PurposeThis study aims to discuss the challenges in implementing halal warehouse in the air cargo context along with the standard handling process for the storage of halal product for import and export purposes. This is vital to ensure that halal products do not get contaminated and should comply to halal logistics standard throughout the supply chain process.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory study adopts single case study to better understand the definition of halal warehouse, the challenges in implementing halal warehouse and also the standard handling process for the storage at the warehouse for import and export purposes. A well-guided case study protocol is followed.FindingsFive categories have found to be the main challenges in implementing halal warehouse. They are coded as halal product trade, halal asset and facility, halal standard of procedure, human factor and perspectives between logistics provider and halal agencies. With regard to standard handling process for import and export purposes in airgo context with compliance toShariahat the halal warehouse, there are seven main steps involved for import and nine steps involved for export.Research limitations/implicationsAs this paper is among the pioneer study that looks into halal warehouse implementation, it has some limitations. Further empirical study in a bigger context may be performed quantitatively, and multiple case study approach may also be adopted to get deeper insight in understanding halal warehouse implementation domain of study.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to the understanding on the gap in the field with adhering or complying with the practice. It will provide input to the authority in understanding the current limitation and suggestion by the practicing companies.Social implicationsHalal requirement in non-Muslim countries are not very well implemented and understood, whereby the understanding of the concept of Halalal Toyyiban throughout the supply chain process is critical. The main aim of halal logistics is to avoid cross contamination between halal and non-halal product during the transport, at the storage in warehouse and also in handling. This study contributes to the understanding of halal warehouse implementation.Originality/valueThere is a critical dearth of academic study that focuses on halal logistics specifically in transport and warehouse. This empirical case study provides basic understanding of implementing halal warehouse and presents the challenges and also required guidelines in handling halal product at the warehouse for both import and export purposes.

Abstract: PM2,5 as one of the air pollutions parameters can be derived from burning wood. Negative impact from PM2,5 exposure on health are impaired lung function. This study was conducted to analyze characteristics, behaviors, lung function of workers and PM2,5 concentration in cecek home industry Katerungan Village, Krian District of Sidoarjo Regency. This research used cross sectional design with total population, 10 workers. Indoor PM2,5 concentration in production area and warehouse space were measured using EPAM 5000 and workers lung function was measured using spirometry test. Individual characteristics and behaviors of workers were analysed using descriptive quantitatively to lung function. Individual characteristics variable consists of age, job tenure, medical history and BMI. Behavioral variables focus on smoking habit. The result of this research showed that PM 2.5 concentration in production area and warehouse space still under the environmental quality standards (< 10 mg/m3). 40% workers in production area and 80% workers in warehouse space got impaired lung function. We can conclude that impaired lung function of workers in cecek home industry Katerungan Village, Krian District of Sidoarjo Regency is not caused of PM2,5 exposure, but job tenure, medical history, BMI, smoking habit for more than 5 years and more than 1 pack per day. Impaired lung function more likely happen to worker with job tenure more than 5 years, having historical respiration disease, having wasted nutritional status and have been smoked more than 5 years and more than 1 pack per day. The suggestion is that workers with impaired lung function should have advanced diagnosis and therapy. For the owner of a home industry, should require his workers wearing masks at work place.Keywords: PM2,5, lung function, cecek home industry

The storage process, in some way, has a direct influence on the production and status of the derived final product. It was possible to verify in this case study that the storage system of the company is deficient, needing improvements, especially when entering the raw material for production. Such problems, such as impurities, broken and burned grains, are generated in the warehouse itself, due to lack of prudence and coordination. Findings that contradict the objective of storage that is the conservation of the particularities of the grains and that may detract from the attributes of the end product in terms of taste, physical and chemical characteristics and visual conditions. Among the possible causes of the disturbances are the lack of maintenance of the machines, inefficient aeration and thermometry gauging. As a suggestion, besides the improvements on the mentioned problems, the implantation of management and strategy of inventories, of programs and quality control, development of the producing agents, planning and methods of solution of problems. The decline in the quality of the raw material, corn, can result in chain effect, damaging the final product, thus damaging the financial results of the organization.

Although accounting information systems (AIS) are an important source of information for strategic development, the systems possess overriding limitations. Data Warehousing (DW) has emerged as an important tool to overcome these limitations by making use of existing data storage and database management technologies to organize the storage of relevant corporate data spanning several sources and time periods into one central location. Because DW projects are risky and expensive undertakings, however, care must be taken in their planning and development. This paper includes recommendations for the successful implementation of a DW project, addressing effectiveness, efficiency, and security issues.

Formulation of the problem. Minimizing the consequences of fires is the problem of particular importance for the cities of Ukraine. Closed and open warehouses in industrial enterprises are the buildings of the highest risk. Due to the results of the analysis, the problem is that insufficient consideration is given to the provision of fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities. Proceeding from the above it is possible to state that the elaboration of the main directions of provision of fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities is very important. The goal of the work. To develop a methodology for providing fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities taking into account the fire risk. Tasks setting and their solution. To ensure the fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities, the following tasks must be addressed as a priority: 1) to develop a classification of industrial warehouse facilities for the possible grouping of fire-prevention means for protection of such facilities during fires; 2) to develop mathematical dependencies for determining the required number of fire-prevention means for industrial warehouse facilities; 3) to develop a methodology for providing fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities taking into account the fire risk. To solve the first problem, recommendations were taken into account, on the basis of which the scheme of classification of industrial warehouse facilities was developed. In order to solve the second task in the first stage, all necessary fire protection facilities were determined to ensure the fire safety of industrial warehouse facilities. After accepting all necessary fire-fighting equipment for the provision of fire safety of industrial warehouse facilities, mathematical dependencies have been developed to determine their required quantity. To solve the third task the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated February 29, 2012, № 306 was used. Taking into account the above mentioned fire protection systems, mathematical models of fire risk calculation for closed, semi-closed and open industrial and warehouse facilities were developed. Conclusions and specific suggestions: 1. The mathematical models of fire risks for closed, semi-closed and open industrial warehouse facilities are given, which make it possible to develop a methodology for determining the optimal amount of fire-fighting equipment and thereby provide fire protection for these objects. 2. To optimize the choice of the required number of fire-fighting equipment, it is necessary to establish an optimization criterion that would be based on the determined direct losses from the fire, expenses of the fire and rescue units for the elimination of fire and expenses for fire protection. 3. The developed mathematical models of fire risks require further improvement with the aim of their introduction and use on the basis of information technologies. These models allow to take all necessary measures for providing fire safety during the audit of closed, semi-closed and open industrial warehouse facilities.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents the effect, in terms of travel distance and material handling time reductions, of an optimal rather than a uniform item allocation in one-block picking warehouses, both with and without the use of a simple picking heuristic. Since developing efficient product-location strategies represents a critical issue in Operations Management, due to the impact on warehouse performance in terms of both service level and operation costs, this paper focuses on an effective quantification of obtainable travel time reductions, obtaining a significant result for manufacturing companies aiming to determine the most appropriate material handling resource configuration. Building on previous work on the effect of slot-code optimization on travel times in single/dual command cycles, the authors broaden the scope to include the most general picking case, thus widening the range of applicability and realising former suggestions for future research.

Formulation of the problem. In the field of fire safety, the term "fire risk" is used, ie it is a measure of the possibility of realizing the fire danger of the objects of protection and its consequences for people and material values. Safeguarding the fire safety of security objects consists of identifying, analyzing and evaluating fire risk, which allows the development and implementation of appropriate measures to reduce it to an acceptable level. The most dangerous fires are fires in open warehouses of production facilities. In most cases, such fires, if not detected early, have time to spread over large areas and cause material damage. In most cases, fire protection at the open warehouses of production facilities, taking into account the fire risk, is practically non-existent. Therefore, investigating the issue of fire safety at these sites, taking into account the fire risk and the use of automatic fire alarms and fire alarm systems, is an urgent and timely task.The goal of the work. Develop a methodology for providing fire safety for open warehouses of manufacturing facili-ties, taking into account fire risk and using automatic fire alarms and alerts.Fire Safety, №36, 2020 39Formulation of the problem and its solution. The task of determining the area of service for fire detectors and detec-tors in open warehouses of production facilities was set and solved. In addition, dependencies were obtained to determine the components of fire risk. An example of determining fire risk for open timber composition was then considered. The results of the calculations performed for the above example confirmed the reliability of the developed methodology of en-suring fire safety for open warehouses of production facilities.Conclusions and specific suggestions:1. A methodology for ensuring fire safety for open warehouses of production facilities was developed, taking into account the fire risk and thereby ensuring the inadmissibility of serious consequences from the fire for the working warehouse.2. The following set of fire protection systems and systems provides acceptable fire risk for the object of protection for up to 10 years of their operation. Therefore, the arrangement of open warehouses with such fire-fighting equipment and systems is mandatory.3. The dependencies developed to determine the components of fire risk were based on the basic principles of the theory of reliability and showed high reliability and adequacy with the true values considered in the example.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore warehouse configuration in omni-channel retailing. Design/methodology/approach A multiple case study is conducted with six large omni-channel retailers from three different sectors. Findings The study shows an increase in the number, variation and frequency of flows passing through omni-channel warehouses. Along with an increased variety of stock keeping units (including singles vs multipacks), there is an increase in the complexity of planning and coordination of order fulfillment. Retailers test a mix of different solutions for storage and picking and partly shift focus to advanced sorting operations. The companies already have or plan to invest in substantial automation systems, which emphasize the importance of capturing and using accurate master data. Research limitations/implications The study highlights the need to understand the interrelations and co-development of configuration elements in omni-channel warehousing. The findings also suggest that a successful transformation requires increased collaboration with upstream and downstream partners. Conceptual models are developed to illustrate strategies and development paths in omni-channel warehousing, and suggestions for future research are summarized in a research agenda. A research limitation is the focus on Swedish retailers in three sectors (fashion, consumer electronics and DIY/construction material). Future studies can include additional sectors, extend the geographical scope and explore cross-regional differences. Practical implications As one of the few deeper case studies on omni-channel warehousing, practitioners will find new configurations described and analyzed here. Along with conceptual models, a synthesis of challenges and potential solutions are presented to support retailers’ practical analysis and decision making. Originality/value This is one of the first multiple case studies that go deeper into omni-channel warehouse configuration, which is of increasing importance to both scholars and practitioners in the field.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate an original decision-support tool (DST) that aids 3PL managers to decide on the proper warehouse management system (WMS) customization. The aim of this tool is to address to the three main issues affecting such decision: the cost of the information sharing, the scarce visibility of the client’s data and the uncertainty of quantifying the return from investing into a WMS feature.Design/methodology/approachThe tool behaves as a digital twin of a WMS. In addition, it incorporates a set of WMS’s features based both on heuristics and optimization techniques and uses simulation to perform what-if multi-scenario analyses of alternative management scenarios. In order to validate the effectiveness of the tool, its application to a real-world 3PL warehouse operating in the sector of biomedical products is illustrated.FindingsThe results of a simulation campaign along an observation horizon of ten months demonstrate how the tool supports the comparison of alternative scenarios with theas-is, thereby suggesting the most suitable WMS customization to adopt.Practical implicationsThe tool supports 3PL managers in enhancing the efficiency of the operations and the fulfilling of the required service level, which is increasingly challenging given the large inventory mix and the variable clients portfolio that 3PLs have to manage. Particularly, the choice of the WMS customization that better perform with each business can be problematic, given the scarce information visibility of the provider on the client’s processes.Originality/valueTo the author’s knowledge, this paper is among the first to address a still uncovered gap of the warehousing literature by illustrating a DST that exploits optimization and simulation techniques to quantify the impacts of the information availability on the warehousing operations performance. As a second novel contribution, this tool enables to create a digital twin of a WMS and foresee the evolution of the warehouse’s performance over time.

Full textAbstract:
Problem definition: We bound the value of collaboration in a decentralized multisupplier multiretailer setting, where several suppliers ship to several retailers through a shared warehouse, and outbound trucks from the warehouse contain the products of multiple suppliers. Academic/practical relevance: In an emerging trend in the grocery industry, multiple suppliers and retailers share a warehouse to facilitate horizontal collaboration, lower transportation costs, and increase delivery frequencies. Thus far, these so-called mixing and consolidation centers are operated in a decentralized manner, with little effort to coordinate shipments from multiple suppliers with shipments to multiple retailers. Facilitating collaboration in this setting would be challenging (both technically and in terms of the level of trust that would be necessary), so it is useful to understand the potential gains of collaboration. Methodology: We extend the classic one-warehouse multiretailer analysis to incorporate multiple suppliers and per-truck outbound transportation cost from the warehouse and develop a cost lower bound on centralized operation as benchmark. We then analyze decentralized versions of the system, in which each retailer and each supplier maximizes his or her own utility in a variety of settings, and we analytically bound the ratio of the cost of decentralized to centralized operation to bound the loss resulting from decentralization. Results: We find analytical bounds on the performance of several decentralized policies. The best, a decentralized zero-inventory ordering policy, has a cost ratio when compared with a lower bound on the centralized policy of no more than 3/2. In computational studies, we find that costs of decentralized policies are even closer to those of centralized policies. Managerial implications: Easy-to-implement decentralized policies are efficient and effective in this setting, suggesting that centralization (and thus a potentially complex and expensive coordination effort) is unlikely to result in significant benefits.

Full textAbstract:
One of the frequently occurring tasks during the development of warehouse management systems is the implementation of routing algorithms of some kind. Whether it is for routing workers during order picking, delivery vehicles or company representatives, this task has proven to be challenging in the technical as well as the social sense. In other words, the task is heavily dependent on various general and company-specific constraints and it directly dictates the way employees should do their job. This paper describes a strategic approach to the development and gradual integration of such algorithms which makes sure that all constraints are satisfied and, more importantly, ensures that route suggestions are viewed by the employees as a helpful tool rather than a threat to their job. In the first part of this paper, the approach is described and evaluated on a warehouse representative routing problem through a real-world case study in a medium-to-large warehouse. In the second part, the same approach is adapted to a delivery vehicle routing problem for a smaller retailer company. In both cases, routing efficiency almost doubled in comparison to previous approaches used by the companies. The most important factors of the implementation and integration stages as well as the impact of the changes on employee satisfaction are aggregated, analysed in detail, and discussed throughout different stages of development.

This research aims to analyze the work procedures contained in the activity of spare part issuance and provide suggestions for improvement for the work procedures for spare part storage. The data used is the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for spare part expenditure as well as existing problems. The problem that occurs is that the storage work process in the spare part warehouse does not yet have a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and the work process for the removal of spare parts is not carried out in accordance with existing procedures. That caused a difference in the actual amount of stock with the system. The problem in the storage process is that spare parts are not stored in accordance with the storage location and for the warehouse worker expenditure process does not use the Proof of Request for Goods (BPB) or related documents. The cause of the problem was analyzed using the fishbone diagram method with several factors, namely human, method, environment, machine and material factors and used a questionnaire to determine the potential root causes of the problem. For proposed improvements using the 5W + 1H method. Based on the results of the analysis of the 5W + 1H method, the proposed improvement is in the form of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for storing spare parts and making the identity of each spare part that is stored.

Purpose The square root law (SRL) is a popular model for assessing inventory levels when changing the number of warehouses. Previous empirical research, however, has shown that mostly its underlying assumptions do not hold in practice. This sparks the question how inaccurate the SRL’s results are. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach In 26 company cases of reducing the number of warehouses, the estimation error of the SRL is analysed irrespective of its underlying assumptions. Findings The analysis reveals an average estimation error for total inventory of 27.85 per cent (median=27.84 per cent), but a high variability across the cases. The SRL seems to mostly overestimate inventory savings from centralisation and inventory increases from decentralisation. Managers should only use the SRL if inventory depends on the number of warehouses in their situation, i.e. if they use the economic order or production quantity policy and safety factor approach. Suggestions for coping with the SRL’s estimation error are given. Research limitations/implications This paper is based on the 26 cases that could be found in a thorough literature review in the ten most widely spoken languages and that contained or allowed to deduce the necessary information. In order to enable wider generalisations, this sample could be extended. Originality/value Most past research has been more theoretical in nature. This research is the first to investigate the SRL’s estimation error using a variety of company cases and how to cope with this error.

Full textAbstract:
This research presents a control structure for an omni-wheel mobile robot (OWMR). The control structure includes the path planning module and the motion control module. In order to secure the robustness and fast control performance required in the operating environment of OWMR, a bio-inspired control method, brain limbic system (BLS)-based control, was applied. Based on the derived OWMR kinematic model, a motion controller was designed. Additionally, an optimal path planning module is suggested by combining the advantages of A* algorithm and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). In order to verify the performance of the proposed motion control strategy and path planning algorithm, numerical simulations were conducted. Through a point-to-point movement task, circular path tracking task, and randomly moving target tracking task, it was confirmed that the suggesting motion controller is superior to the existing controllers, such as PID. In addition, A*–FAHP was applied to the OWMR to verify the performance of the proposed path planning algorithm, and it was simulated based on the static warehouse environment, dynamic warehouse environment, and autonomous ballet parking scenarios. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm generates the optimal path in a short time without collision with stop and moving obstacles.

Full textAbstract:
The London Ear Festival is a small contemporary chamber music festival in London, now in its fourth edition. The festival is centred on the venues of the Cello Factory (its festival hub) and the Warehouse, near Waterloo. Despite its centrality and accessibility, the festival maintains a community and village feel: a sort of musical oasis. This year's festival, running 9–13 March, was timetabled against a number of other notable concerts in London – not least those celebrating Michael Finnissy's seventieth year – and so can be commended on its ability to draw audiences despite this clash, suggesting, perhaps, that it is genuinely offering something musically different and desirable.

Many websites now warehouse instructional materials designed to be taught by teachers in a traditional classroom. What are the potential benefits of the new resources? We analyze an experiment in which we randomly give middle school math teachers access to existing high-quality, off-the-shelf lessons, and in some cases, support to promote their use. Teachers receiving access alone increased students’ math achievement by a marginally significant 0.06 of a standard deviation. Teachers who received access and support increased students’ math achievement by 0.09 of a standard deviation. Weaker teachers experience larger gains, suggesting that these lessons substitute for teacher skill or efforts. The online materials are more scalable and cost effective than most policies aimed at improving teacher quality, suggesting that, if search costs can be overcome, there is a real benefit to making high-quality instructional materials available to teachers on the Internet.

Abstract. A smoke plume, coming from an accidental fire in a textile warehouse in the north of Paris, covered a significant part of the Paris area on 17 April 2015 and seriously impacted the visibility over the megalopolis. This exceptional event was sampled with an automatic N2 Raman lidar, which operated 15 km south of Paris. The industrial pollution episode was concomitant with the long-range transport of dust aerosols originated from the Sahara, and with the presence of an extended stratus cloud cover. The analysis of the ground-based lidar profiles therefore required the development of an original inversion algorithm, using a top-down aerosol optical thickness matching (TDAM) approach. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first lidar measurement of a fresh smoke plume, emitted only a few hours after an accidental warehouse fire. Vertical profiles of the aerosol extinction coefficient, depolarization ratio, and lidar ratio are derived to optically characterize the aerosols that form the plume. We found a lidar ratio close to 50±10 sr for this fire smoke aerosol layer. The particle depolarization ratio is low, ∼1±0.1 %, suggesting the presence of either small particles or spherical hydrated aerosols in that layer. A Monte Carlo algorithm was used to assess the uncertainties on the optical parameters and to evaluate the TDAM algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
In planning the museum in the medieval Synagogue in Erfurt more than 10 years ago, there was one big problem: the building had gone through many changes over the centuries, which wiped out almost all traces of the synagogue’s use. The Bimah was destroyed, presumably during the pogrom on 21 March 1349. By converting the former synagogue into a warehouse (following the pogrom), a big gateway was inserted into the eastern wall, at the place of the former Torah Ark. Only the light cornice is still recognizable on the synagogue’s walls. To find an adequate solution for displaying the vanished Torah Ark in the Old Synagogue in Erfurt, we compared examples in other locations in Europe, suggesting the presentation eventually chosen for the Old Synagogue of Erfurt.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The general directions of the organization’s development should be clearly formulated, i.e., a business strategy should be developed in order to achieve the long-term competitive advantages in the operation of a pharmaceutical distributor with its own pharmacy warehouse in Russia.
 AIM: Identification of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the operation of a pharmaceutical distributor with its own pharmacy warehouse.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The SWOT analysis was used to analyze the environment, which enabled a joint study of the external and internal environment. During the study, content analysis of secondary sources of information was used (data from the Federal State Statistics Service, DSM Group marketing agency), as well as sociological analysis.
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: During the SWOT analysis, ten factors were identified that ensured the normal functioning of the pharmaceutical distributor, as well as 11 negative factors were identified that negatively affected the operation of the pharmacy warehouse. The article presents qualitative description of the strengths and weaknesses. Ten factors were attributed to the favorable opportunities for the organization’s activities; seven positions were considered as threats to the activities of the distributor. It should be noted that all factors of external environment are in a state of strong mutual influence. A change in one of the factors necessarily leads to a change in other factors. Therefore, their study and analysis should not be carried out separately, but systematically, with tracking not only the actual changes in one factor but also the process how these changes will affect other factors. After identifying strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, a table was compiled and all intersections were analyzed, i.e., all possible pairwise combinations that would help determining the future strategy. At present, the strategic goal of a number of wholesale companies in the pharmaceutical market is defined as increasing return on investment.
 CONCLUSION: In this article, SWOT analysis has been used to provide some suggestions on overcoming weaknesses and threats in the activities of a pharmaceutical distributor, as well as on proper use of strengths and opportunities. During the study, pharmaceutical industry practitioners discussed the impact of various economic factors, strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats regarding the activities of pharmaceutical distributor, as well as related problems and prospects for the future.

Most modern production and storage facilities are fire hazardous. A large area, a large fire load, the use of technologies with high temperatures, contributes to the rapid development of fire in a short period of time over a large area. The current direction of providing the fire safety system at the enterprises is to eliminate the conditions of rapid development of the fire and minimize its consequences through the use of fire curtains.
 Develop a method for determining the optimum dimensions of the enclosed volume of a closed warehouse facility by using fire-proof curtains to limit the rate of fire spread.
 To provide fire protection for warehouse facilities, the following tasks must be addressed first and foremost
 
 to investigate the process of fire spread in enclosed premises at production and storage facilities;
 to develop a method of determining the optimal size of the volume of premises, closed production facilities and to investigate the impact of the use of fire curtains on the speed of fire.
 
 In order to solve the first problem, materials were stored in the production and storage facilities, the combustion of which was accompanied by a thermal decomposition with the release of gaseous combustion products. The rate of burning of solid materials depends not only on the physical nature of the material, but also on the location of the fire load structure. In addition, the rate of burnout indoors differs from the rate of burnout in open space.
 Two modes of development of combustion of materials in a room are possible: 1) with the presence of sufficient amount of air (oxygen), that is, the resulting fire is regulated by the fire load; 2) with insufficient air (oxygen), that is, the resulting fire is regulated by ventilation.
 Indoors in real conditions, the first mode of fire gradually goes into the second, and after reaching the temperature in the room at which the windows are destroyed, the gas exchange process becomes two-sided and the fire goes to the first mode.
 To solve the second problem, a method of determining the optimal size of the volume of premises, closed production and storage facilities was developed.
 Conclusions and specific suggestions:
 
 The number of sheltered volumes of storage facilities and their optimal area depends on the storage area of the equipment and equipment not protected from free spread of fire.
 The accuracy of determining the optimal area of fire depends on the accepted probability of hit points to be within the range of acceptable solutions of the optimization problem.
 The presence of a protected volume of storage facilities reduces the rate of fire spread by 1.8 times.
 In the protected volume of the room with fire curtains on the roof of the warehouse it is necessary to arrange 3-piece air-exhaust lights to remove smoke in case of fire.

Considering the complexity of workflow in distribution center and the ability of simulation for analysis and optimization of such systems, the application of simulation technology in distribution center is researched in this paper. Taking the distribution center of J mall for example, the third distribution mode of the mall is studied, which procures goods from many suppliers and stores in its own warehouse, then delivers them to the customers according to the different orders. Through the analysis of the Flexsim simulation software, the problems existing in the distribution center are found. And according to the analysis, the improvement suggestions are given and verified by simulation. By comparing the simulation results, it can be concluded that the waiting wastes in receiving area, temporary storage and dispatch area are decreased, and the average utilization rates of the stations become more appropriate. Finally, the output quantities of dispatch area are increased and the efficiency of distribution center is improved.

Abstract Awareness of turnaround times (TATs) is important for time-sensitive clinical decision making and setting expectations for timing communications with patients. In fact, a significant number of clinicians consider the TAT as the most important measure of laboratory quality (PMID 24839360). TAT definitions vary considerably, ranging from rough estimates to more precisely defined statistics based on historical data, the former more typically provided in online test catalogs and the latter usually reserved for a limited number of tests for internal quality assurance and improvement. As data warehousing of laboratory information is becoming more commonplace, calculation of TATs can more easily be performed. Our goal in this project was to develop a generalized, automated approach to calculate expected TATs for publication in our online test catalog. We began by defining TAT as the amount of time between receipt of the specimen by the laboratory and the reporting of the finalized result in the laboratory information system (using specimen collection time increased median TATs by 21 minutes). The TAT of an order set/panel of tests was calculated using the time stamp of the last finalized test result of the set. For development purposes, a subset of warehouse data corresponding to all tests within a 1-month period was selected (170,363 accession numbers, 2,206,311 total test results). All accessions with “add-on requests” (tests requested by physicians using specimens collected for prior tests) were removed. The median and 90th percentile TATs were calculated using R for each test and panel, as these values are commonly used in quality assurance programs and are thought to be intuitively easy to understand in a test menu. Values were not reported if fewer than 100 test results were available for a given test. A summary table and TAT distribution graphs are provided for review by laboratory personnel before being published in the online test menu. Categorizing tests ordered “stat” versus “nonstat” generated some interesting insights, the most obvious being that, for the majority of our tests, the difference in median TATs is very small. In some cases, however, the median stat TAT was actually longer (eg, hemoglobin A1C), which might be due to blood draws at irregular hours by phlebotomists, then batching of samples with specimens collected later at regular blood draw times, suggesting that elimination of the stat option was appropriate. Distinct advantages of using data warehouses to calculate TATs include being able to provide clinicians with data-driven estimates of expected lab result TATs. Such data can also be used for internal quality assurance purposes. Areas of further development include developing a more rigorous mathematical theory of the precision associated with our median and 90th percentile TATs and tuning the frequency of data query and TAT recalculation.

The purpose of the article is to identify the main directions of improvement of the network of institutions of general secondary education in rural areas on the example of Ukraine. The authors developed an algorithm for research, consisting of four stages. During the study, the preconditions for forming a network of rural schools were considered. The following network parameters such as warehouse, spatial structure are found. Based on the analysis of modern socio-pedagogical requirements, the concept of promising organization of school services in rural areas has been developed. It is established that in conditions of rural settlements, it is advisable to form teams for teaching from pupils of different ages (multigrade classes). The authors provided suggestions on the formation of territorial educational districts as a promising direction for improving the network of rural schools. The perspective types of institutions of general secondary education, which are formed on the basis of interagency integration with other objects of cultural and household services of the population, are revealed. To improve the process of designing a network of village schools, the authors developed a methodology for optimizing the network of schools on the basis of linear programming.

6520 Background: We previously reported that alternative cutpoints and alternate categorical metrics to RECIST standards provided no meaningful improvement in OS prediction. Here, we sought to identify and validate continuous, longitudinal TM-based metrics for predicting OS. Methods: Data from 13 trials (1739 patients with sufficient imaging-based measurements from breast, lung or colon cancer) were randomly split (60:40) into training and validation datasets and landmarked at 12-weeks (w). Multiple candidate metrics that capture tumor curve trajectory were considered: first slope (or % change) from baseline to 6 w, last slope (or % change) from 6 w to 12 w, and indicator of increase (<5% (includes no increase or a decrease) vs. ≥5%) from the prior assessment (baseline to 6 w, 6 w to 12 w). Multivariable Cox models stratified by study and number of baseline target lesions (<3 vs. >3) and adjusted for baseline tumor burden (ratio of the sum of lesions/number of lesions) were fit for each tumor type. Predictive ability was assessed via concordance (c)-index (0.5: no association to 1.0: perfect association), and hazard ratios/p-values (HR/p). Results: Patients whose tumor size increased by at least 5% from the prior assessment, as well as whose tumors showed a positive slope (or % change) from 6 to 12 w (indicating tumor growth) had worse OS. The first slope (or % change) metric was less consistent, with an initial decrease in slope suggesting worse OS in some cases. Predictive ability of these metrics varied across tumor type with poorest prediction in Breast (Table). Conclusions: Continuous TM-based metrics performed no better than categorical RECIST metrics for OS prediction. [Table: see text]

Modern manufacturing systems require timely and efficient production tasks. Any mistakes can have serious consequences which effect the production process obviously. The supply of goods is the beginning of the production process, ensuring that production can proceed normally. Using mobile robots for transportation and supply of production lines can achieve automatic manufacturing. We studied the use of multiple mobile robots to supply multiple production lines. Robots need to return to warehouse when no goods exist. This problem is called a multi-mobile robots and multi-trips feeding scheduling problem. We constructed a mathematical model describing multi-mobile robots and multi-trips feeding scheduling problem, and the objective function is to minimize the transportation cost and waiting cost. To solve this problem, we proposed an improved hybrid genetic algorithm, where a strategy of mixing improved genetic algorithm and tabu search algorithm is adopted to find robots with reasonable routes. Combining genetic algorithm with tabu search algorithm can improve the route planning effect and find a lower cost solution. In the experimental part, it is verified that the proposed algorithm could effectively find reasonable ways for robots to provide services. We also put forward suggestions for the scenarios of using robots in actual production.

Objectives. To examine abortion utilization in Ohio from 2010 to 2018, a period when more than 15 abortion-related laws became effective. Methods. We evaluated changes in abortion rates and ratios examining gestation, geographic distribution, and abortion method in Ohio from 2010 to 2018. We used data from Ohio’s Office of Vital Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Abortion Surveillance Reports, the American Community Survey, and Ohio’s Public Health Data Warehouse. Results. During 2010 through 2018, abortion rates declined similarly in Ohio, the Midwest, and the United States. In Ohio, the proportion of early first trimester abortions decreased; the proportion of abortions increased in nearly every later gestation category. Abortion ratios decreased sharply in most rural counties. When clinics closed, abortion ratios dropped in nearby counties. Conclusions. More Ohioans had abortions later in the first trimester, compared with national patterns, suggesting delays to care. Steeper decreases in abortion ratios in rural versus urban counties suggest geographic inequity in abortion access. Public Health Implications. Policies restricting abortion access in Ohio co-occur with delays to care and increasing geographic inequities. Restrictive policies do not improve reproductive health.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAdult Asian long-horned beetles, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), were discovered in Ontario, Canada, in 2003 in the vicinity of a commercial warehouse. Trees were heavily scarred with signs of attack and larvae and adult beetles were common, suggesting that there had been multiple generations at the site. We amplified 16 microsatellite loci from 326 beetles to examine genetic diversity in this population. Based on Hardy – Weinberg equilibrium, 6 of 16 loci were monomorphic and 8 were not, indicating nonrandom mating. Measures of microsatellite genetic diversity and mitochondrial DNA haplotype diversity were significantly lower than those in A. glabripennis from China and Korea but were not significantly different from those in the New York City population. The proportion of different multilocus genotypes in the Ontario population was lower than in the populations in New York City and Linden, New Jersey. These results suggest that limited genetic diversity in the Ontario population has not hampered reproduction of this invasive insect. This genetic signature is common in other invasive species, likely because a population is founded by a few closely related individuals, or a large founding population suffers subsequent genetic bottlenecks.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Extreme temperature has been used as an alternative to chemical treatments for stored product pests for years. Resistance to heat or cold treatments has not been documented in stored product insects, but repeated use of ineffective treatments could lead to adaptive tolerance. Trogoderma variabile (Dermestidae) is a common pest of stored products, and the larval stage is highly resistant to cold and destructive. We artificially selected populations by inducing chill coma at four different cold temperature treatments: 3 and 5 h at −10°C and 3 and 5 h at 0°C. Recovery time was highly heritable after selection for seven generations for decreased recovery time (cold tolerance) and increased recovery time (cold susceptibility) at all time and temperature combinations. Three replicate populations for each time and temperature combination varied substantially, suggesting different mutations in each population were probably responsible for selected phenotypes. Body size decreased in populations selected for cold susceptibility compared with those selected for cold tolerance and survivorship to long-term cold stress increased in the cold-tolerant populations compared with the susceptible populations. After the cessation of the selection experiment, cold tolerance dissipated within four generations from the populations at −10°C, but was maintained in populations exposed to 0°C. Our results suggest that warehouse beetles can adapt to cold stress quickly, but in the absence of cold stress, the proportion of cold-tolerant/susceptible individuals is quickly reduced, suggesting that some of the mutations responsible for these phenotypes may be associated with fitness costs under normal conditions.

Process Mining (PM) uses event logs extracted from process-oriented IS in order to uncover, analyse, diagnose and improve processes. However, the number of studies demonstrating PM applicability is limited, particularly in the field of logistics. This paper presents a methodological framework for a multi-faceted analysis of real-life event logs based on PM and the usefulness of its techniques, combined with traditional IE&M methods, thus offering an innovative approach on multiple levels by combining the use of PM and more traditional methods; using PM to demonstrate the actual movement of goods and generate a physical map of movements inside the warehouse; and enabling continuous tracking. A case-study, implemented on the cargo release process of a large Israeli logistics company, demonstrates this approach. Results reflect a major gap between the actual and the described processes, as an automatic creation of the process from logs shows that 64% of the customers received their goods after 4.5 hours (instead of 90 minutes, as service standard requires). Practical implications include detailed steps and a recommendation for additional analyses. Research value analysis shows that PM techniques constitute an ideal means to tackle organizational challenges by reflecting real-time situations, suggesting process improvements and creating companywide process awareness.

Abstract Objective Transgender individuals are vulnerable to negative health risks and outcomes, but research remains limited because data sources, such as electronic medical records (EMRs), lack standardized collection of gender identity information. Most EMR do not include the gold standard of self-identified gender identity, but International Classification of Diseases (ICDs) includes diagnostic codes indicating transgender-related clinical services. However, it is unclear if these codes can indicate transgender status. The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which patients’ clinician notes in EMR contained transgender-related terms that could corroborate ICD-coded transgender identity. Methods Data are from the US Department of Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse. Transgender patients were defined by the presence of ICD9 and ICD10 codes associated with transgender-related clinical services, and a 3:1 comparison group of nontransgender patients was drawn. Patients’ clinician text notes were extracted and searched for transgender-related words and phrases. Results Among 7560 patients defined as transgender based on ICD codes, the search algorithm identified 6753 (89.3%) with transgender-related terms. Among 22 072 patients defined as nontransgender without ICD codes, 246 (1.1%) had transgender-related terms; after review, 11 patients were identified as transgender, suggesting a 0.05% false negative rate. Conclusions Using ICD-defined transgender status can facilitate health services research when self-identified gender identity data are not available in EMR.

Lack of management control of the activity risks creates critical operating conditions for the enterprise, in which the financial indicators may change unexpectedly and unfavorably. Avoidance of the risks of an entity's activity is possible if effective interaction is made primarily between economic security and internal audit departments. Productive work of internal auditors to identify, evaluate and reduce the impact of risks on the performance of the enterprise is possible with its proper organization. The article describes the key principles for planning the activities of internal auditors to ensure the quality of audit procedures. Approaches to the organization and planning of the Internal Audit Department's work on identifying risks of the entity's activities, minimizing them and preventing them in the future are disclosed. A working plan for the application of audit procedures in the department of accounting, cashier and warehouse is presented, which demonstrates procedures for identifying and assessing such types of risks as market, payment, currency, financial, tax, credit, loss of assets. The working plan of the audit procedures developed contains the most effective procedures, depending on the objects of the audit, determines the scope of the audit, the procedure of its carrying out, responsible executors, the terms of the procedures. The use of the following suggestions for the planning of internal audit allows to apply qualitatively different forms and methods of audit, types of audit procedures, specialize the audit activities, correctly establish the order of audits, take into account the results of audit in the preparation and approval of various types of enterprise reports.

Abstract Physical and psychological suffering are interrelated and should be assessed together as part of palliative care delivery. We aimed to describe the overlap of pain and depressive symptoms among long-stay nursing home (NH) residents with advanced Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD), and to determine the incidence of pain and depressive symptoms. We conducted a retrospective study of a US national sample of fee-for-Service Medicare beneficiaries who became long-stay NH residents in 2014-2015, had two consecutive quarterly Minimum Dataset assessments (90 and 180 days +/- 30 days), and had a diagnosis of ADRD in the Chronic Condition Warehouse and moderate to severe cognitive impairment (N= 92,682). We used descriptive statistics and Poisson regression models to examine the incidence of each symptom controlling for age, sex, and concurrent hospice care. Sub-groups with self-reported and observer-rated symptoms (pain/PHQ-9) were modelled separately, as were those switching between the two. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was low (5.7%), while pain was more common (18.2%). Across various subgroups, 2% to 4% had both pain and depression, but between 20% and 25% were treated with both antidepressants and scheduled analgesia. Depressed residents at baseline had an incidence rate ratio (IRR) of pain of 1.2 at the second assessment, while the residents with pain at baseline had an IRR of depressive symptoms of 1.3 at the second assessment. Our results support the expected relationship between pain and depressive symptoms in a national sample of long-stay NH residents with advanced ADRD, suggesting the need for simultaneous clinical management.

ObjectiveTo assess the accuracy of the South African National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) corporate data warehouse (CDW) using a novel data cross-matching method.MethodsAdults (≥18 years) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) who visited a hospital-based HIV clinic in Durban from March to June 2012 were included. We matched patient identifiers, CD4 and viral load (VL) records from the HIV clinic’s electronic record with the NHLS CDW according to a set of matching criteria for patient identifiers, test values and test dates. We calculated the matching rates for patient identifiers, CD4 and VL records, and an overall matching rate.ResultsNHLS returned records for 3498 (89.6%) of the 3906 individuals requested. Using our computer algorithm, we confidently matched 3278 patients (83.9% of the total request). Considering less than confident matches as well, and then manually reviewing questionable matches using only patient identifiers, only nine (0.3% of records returned by NHLS) of the suggested matches were judged incorrect.ConclusionsWe developed a data cross-matching method to evaluate national laboratory data and were able to match almost 9 of 10 patients with data we expected to find in the NHLS CDW. We found few questionable matches, suggesting that manual review of records returned was not essential. As the number of patients initiating ART in South Africa grows, maintaining a comprehensive and accurate national data repository is of critical importance, since it may serve as a valuable tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the country’s HIV care system. This study helps validate the use of NHLS CDW data in future research on South Africa’s HIV care system and may inform analyses in similar settings with national laboratory systems.

Abstract Objective We sought to measure patient portal satisfaction with patient portals and characterize its relationship to attitude towards computers, health literacy, portal usage, and patient demographics. Materials and Methods We invited 13 040 patients from an academic medical center to complete a survey measuring satisfaction, perceived control over computers, and health literacy using validated instruments (End User Computing Satisfaction, Computer Attitude Measure, and Brief Health Literacy Screen). We extracted portal usage and demographic information from the medical center data warehouse. Results A total of 6026 (46.2%) patients completed the survey. The median (IQR) scores for satisfaction, computer control, and health literacy were 87% (20%), 86% (22%), and 95% (15%), respectively. The normalized mean (SD) usage of messaging, lab, appointment, medication, and immunization functions were 6.6 (2.6), 4.6 (2.4), 3.1 (1.7), 1.5 (1.2), and 0.88 (0.91) times, respectively. Logistic regression yielded significant odds ratios [99% CI] for computer control (3.6 [2.5–5.2]), health literacy (12 [6.9–23]), and immunization function usage (0.84 [0.73–0.96]). Discussion Respondents were highly satisfied and had high degrees of computer control and health literacy. Statistical analysis revealed that higher computer control and health literacy predicted higher satisfaction, whereas usage of the immunization function predicted lower satisfaction. Overall, the analytical model had low predictive capability, suggesting that we failed to capture the main drivers of satisfaction, or there was inadequate variation in satisfaction to delineate its contributing factors. Conclusion This study provides insight into patient satisfaction with and usage of a patient portal. These data can guide the development of the patient portal, with the ultimate goal of increasing functionality and usability to enhance the patient experience.

Full textAbstract:
Implementing bioenergy buffers on farmland using fast-growing tree species could reduce firewood harvest pressure in woodlots and increase forest connectivity, while improving carbon sequestration, phytoremediation, stream habitats, soil stabilization and hydrological regulation. The objective of the study was to evaluate the natural drying and chemical characteristics of hybrid poplar firewood produced from bioenergy buffers, and to compare these characteristics with those of native species harvested in adjacent woodlots. In Trial A, 110 cm-long unsplit logs (a feedstock for biomass furnaces) were produced to evaluate the effect of log diameter class on firewood quality. In this trial, hybrid poplar firewood characteristics were also compared with Populus tremuloides, Acer rubrum and Fraxinus americana. In Trial B, the effect of hybrid poplar genotype and cover treatment was evaluated on the moisture content of short split logs (40 cm long). Firewood of satisfactory quality was produced on a yearly cycle for short split logs, and on a biannual cycle for long unsplit logs. Covering short split log cords with metal sheeting lowered the final moisture content (from 20.7% to 17.3%) and reduced its variability, while genotype did not significantly affect final moisture content. In Trial A, larger-diameter logs from hybrid poplar had lower element concentrations, but slightly higher moisture content after two years. A two-fold variation in N concentration was observed between diameter classes, suggesting that burning larger poplar logs would minimize atmospheric N pollution. Heating value, carbon and calcium concentrations increased following the seasoning of hybrid poplar firewood. After the first seasoning year outdoors, hybrid poplar had the highest moisture content (33.1%) compared to native species (24.1–29.5%). However, after the second seasoning year in an unheated warehouse, the opposite was observed (14.3% for hybrid poplar vs. 15.0–21.5% for native species). Heating value, carbon and nitrogen concentrations were similar between tree species, while high phosphorus and base cation concentrations characterized hybrid poplar, suggesting higher ash production. Poplar bioenergy buffers could provide a complementary source of firewood for heating in the fall and in the spring, when the heat demand is lower than during cold winter months.

118 Background: Cabazitaxel (C) and abiraterone (A) improve survival in mCRPC after progression on docetaxel (D). We examined whether mCRPC patients progressing on D received C and/or A, in which sequence, and how they compared with patients not receiving C or A. Methods: This retrospective study used medical records from the ACORN Data Warehouse. Eligible patients were: diagnosed with mCRPC, progressed after 1st-line D, treated 2nd-line with C (DC) or A (DA). Some went to 3rd-line C or A (DCA, DAC). A random sample of comparable patients without A or C (DO) was included. Demographic and clinical characteristics were extracted. Cox regression analyses assessed PFS and OS by 2nd-line group after D. Results: Screened out patients were: 60 with no progression on D; 41 absent records; 18 with another cancer. Table below shows patients by treatment sequence group. Age, PS, and PSA did not differ significantly. More patients appear to have received A after C (56.7%) than C after A (25.7%). In the 3-drug sequence groups, more patients received DCA in the 6-month period from April-October 2011 (n = 17/19) than in the 6-month period from June-December 2012 (n = 2/10), suggesting a drop-off in use of C immediately after D. Cox PFS treatment effect was not significant. Cox OS treatment effect was significant (DA vs DC, HR = 1.693 [95% CI: 1.066, 2.691], p = 0.0258). Conclusions: Patterns suggest comparable outcomes in PFS. Controlling for patient characteristics, OS may be longer in DC vs DA. Patients appear undertreated in third line with fewer receiving C after A than the opposite sequence. We hypothesize that DAC may not be as feasible as DCA. Reasons for underutilization of C are being examined. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Cutaneous mucormycosis in children is a rare fungal infection which primarily occurs in patients with underlying medical conditions and is associated with significant morbidity. We describe characteristics of pediatric patients with healthcare-associated (HCA) cutaneous mucormycosis at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) and results of an outbreak investigation. Methods Patients at TCH were identified retrospectively through review of the TCH Microbiology Laboratory mycology culture reports from 1/1/2012–2/18/2019. Pediatric patients <21 years of age with cutaneous mucormycosis that developed during a hospitalization or was associated with a medical device were included. Demographic information was collected through review of the electronic medical record. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were performed by the Fungus Testing Laboratory, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. This study was approved through the Baylor College of Medicine Institutional Review Board. Results We identified 12 patients with HCA cutaneous mucormycosis. The characteristics of these patients are detailed in the table. Six cases of Rhizopus infection occurred over a narrow 7 month period from March through September of 2017 prompting an outbreak investigation. Genotyping results revealed 4 molecular types from 5 available isolates suggesting that the isolates were not clonally related. Adhesive products were suspected as a potential source. Infection Control activities included site visits to the hospital supply warehouse and linen facility. Tape practices throughout the hospital were assessed through a nursing survey. Samples of adhesive products were cultured at an environmental microbiology laboratory and no Rhizopus spp. were isolated. A source was not identified. Conclusion Mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection in children. Providers should have a low threshold of suspicion for cutaneous mucormycosis in patients with underlying medical conditions (malignancies and extreme prematurity) that develop skin lesions near medical device dressings or securement sites.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the method of increasing the security of Internet of Things technologies. Users fear the consequences of Internet security violations. Therefore, digital security must be designed from zero and at all points of the system so vulnerabilities do not jeopardize the whole system in a certain part. The risk must be reduced throughout the life cycle, especially in view of its scaling and geographical expansion. The Internet of Things consists of a large number of inexpensive devices. IoT devices usually have limited memory and battery power, which gives very limited computing and communication capabilities. The use of encryption/decryption algorithms should not require large resources, and the frequency range is limited. It is also a large-scale network that supports mass connections. Network transmission protocols must include many new features, such as multi-transient routing, shared relay, dynamic access, and other to meet this demand. It is extremely difficult to manage and distribute private keys with this network setup. A variety of usage scenarios require different QoS and security levels. Nowadays IoT plays an important role in many scenarios and has great potential for further dissemination. There is a need to increase the efficiency of a particular enterprise, processes, so the number of interactive things that create smart areas (houses, offices, warehouses, cities) is growing. The implementation of this areas reaches a variety of technologies, which vulnerable from the found attacks over time, leading to significant losses, as data and time. There are many suggestions that address target issue after finding a vulnerability, but this may not be effective enough. Therefore, it was proposed to create a method that can solve a set of problems simultaneously by combining PKI secure authentication and honeypots. It will not only detect new vulnerabilities and attacks faster, but also waste attackers' resources (all captured attacks will be identified and attacker profiles created).

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to go a step further from the traditional 5 Whys technique by adding three more legs during the root cause analysis stage – occurrence, human and systemic issues that contribute toward the problem, hence the term 3 × 5 Whys. Performing individual 5 Whys for these three components enables to identify deeper root cause(s) that may spawn across multiple groups within an organization. Design/methodology/approach Cause-and-effect analysis used during traditional root cause investigations within an 8D or Lean six sigma project is used as a theoretical foundation. Examples from different industries are presented showing the 3 × 5 Why’s framework and advantages it brings to the organization along with identifying shortcomings and suggestions to make it more effective. Findings If properly used this integrated methodology will reveal higher order systemic causes (e.g. policies or management decisions) stemming from lower lever symptoms (e.g. defective parts, procedural errors). Effective execution of this methodology can provide tremendous results in defect reduction, yield improvement, operational efficiency improvement and logistics management type of projects. Resolving higher level sources of problems allows an organization to evolve itself and maintain a competitive edge in the market. Research limitations/implications Adopting this quality management technique in start-up companies entails some challenges and other implications have been discussed with SWOT analysis. Practical implications Examples from various sectors using 3 × 5 Why approach have been presented that show that this methodology provides deeper insight into root causes which could be affecting multiple groups in an organization. Using this technique effectively is found to be beneficial to resolve issues in operations management, logistics, supply chain, purchasing, warehouse operations, manufacturing, etc. Social implications This methodology has a human component which often results in some sort of resistance as not all working professionals think alike when it comes to accountability and ownership of issues. This may hinder root cause analysis and subsequent corrective actions implementation. Originality/value This study is unique in its in-depth real-world case studies demonstrating the need for taking a deep dive approach to root cause analysis by understanding specific, system and human components responsible for causing the failure mode.

Correlation of Electroencephalogram Findings and Dose Relative to Renal Function among Patients with Possible Cefepime-Induced Encephalopathy." Open Forum Infectious Diseases 6, Supplement_2 (2019): S773. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofz360.1936.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Cefepime-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is thought to be a rare toxicity, with an overall incidence of &lt;1%. However, the low incidence may be a result of under-recognition and difficulty in identifying the exact etiology of encephalopathy in hospitalized patients. Among patients with suspected CIE, electroencephalograms (EEGs) sometimes show abnormal activity like triphasic waveforms (TPWs). We asked whether the incidence of EEG findings consistent with CIE varies with cefepime (CFP) dose relative to eGFR (dose/eGFR). We also compared the incidence of these EEG findings in patients receiving CFP to the incidence in patients receiving piperacillin–tazobactam (PT). Methods In a retrospective analysis, data between 8/1/2016 and 5/24/2018 were extracted from the University of Chicago Clinical Data Warehouse. Patients 20–79 years old who received PT or CFP were included; those requiring renal replacement therapy or who had eGFR &lt;10 mL/minute/BSA at baseline were excluded. The average daily dose of PT or CFP was calculated to determine dose/eGFR. Linear or logistic regressions were performed in STATA. Results EEGs were obtained in 66 (4.3%) of 1525 patients receiving CFP and in 28 (3.3%) of 842 receiving PT. TPWs were present in 19 (28%) of EEGs from the CFP group, and in none of the EEGs from the PT group. Figure 1 shows the correlation between CFP dose/eGFR ratio and occurrence/severity of TPWs. Ordered logistic regression analysis identified a coefficient of 20.9 (95% CI; 3.7–38.2). Figure 2 shows only a weak association between CFP dose/eGFR and background frequency (BFS; R2 = 0.05). In the PT group, BFS was not correlated with PT dose/eGFR (R2 = 0.01). Conclusion TPWs were more likely to be found in patients receiving CFP than PT, suggesting that in the absence of other metabolic abnormalities, TPWs might be specific for CFP. Higher CFP dose-to-eGFR ratios predispose to and potentially worsen the severity of TPWs. Unlike TPWs, BFS was only weakly associated with CFP dose/eGFR and even less associated with PT dose/eGFR ratio. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
