Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maximizing reader insights into a new movement toward leadership approaches that are collaborated and shared, and which views Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and performance excellence within the wider examination of leadership relationships and practices, this book argues that these relationships and processes are so central to the establishment of OSH functioning that studying them warrants a broad, cross-disciplinary, multiple method analysis. Exploring the complexity of leadership by the impact that contexts (e.g., national and organizational culture) may have on leaders, this book discusses the related literature, then moves forward to show how a more comprehensive practical approach to Occupational Safety and Health and performance excellence can function on levels pertaining to events, individuals, groups, and organizations. This book proposes that greater clarity in understanding leadership in Occupational Safety and Health and performance excellence can be developed from addressing two fundamental issues. Firstly, how do subunit inputs and processes combine to produce unit-level outcomes and how does leadership affect this process? Secondly, how do the leaders influence the way that individual-level inputs are combined to produce organizational outputs. In these issues, the alternative methodologies that allow precise measurement of organizational outputs in OSH and performance excellence are reviewed. To help readers navigate through the best practices, each chapter contains Question Guidelines, Exercises and Case studies which illustrate the concepts discussed and which serves to highlight the key evidence demonstrating that collaborative leadership can positively affect individual, group, and organizational level outcomes, including organizational OSH and performance excellence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American workforce is changing, creating new challenges for employers to provide occupational health services to meet the needs of employees. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) workforce is highly skilled and competitive and employees frequently work under intense pressure to ensure mission success. The Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer at NASA requested that the Institute of Medicine review its occupational health programs, assess employee awareness of and attitude toward those programs, recommend options for future worksite preventive health programs, and ways to evaluate their effectiveness. The committee's findings show that although NASA has a history of being forward-looking in designing and improving health and wellness programs, there is a need to move from a traditional occupational health model to an integrated, employee-centered program that could serve as a national model for both public and private employers to emulate and improve the health and performance of their workforces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decades asset intensive companies have witnessed a number of regulatory changes and especially industry is facing ever increasing competitiveness. To overcome these challenges different asset management methods have been developed aimed to improve the asset life cycle. Especially the design phase and operation and maintenance phase have seen a rise in tools and methods. Smarter design can lead to improved operation. Likewise, improved operation and maintenance leads to lower replacement costs and may provide the basis for better design. This book brings together and coherently presents the current state of the art in asset management research and practice in Europe from a life cycle perspective. Each chapter focuses on specific parts of this life cycle and explains how the methods and techniques described are connected and how they improve the asset life cycle, thus treating this important subject from a unique perspective.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, large organizations, such as governments and hospitals, are deploying complex on-line enterprise performance management systems, which support business performance management by analyzing the data collected from their operational systems into data warehouses. Those systems are often run on a network of centralized servers and are accessed by thousands of geographically dispersed users via browser-based inter-faces. To be successful, an enterprise performance management system must be scalable and it must be reliable to provide critical business services 24 hours per day x 7 days per week. The system also must be accepted by users, which means it will be really used so that the value of the system to the business can be realized. Data in the performance management system can be sensitive; hence, the system must protect privacy when delivering data and reports to users. This thesis defines an integrated quality assurance framework which addresses scalability, reliability, usage and privacy issues for enterprise performance management systems. Compared to black box testing, the integrated quality assurance framework has several advantages. It uses basic technologies (metadata modeling, reporting, portal, etc.) of an enterprise performance management system to provide deep analysis on system logs to measure quality both during development of the system and when it is in production. This thesis performs a case study using our approach by simulating the enterprise performance management system for a major teaching hospital in our lab environment and integrating our quality assurance framework. Often the data in the production environment is highly sensitive and its access strictly regulated by privacy law. To accurately assess the quality of the performance management system in a test environment, this thesis presents a strategy for generating test data with similar characteristics to the real sensitive data, and we have a Java-based tool implemented and applied in our research.

Book excerpt: EM's (DOE's Environmental Restoration and Waste Management) Integrated Performance Evaluation Program (IPEP) has the purpose of integrating information from existing PE programs with expanded QA activities to develop information about the quality of radiological, mixed waste, and hazardous environmental sample analyses provided by all laboratories supporting EM programs. The guidance addresses the goals of identifying specific PE sample programs and contacts, identifying specific requirements for participation in DOE's internal and external (regulatory) programs, identifying key issues relating to application and interpretation of PE materials for EM headquarters and field office managers, and providing technical guidance covering PE materials for site-specific activities. (PE) Performance Evaluation materials or samples are necessary for the quality assurance/control programs covering environmental data collection.
