چکیده

Trial start up is a frenetic time for any trial manager: once a trial has been funded the clock is ticking to get the first participant recruited. There are a number of key activities that need to happen during this stage, so developing standardised processes to help improve effectiveness can make the system more efficient, and help promote best practice. Three of the key processes that have been developed within our CTU have been: • a centralised resource repository, housing a suite of trial paperwork templates (e.g. consent forms, trial master file checklists, case report forms etc), which can be easily customised to each new trial. This has proven to be of great value to new trials. • the use of specialised quality management software to manage and control these templates, thus ensuring version control and a managed (and auditable) approach to template upgrading. In addition to any revisions made following legislative or regulatory changes, all staff are encouraged to raise ‘change requests’ based on their experiences of using these templates to ensure continued improvement. • a bespoke electronic trial filing structure. Most of the trials managers work across more than one trial so a secure and systematic approach to managing the day-today trial documentation has not only ensured consistency in trial conduct but has been highly advantageous during inspections/monitoring visits. This talk will use examples from real trials to illustrate these processes.

Streamlining the planning approval process for a sustainable urban development: A case study for unwinding man-made complexities

The urban development process displays regressive tacit-dominant knowledge areas and their tacit level would impede their movements during multi-level knowledge transfers among stakeholders. The accuracy of a knowledge may be distorted when recipient stakeholders fail to understand a specific knowledge for its purpose. Earlier studies by the authors had highlighted complex yet dynamic environme...

The Transition Stage in the Start-up of an Anaerobic Sludge Digester

The start up &#10 dynamics of a one-million and two-hundred-thousand liter anaerobic digester of municipal waste treatment sludge was studied. In the digester, mixing was accomplished by circulation of the produced biogas at a rate of 0.13 m3 per hour of the digester volume per hour. During the nine-month study, no serious phenomena of foaming, getting sour, temperature fall, etc. were observe...

A Self-starting Control Chart for Simultaneous Monitoring of Mean and Variance of Simple Linear Profiles

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a s...

ASSOCIATED PROBABILITY INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY WEIGHTED OPERATORS IN BUSINESS START-UP DECISION MAKING

In the study, we propose the Associated Probability Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Averaging (As-P-IFWA) and the Associated Probability Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Geometric (As-P-IFWG) aggregation operators with associated probabilities of a fuzzy measure presenting an uncertainty. Decision makers' evaluations are given as intuitionistic fuzzy values and are used as the arguments of the aggre...
