Team organization

Development of EOPs requires knowledge and abilities in several disciplines. Since EOPs are critical to plant safety and must be very accurate it is recommended that an experienced, multi-discipUne team be formed at the outset of the EOF development project. 

It is important to stress that the development of EOPs should not be a part time job. Additionally, it is important that the staff selected to develop the EOPs should be experienced and respected in their fields. The following 

The number of members from each discipline will be determined by the scope of the project and the chosen development method. Procedure writers with operating experience can be very beneficial to the project. 

As the project progresses there will be times when special expertise (systems engineering experts, etc.) is necessary. Additionally, the project resources required typically increase during the verification and validation processes. Management oversight, QA and quahty control will be needed throughout the project. 

In almost all nuclear power plants there is a series of old event based procedures that respond to a wide range of events. Since the effort associated

In this step, the team organizes and makes a final review of the quantitative information on all material flows, and summarizes the data onto a spreadsheet. For each unit operation, the team should use data compiled from Steps 2 through 12 to construct the material-balance system. Organize the information clearly. 

The project team organization. This will help to identify key individuals and alternates, roles and responsibilities, and other on-site and off-site resources. 

HAZWOPER specifically requires that project personnel and responsibilities be well defined. Refer to our discussion on project team organization in Chapter 3. 

On the other hand, when workers are seriously under-loaded, they might not be very alert to changing process conditions. Many of the problems of plant automation are common to other situations of task underload. To increase the level of activity in monitoring tasks, additional tasks can be assigned, such as calculating the consumption of fuels, the life of a catalyst, the efficiency of the furnace and so on. Meister (1979) provides a summary of research on team organization. 

With his team organized, Haber began looking at the problem in its simplest form—at normal atmospheric pressure. After publishing some preliminary results, Haber met Walther Nernst at a scientific conference in Hamburg. Nernst, who was only four years older than Haber, had a pugnacious personality that made him quarrel with almost everyone in academia. Worried that Haber s work cast doubt on the validity of his new law of thermodynamics, Nernst publicly ridiculed Haber s highly erroneous data and told him scornfully to do his homework. ... 

The incident investigation management system may include a description of how a team is organized and how it functions. The team organization, composition, and functions must be structured to provide flexibility based on the particular incident and the management system should emphasize that fact. The system may describe an investigation team s basic objectives...

Team Organization, Week 2. This milestone requires the formation of a team along with a work plan describing when weekly meetings will occur and what specific skills each team member brings to the project. Students are asked to brainstorm about an audience, topic and format and to present three or more possible projects. 

The hospital is responsible for the patients and is the decision-making center. A hospital team organizes,...
