Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This article aims to explain why sometimes separating strategic budgeting from strategic planning can be advantageous for library staff as a means of reshaping debate about operations. Strategic planning is a popular concern for library leaders of all types. Budgeting is commonly a component of the strategic planning process. Design/methodology/approach – When, why and how to begin strategic budgeting conversations are explained with detail given toward seven specific goals appropriate for budgeting discussions above and beyond common strategic operational matters related to services, collections and/or facilities. Findings – Consultant intervention, and restructuring periods, are clear times to introduce the concept of strategic budgeting to library staff. Fundamentally, however, immediate implementation of fiscal strategy development is recommended for a smooth and effective transitional process to take shape. Originality/value – Budgeting does not have to a piece of overall strategic planning. Depending on the need or the focus of the organization, forsaking strategic planning in favor of strategic budgeting can be a superior program for the advancement of library initiatives.

Abstract : Indonesia, positioned as a prominent emerging market, draws its economic strength from a diverse mix of agriculture, manufacturing, and a thriving services sector. The nation’s strategic location, coupled with abundant resources and a youthful population, forms a resilient economic foundation that has contributed to its sustained growth. One notable sector that plays a pivotal role in meeting the country’s protein needs is the poultry industry. Chicken consumption has risen to 7.41 kilograms per capita yearly, indicating a substantial 9.23% increase from 2020. Against this backdrop of economic vibrancy and shifting consumption patterns, PT.XYZ, a key player in the poultry industry, is strategically positioning itself for expansion. Recognizing the immense potential within Indonesia’s dynamic poultry sector, PT.XYZ is planning to enhance its broiler meat production capabilities through the construction of new broiler chicken farm facilities. This research endeavours to provide PT.XYZ with a comprehensive feasibility analysis for the envisioned broiler chicken farm facilities. The proposed facilities are designed to produce a significant volume, with a capacity of up to 16.8 million chickens annually, equivalent to approximately 29,3 million kilograms of chicken meat per year. The construction timeline is strategically set for two years, spanning from September 2024 to October 2026. The research findings present a compelling case for the feasibility of PT.XYZ’s ambitious broiler farm construction project. Financial indicators reveal a positive Net Present Value, an Internal Rate of Return that exceeds the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), and a Payback Period of five years, aligning with the company’s strategic plans. These results underscore the financial viability and attractiveness of the proposed expansion.

BACKGROUND: The reduction of Kenya´s TB burden requires improving resource allocation both to and within the National TB, Leprosy and Lung Disease Program (NTLD-P). We aimed to estimate the unit costs of TB services for budgeting by NTLD-P, and allocative efficiency analyses for future National Strategic Plan (NSP) costing.METHODS: We estimated costs of all TB interventions in a sample of 20 public and private health facilities from eight counties. We calculated national-level unit costs from a health provider´s perspective using bottom-up (BU) and top-down (TD) approaches for the financial year 2017–2018 using Microsoft Excel and STATA v16.RESULTS: The mean unit cost for passive case-finding (PCF) was respectively US$38 and US$60 using the BU and TD approaches. The unit BU and TD costs of a 6-month first-line treatment (FLT) course, including monitoring tests, was respectively US$135 and US$160, while those for adult drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) treatment was respectively US$3,230.28 and US$3,926.52 for the 9-month short regimen. Intervention costs highlighted variations between BU and TD approaches. Overall, TD costs were higher than BU, as these are able to capture more costs due to inefficiency (breaks/downtime/leave).CONCLUSION: The activity-based TB unit costs form a comprehensive cost database, and the costing process has built-in capacity within the NTLD-P and international TB research networks, which will inform future TB budgeting processes.

The National Department of Health is the executive department of the South African government which is assigned to the national health issues of the country. This research was however aimed specifically on the budgeting process within the Eastern Cape Provincial Department of Health. This was provisioned by assessing the significance of the budgeting system and its correlation to efficient and effective healthcare service delivery. The aim of the research was to highlight on how policies have an effect on the budgeting system at the provincial level, considering the provincial health department is responsible for the provision of publicly funded health services. This research assessed the budgeting system in the Eastern Cape Department of Health in an attempt to propagate effective and efficient health service delivery for the general citizenry. This was a qualitative study design which harnessed the merits of secondary data as the main code of the research design which enabled the comprehension of the budgeting system in the Eastern Cape Department of Health. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to examine the distinctive themes and sub-themes identified from within the reviewed literature. The Eastern Cape Province is succumbing to insufficient funding at provincial level and this has a clear-cut reflection on the administration of services within respective departments, particularly the Health Department. This is despite the fact that the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 promotes the objectives of good financial management aimed at maximizing service delivery through the effective use of the limited resources. Resultantly it was fundamental to comprehend on the issues underpinning the scope of budget reporting as well as budget accountability and the effect it has on service delivery in the Eastern Cape Department of Health. Recommendations were thus given based on the discussed and derived themes to ensure that there is an appropriate budgeting system to ensure efficient and effective provision of health care services in the Eastern Cape Department of Health.

abstract: ABSTRACT
Academic literature and industry benchmarking reports were reviewed to determine the way facilities benchmarking reports were perceived in the healthcare industry. Interviews were conducted through a Delphi panel of industry professionals who met experience and other credential requirements. Two separate rounds of interviewing were conducted where each candidate was asked the same questions to determine the current views of benchmarking reports and associated data in the healthcare industry. The questions asked in the second round were developed from the answers to the first-round questions. The research showed the panel preferred changes in the data collection methods as well as changes in the way the data is presented. The need for these changes was unanimous among the members of the panel. The main recommendations among the group were:
1. An interactive method such as a member portal with the ability to customize, run scenarios, and save data is the preferred method.
2. Facilities Management (FM) teams are often not included in the data collection of the benchmark reports. Including FM groups would allow more accuracy and more detailed data resulting in more accurate and in-depth reports.
3. More consistency and “apples to apples” comparisons need to be provided in the reports. More categories and variables need to be added to the reports to offer more in depth comparisons and assessments between buildings. Identifiers to help the users compare the physical condition of their facility to others needs to be included. Suggestions are as follows:
a. Facility Condition Index (FCI)- easily available to all participants and allows an idea of the comparison of upkeep and maintenance of their facility to that of others.
b. An indicator on whether the comparison buildings are Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) accredited.
4. Gross Square Footage (GSF) is not an accurate assessment on its own. Too many variables are left unidentified to offer an accurate assessment with this method alone.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Masters Thesis Construction Management 2020

In every nation, it is important that the higher education system fulfils the community expectation for perceived quality. One aspect of improving quality is to adopt a better funding strategy for the facilities that are provided by a university. This chapter focuses on the funding strategy for Egyptian universities. The chapter provides the background to the problem distinguishing between private and public universities thenceforward describes the process, employing the causal diagrams, to prioritise the six most important facility services. The budgeting for these services are individually modelled (using both the qualitative and quantitative system dynamics) and then incorporated into a combined stock and flow model. The models allow a facility service administrator to optimise spending in a particular area and also to rank the spending between the six facilities. The models for private and public universities have the same structure but differ with the data. Results of the analysis are discussed in detail.

Full textAbstract:
It’s important to understand the finances of colleges and universities, budgeting, and sources and uses of funding. Costs at colleges and universities are increasing for a variety of reasons. Some costs involve facilities intended to attract talent, both in terms of faculty and students. Many costs involve people who do not teach, such as administrators. These individuals are doing work that is either required (government compliance) or expected (student mental health or career counseling). So, it is a stretch to sustain the argument that rising costs in higher education are singularly a function of unnecessary layers of administration. Many universities are using innovative approaches to cut costs and improve revenue streams to their institutions.

It is clear that the modern role of both the physicians, in general, and psychiatrists, in particular, requires intensive decision-making which is helped by management principles. Psychiatrists, in addition to their clinical qualifications and skills are asked to occupy positions and undertake responsibilities as clinical executives, directors of health care facilities, administrators of Academic units and even Mental Health Commissioners, all of them requiring managerial knowledge and leadership qualities. Increased pressure by patients for improved quality of services and access to new and innovative treatments needs to be balanced against the expectation of the health care system of the physician to act ‘economically’, following cost containment guidelines and staying within expenditure ceilings. Such decisions require specialized knowledge and a deep understanding of the principles and the functions of management and health economics. Such knowledge is only gained through specialized training by introducing management teaching, either at the undergraduate level or preferably at the residency level, as part of the core curriculum or as an elective which may include items such as administration principles, quality assurance, budgeting, resource allocation, accreditation procedures and what is close to the psychiatrist's clinical background the personnel management. This may be extended to ongoing professional education programmes for psychiatrists who are already active in the field.

The machine performance will be subjected to continuous deterioration over the time mainly due to wear and tear. The machine and its components are to be protected from downtime by means of lubrication/greasing, regular inspection and systematic maintenance. A major part of the expenditure is generally on the men, material and maintenance in an industry. Maintenance activities involve costs associated with them and thus they affect the return on investments and production costs throughout the lifespan of the industry. A significant savings in money, material and manpower can be achieved through a systematic maintenance as its main purpose is to immediately and easily detect any existing defects without causing extensive damage to the plant. To make the maintenance system effective, it is essential to keep track of all the information related to maintenance and use them for better decision making. Maintenance management can be considered as the direction and organization of resources in order to control the availability and performance of industrial plant to some specified level. . A good maintenance management system makes equipment and facilities available. The Maintenance Management Information System provides timely and accurate information to assist the management in key functions such as planning, organizing, budgeting, directing and controlling the maintenance activities. The current business activities involve very complex mechanisms which are to be effectively handled by the organizations for their survival and growth. It is vital for every organization to have a competent and effective Management Information System to improve its productivity. It empowers the maintenance manager to achieve his tasks productively. The Maintenance Management Information System is a fragment of the total Management Information System.

PYXERA Global facilitates partnerships between public, private, and social sectors worldwide to create social impact projects that enrich lives and livelihoods, inclusively and sustainably. A nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., PYXERA Global has worked in over 90 countries—navigating economic, geographic, and political realities to find common ground between corporations, development agencies, governments, and nongovernmental organizations. In 2017, PYXERA Global opted to revitalize performance management (PM) practices. Previously “one size fits all,” goals were organized around operational efficiency, which ensured that staff followed consistent rules of engagement in getting the work done. Missing in the process were the organization’s three Strategic Pillars—Smart Growth, Impact, and Influence—which aligned daily work with the organization’s mission. By explicitly incorporating the pillars (the “what”) with mission- and client-centered imperatives, senior leaders shifted the paradigm. Similarly, replacing conventional competencies with Organizational Imperatives focused on the “how” to achieve goals. After 1 year of the new practice, staff reported deeper and more personal connections to what work gets done and how. Often cited is the Organizational Imperative, “No money, no mission,” a well-described imperative for employees that was disconnected from day-to-day activity. That imperative became an umbrella for financial responsibility at all levels; employees are clearer how budgeting is core to impactful engagements for clients, that attending to cost requirements and expense overruns reflects the staff’s commitment to the financial well-being of the organization. In addition, staff report having regular conversations about performance, solving problems, and removing obstacles and giving and receiving feedback more often.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A coating maintenance strategy for aging military infrastructure and utilities systems is vital for the long-term performance of the asset. Integrity maintenance plans can enhance risk mitigation and mitigate costly environmental impacts. No well-developed maintenance strategy is complete without the implementation of periodic coating inspection and assessments, collectively referred to as Coating Condition Surveys (CCS), guided by United Facilities Criteria (UFC) and United Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). Regularly scheduled CCSs provide key information that not only helps owners better understand their assets, but also help engineers, specifiers, coatings applicators, and inspectors better perform their roles in corrosion mitigation. Additionally, the information provided by a CCS aids owners in making budgeting decisions for maintenance, helps designers plan for future repairs and inspections, and provides coatings contractors a clear understanding of the repairs necessary to extend the service life of an asset. This discussion will outline methods involved in performing on-site inspections and highlight the necessity of on-site inspections in corrosion mitigation. While this discussion will focus on inspection and repair strategies for existing coatings on steel substrates, the strategies outlined can be applied to enhance maintenance strategies of all infrastructure subject to corrosion.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Planning and budgeting of industrial maintenance painting has, historically, been a somewhat arbitrary process. Because the technical and commercial bases for budgetary projections tend to be founded on insufficient hard data, painting programs are not well suited to compete for available maintenance funds. The data management capabilities afforded by today’s desktop computers, however, provide a vehicle for accurately projecting future maintenance painting expenditures. A blueprint is presented outlining a Maintenance Painting Program founded on a survey of existing facilities. The survey is necessary to "baseline" the present coating condition so that informed decisions can be made regarding maintenance needs. Raw cost data reflective of a proposed set of maintenance specifications can then be efficiently combined with database survey information to compute appropriate expenditures over a multi-year plan. The microcomputer is a powerful tool, allowing budget funds to be reallocated and adjusted with ease. The database provides a repository for tracking actual cost experience.

In early 1997, Lakehead Pipe Line Company, Inc. (LPL) purchased the Hartsdale Terminal to better serve customers in the Chicago area by providing additional crude oil storage facilities. This terminal is located adjacent to Lakehead’s Griffith, Indiana Terminal and consists of nine crude oil tanks totaling 900,000 barrels of storage capacity. All nine of the Hartsdale tanks were constructed in 1956, are 134 ft. in diameter, and are open top with double deck style floaters. This report describes the integrity analysis of the facility and the corresponding maintenance plan that was developed. The analysis portion of this report describes the inspections that were done on the tanks, covering aspects such as weld spacing; tank settlement; interior and exterior coating failure; tank shell, bottom, and pontoon corrosion; seal wear and performance; roof drain integrity; and other OSHA and API mandates. The resulting maintenance plan is approximately a five-year window and is currently in its first year. The five-year duration was based on issues both operational and financial. A portion of the discussion is focused on the challenge of combining these two components into an overall comprehensive plan. In addition, aspects affecting the maintenance plan such as risk assessment, OSHA and API standards, and budgeting issues are described.

Abstract The development of marginal fields with limited budgets necessitates effective well cost management, beginning with cost estimation for investment decision-making, continuing through cost estimation for corporate budgeting, evaluation of cost-saving potentials through well plan optimization, and well cost monitoring during operation. This paper describes the implementation of advanced methodologies utilizing digital tools to modernize the well construction cost management workflow, adopted by an operator in Malaysia. The application's flexible architecture facilitates a scalable workflow to meet the company's cost estimation standards, in which each front-end stage requires a different level of input granularity depending primarily on the quality of information available to assemble the estimate. This approach effectively indicates the variance in the expected well cost at every stage throughout the data maturation. The probabilistic cost estimation incorporates the assessment of operational risks and performance through offset well information extracted from the daily operation database. During the operation phase, the final well cost estimate model serves as the baseline for well cost tracking, where executed activity is benchmarked against the plan. This allows monitoring of time and cost variations, as well as the generation of a comprehensive lookahead for measuring the campaign performance. The operator's transition to the digital well cost platform in 2021 marked a departure from conventional spreadsheets and standalone applications. This cloud-based solution improves data management and facilitates collaboration among finance analysts, cost controllers, drilling and completion engineers, and managers. Cloud computing efficiency transformed hours-long Monte Carlo probabilistic computations to seconds, enabling more effective cost planning through what-if scenarios and sensitivity analyses, thus streamlining decision-making, especially when well plans or batch operation sequences change. The offset wells data analytics model provides precise predictions of performance and common risks captured in historical non-productive time (NPT) events. This transformation allowed for detailed operational time and cost tracking, closely monitoring deviations from the plan due to operational factors like performance, plan changes, or the execution of improvement plans during operation, aiding in the generation of accurate lookahead projections, identifying lessons learned and cost-saving opportunities. Through effective cost management, the company successfully generated accurate estimates of expected costs, achieving up to 95% accuracy when no major scope changes occur. The operational excellence was recognized with industry awards, highlighting achievements in the lowest cost per foot in drilling and completions in the years 2022 and 2023. This paper presents a case study on a two-year implementation of improved well cost management by an operator. Through cloud-native collaborative software, the operator achieved higher confidence in cost estimates, improved cost control, and enhanced assurance that operation cost tracking is based on valid measures.

Full textAbstract:
The subsurface exploration for geotechnical engineering applications in Sri Lanka is mainly based on borehole investigations. Several leading geotechnical engineering companies in the country have already done more than a couple of thousands of subsurface investigations for small- and large-scale civil engineering projects. Even though project-wise subsurface information is available, integration of available subsurface data in proximity, and development of subsurface three-dimensional (3D) models can hardly be seen in the country. This has been a significant disadvantage in the cost and planning of large-scale new investigation projects. Due to lack of information, most of the projects start even without knowing the tentative bedrock level of the area. Hence, in investigation cost estimations, pricing for most of the items is recorded as “rate-only”, hence the total cost could immensely be higher than the available budget with the client. However, if 3D modelling of subsurface strata can be done area-wise, based on already available borehole data, such uncertainties could be minimized. In this research, more than a thousand subsurface investigation reports were reviewed; data were recorded and analysed targeting to interpret the subsurface of the western province of Sri Lanka, and to develop a 3D subsurface model for the same. However, scattered data had to be excluded in data analysis, and eventually, the study was confined to Colombo and Gampaha districts, in which more than sufficient data could be found. By using interpolation methods, surface strata were interpreted in between borehole locations by matching similar geological features. In addition, artificial neural networks were used to forecast borehole data in exceptional cases for a few locations. This helped to improve the spatial coverage and accuracy of the 3D model developed by means of “Surfer” software. The 3D model developed for the study area well demonstrates the subsurface strata and facilitates taking of cross sections in any direction within minutes. Hence, the findings of this research will enhance the outcome of general geotechnical investigation practice in Sri Lanka. This will also be immensely beneficial in planning and budgeting of future large-scale geotechnical investigation projects, more accurately than in the past, saving energy and time.
