Task groups

The network model of a database system is an improvement over the hierarchical model. This model was developed in 1969 by the Data Base Task Group (DBTG) of CODASYL (Conference on Data System Languages) [8, because sometimes the re-...

The CMA Inter-Agency Task Group has proposed many initiatives to improve transportation safety. For example, the shipment of environmentally sensitive material in General Purpose rail cars will be phased out by the year 2000 and DOT Specification 105 pressure cars will be used instead.

Senior managers generally respond better to specific requests than to broad expressions of need. "First we need a mission statement" is likely to draw a quizzical expression and limited assistance. "The task group has developed this mission statement for your review and signature we plan to distribute it to all plant locations to kick off the effort" tells the boss exactly what you need and why you need it, and establishes that you expect to carry the ball. 

Following Is a sample charter or mission statement, establishing a company s PSM champion and task group, endorsing their activities, and broadly defining their responsibilities. 

Define goals. The task groups will define the company s goals for... 

Develop specific process safety management systems. Working within the pian, the task groups will develop specific systems and procedures for implementing PSM. The Division A team will focus on its own operations, while (name s) group will direct its efforts toward the other divisions. 

While a multidisciplinary team approach is ideally suited to PSM design and installation, it is not the only way. PSM goals can be achieved through the efforts of a single professional, or a small homogeneous task group (for example, facility managers or safety specialists) the process is essentially the same as described here, but on a smaller, more limited scale. 

What are team members roles When you approach colleagues to participate in a task group, the first question you ll hear is, "what do you need me to do " People understandably want to know what they re getting into, and what is expected of them, before making a commit-... 

At the conclusion of this set of tasks, the task group should review the PSM framework against its findings and adapt it accordingly to reflect the company s individual approach to management systems. The result should be a clear expression of your goals for the company s PSM initiative. 

Figure 51.3 provides an example of a typical work breakdown stmcture. The major divisions define specific, logical task groupings as well as the cost-accounting classifications. In the example, cost should be acquired for the preparation of the foundation, installation and final com-misioning of the pump and motor. In addition, each of the sub-tasks that comprise these classifications are logical groups of tasks that must be completed in sequence and by different work classifications. 

User experience of monitoring techniques in oil and gas production has been reviewed and indicates success and failure for the same methods by different operators. A survey of current monitoring practice in UK offshore fields has been published and other experience related to oil/gas production has be reported . A draft document has been prepared by CEA Task Group E2-5 providing guidelines for monitoring sea-water injection systems.

As the use of RMs increases and international trade in these materials becomes established, it has become clear that they can be subject to high levels of import duty and delay when clearing customs. In 1998 ISO/REMCO established Task Group 6 to investigate the problems involved in shipping reference materials (and materials that are in the process of being made into reference materials, such as proficiency testing materials) across national boimdaries. 

Whithin the Horizontal Working Group (HWG) a Task Group about Surface Disinfection was built by experts from France, UK, Belgium and Germany, the Surface Task Group (STG). 

Highly sophisticated pulse sequences have been developed for the extraction of the desired information from ID and multidimensional NMR spectra [172]. The same techniques can be used for high-resolution 1-NMR, s-NMR and NQR. Pulse experiments are commonly used for the measurement of relaxation times [173], for the study of diffusion processes [174] and for the investigation of chemical reactions [175]. Davies et al. [176] have described naming and proposed reporting of common NMR pulse sequences (IUPAC task group). An overview of pulse sequence experiments has been given [177],...

Class D substances and with a 10 h half-time for Class W and Class Y substances. Absorption of material directly into blood is predicted to occur with a 15 min half-time for all compounds. Direct absorption is predicted for 0.5 of the Class D material, for 0.1 of the Class W material, and for 0.01 of the Class Y material. Cuddihy and Ozog (1973) studied direct absorption of 144CeCl3 solutions deposited in the nasal region of Syrian hamsters. About 0.04 of the deposited radiocerium was absorbed through the nasal membranes into the blood. This is about one-half of that predicted by the Task Group Model for nasal absorption of Class W compounds in humans.
