Seven Actions a Supply Chain Leader Can Take TodayThe value of t.docxklinda1
Seven Actions a Supply Chain Leader Can Take Today
The value of the research, best practices, and examples is determined by how they can change your supply chain leadership. Following is a list of potential actions you could take today to make a difference in your organization and business results.
1. Get it on business leader scorecards. Work with your general managers/business leaders to ensure holistic measures are on the business/general manager scorecards. Profit and cost are consistently on these high-level scorecards, but quality, cash, and customer service may not be. Including supply chain excellence measures on the business scorecard enables you to lead based on business priorities.
2. Champion TVO. It is not enough to talk about the use of total value of ownership with your direct reports. Talk the importance of total value with supplier selection and development as part of your communications (meetings, calls, printed documents, supply chain goals/action plans), participate in supplier selection and development reviews for the most strategic suppliers/materials, and ensure that the rewards for supply chain people are consistent with TVO.
3. Make R&D your best friend. Create a strong partnership with the research and development leader. Consider co-locating your office with the R&D leader to facilitate teamwork and symbolize a seamless technical community. The SC leader and the R&D leader should have common expectations, including active, up-front involvement in new initiative supplier decisions and product design to optimize innovation that delivers consumer, customer, supplier, community, and shareholder needs.
4. Be clear. Set clear expectations for use of multidiscipline teams on supplier selection. Ensure people know what process is expected for what type of suppliers. Do this publicly and in written communications. Enable your multidiscipline teams to do the work. Help your global virtual teams get the tools they need to succeed.
5. Champion an end-to-end and integrated supply chain organization. If your supply chain team is not end-to-end and fully integrated, create a plan to make this happen. This is not easy or straightforward leadership work in many companies. Barriers to creating your supply chain organizational vision include commercial business leaders who have other ideas, existing acquisition agreements (including personal contacts), and historical systems. Stay committed to achieving the vision, and make progress with every organizational opportunity.
Align on a common direction. If the purchasing and logistics teams have different leadership, partner with these leaders to ensure both organizations have a common supplier direction, scorecards, and rewards. This alignment can precede more complex organizational structure changes and deliver immediate business improvement. This type of clear organizational direction creates more leadership work, because the two leaders must speak with a common voice. But the investme.
EquityEquity calculations are not discussed in any detail he.docxrusselldayna
Equity
Equity calculations are not discussed in any detail here. It is enough
for our purposes to recognize that equity is a derived figure. Equity
must equal total assets less liabilities. In our Williams Convalescent
Center example, this generates values of $2,562 for the constant
dollar method and $2,867 for the current cost method.
SUMMARY
Financial reporting suffers from its current reliance on the HC
valuation concept. Inflation has made many of the reported values in
current financial reports meaningless to decision makers. The
example used in this chapter illustrates this point. The total asset
investment of Williams Convalescent Center is approximately 100%
larger when adjusted for inflation under the current cost or constant
dollar method. Net income, however, decreased. The result is a
dramatic deterioration in return on investment––the single most
important test of business success. Table 10–11 summarizes

REAL-WORLD SCENARIO
Michael Dean has been recently appointed to the board of Kenyon
Medical Center, a 300-bed, not-for-profit community hospital. Mike is
an attorney who specializes in labor law and is the firm’s primary
litigation expert in this area. He is reviewing the financial information
that was sent to him this morning in preparation for his first board
meeting this evening. His total financial package includes 28 pages of
financial information consisting of current monthly income statements,
a balance sheet, and other monthly actual-to-budget comparisons of
performance with some selected financial ratios.
Tonight’s meeting is critical because the board’s major item for
discussion is related to a proposed bond issue to finance major
hospital renovation. Mike recognizes that he has a fiduciary
responsibility to protect the assets of the hospital and to ensure its
continued financial viability, but he does not know how to determine
whether the hospital can afford to take on this additional debt. There is
so much information and no apparent pattern as to what really is
important. He is also concerned about assessing how the proposed
financing would impact the hospital’s financial performance and thus
its ability to.
Performance audit has a long story in many countries to oversee the programme or activity carried out by the public agencies to manage the resource in an efficient and economical manner and the programme are carried out effectively and managed to give a positive impact to the target group. In Malaysia, performance audit has started way back since the 1990’s but the approach at that time whereby certain criteria and aspects are not complicated as compared to this day. Performance audit from time to time are also affected by the government policy and the development of the ICT.
What is the Board's role in governance and do they follow good practice?
What does good look like?
Are there good practice guidelines available?
And in particular how can you influence your board to adopt good practice in governance of project management?
These are some of the questions answered at the latest evening session of the APM Governance SIG.
This was one of a series of sessions that the Governance SIG is presenting to enable good practice to be shared.
Poor governance of projects and project management is a major cause of project failure. Recent research (by both PwC and APM) has shown a direct correlation between organisational and project success and good governance. So good governance is the key success factor in delivering successful project outcomes. Shouldn't Boards take note and make improvement of governance a strategic objective?

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
