TL;DR: In this paper , a shared storage method was used to improve the layout of the office-stationery warehouse at the Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University, and the damaged-goods warehouse, where fast-moving goods are stored in a storage area near the entrance and exit.
Abstract: The Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University's equipment warehouse is divided into the office-stationery warehouse and the damaged-goods warehouse. Office-stationery warehouse stores office stationery, spare parts, and consumables. Meanwhile, the warehouse for damaged goods stores various damaged goods such as furniture, Personal Computer (PC) components, electronic goods, and laboratory equipment. The problem with the warehouse is that many items need to be better organized so they cannot be classified between furniture items, PC components, electronics, and laboratory equipment. Then another problem is the difficulty in collecting inventory data at the Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University. Therefore, this study proposes improvements to the warehouse ’s layout that is more efficient in storing goods in the damaged-goods warehouse. The method used in this study is shared storage, where fast-moving goods are stored in a storage area near the entrance and exit. The results from the shared storage method show that the damaged warehouse layout of the Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University, could be more optimal, causing ineffectiveness of the movement of goods that occurred in the warehouse was unorganized. The proposed redesign of the warehouse layout shows it is better than the layout. It can be seen from the placement of goods according to their classification and the effective distance between the storage area to the door.
TL;DR: In this article , compositional blends were welded for hardfacing applications and then heat treated at progressively increasing temperatures followed by testing using industry key performance indicators, including surface hardness (HV10kg), ASTM G65 Method A abrasion mass loss, carbide volume fraction analysis and rotary impact testing.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors report their experience with specimen pooling on SARS-CoV-2 testing in an acute care hospital microbiology laboratory during a high testing demand period that exceeded available processing capacity.
Abstract: Innovation in laboratory testing algorithms to address seemingly uncontrollable global supply chain shortages in plastics and other consumables during emergencies such as the current COVID-19 pandemic have been urgently needed. We report our experience with specimen pooling on SARS-CoV-2 testing in an acute care hospital microbiology laboratory during a high testing demand period that exceeded available processing capacity. A fully automated four-in-one pooling algorithm was designed and validated. Correlation and agreement were calculated. A custom Microsoft Excel tool was designed for use by the technologists to aid interpretation, verification and result entry. Cost-per-test impact for pooling was measured in reference to the consumable cost and was denoted as the percentage reduction of cost versus the baseline cost-per-test of testing specimens individually. Validation showed a strong correlation between the signals observed when testing specimens individually versus those that were pooled. Average crossing point difference was 1.352 cycles (95% confidence interval of -0.235 and 2.940). Overall agreement observed between individually and pooled tested specimens was 96.8%. Stratified agreement showed an expected decreased performance of pooling for weakly positive specimens dropping below 60% after a crossing point of 35. Post-implementation data showed the consumable cost-savings achieved through this algorithm was 85.5% after 8 months, creating both testing and resource capacity. Pooling is an effective method to be used for SARS-CoV-2 testing during the current pandemic to address resource shortages and provide quick turnaround times for high test volumes without compromising performance.
TL;DR: The whole process from supplier qualification certificate management, in vitro diagnostic reagent procurement management, secondary warehouse management, and then to the use process traceability was realized and the monthly cost of in vitro diagnostics reagents can be accurately counted, which effectively controls the cost.
Abstract: The management of in vitro diagnostic reagents has always been a concern. This paper describes the application of SPD medical consumables fine management system in our hospital. Relying on the brand-new management mode, the whole process from supplier qualification certificate management, in vitro diagnostic reagent procurement management, secondary warehouse management, and then to the use process traceability was realized. The monthly cost of in vitro diagnostic reagents can be accurately counted, which effectively controls the cost of in vitro diagnostic reagents.
TL;DR: Most of the consumables used in the CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization) process are discarded because it is difficult to reuse them as mentioned in this paper , and slurry accounts for most of consumables.
