The performance of two screening instruments for pervasive developmental disorders was studied in the total population of children and adolescents with mental retardation between 4 and 18 years (N=1059) in Friesland, a northern province of the Netherlands. Parents completed the ABC, staff completed the PDD-MRS. The screening instruments were related to the ADI-R and ADOS for 184 participants. T...

BACKGROUND Despite the importance of body awareness for health and well-being there is still a lack of valid assessment tools to scan proper body awareness. To respond to the limitations of questionnaires (reading/interpretation problems) the Awareness-Body-Chart (ABC) was designed to assess body awareness by colouring 51 regions according to their awareness. The objective of this study was to ...

Introduction: Effective management of medical stores entails supervision of important drugs, and priority setting in purchase and distribution of drugs. Studies have mainly explored the inventory management at tertiary-care settings. Objective of this study was to explore the optimal drug inventory management technique suitable for a secondary care hospital. Method: Procurement, consumption, an...

The baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the first eukaryotic organism to have its complete genome sequence determined, revealing 30 distinct genes encoding ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins (Bauer et al., 1999; Decottignies and Goffeau, 1997; Taglicht and Michaelis, 1998). ABC proteins are ubiquitous and form one of the largest gene families known with more than 2000 distinct ABC genes...

Drugs are essential, if there is a shortage of drug at the pharmacy can cause vacancy, then what should be controlled, how much ordered, and when reordered. The purpose this study steps in control process determinants, including number sales knowing planning system inventory. method ABC classification analysis to find out which drugs priority control, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) many must ord...

This paper studies operations sequencing for a multi-stage production inventory system with lead times under predictable (deterministic) yield losses in the presence of uncertain demand, with full or partial release of work-in-process (WIP) inventories, for preor post-operation cost structures, and under the total discounted or average cost criteria. We derive necessary and sufficient criteria ...

We propose a mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the design of a one-period planning horizon supply chain with integrated and flexible decisions on location of plants and of warehouses, on levels of production and of inventory, and on transportation models, considering stochastic demand and the ABC classification for finished goods, which is an NP-hard industrial engineering optimizat...

PT Mechanical Electrical Provider (an alias name, henceforth MEP) is a company that focuses on the telecommunications sector as mechanical & electrical supplier. It was found still experiencing inventory problems, such needing more goods and excess from its system. Therefore, this study aims to analyze problems provides recommendations for system design. This uses qualitative approach by in...
