what they were aimed at). The centralized ATO...
