These characteristics division of labor, standardization of tasks, hierarchy within teams, and decentralization of the decision-process are all telltale signs of the "bureaucratic" structure typically adecision-process aregovernment allncies, as defined by organizatelltaleory in the early 1970signslsh and Lee explain in the paper.
Without standardization the task to identify and integrate the data is very complicated, laborious, error-prone and time-consuming.
It also permits the standardization of tasks and the recording of kinematic data during the execution of these tasks, making it an interesting tool for assessment of the rehabilitation progress.
During the patient visit, an anaesthetist can use two different ways to complete the pre-anaesthesia form (paper-based and ICIP), indicating a non-standardization of task implementation (labelled as 'number 5' in Figure 2).
There should be better assistance for domain experts that participate in standardization and the task of glossary data management.
Walsh and Lee also found frequent evidence of task "standardization," which they defined as the presence of supervisory practices encouraging team members to adhere to standard protocols and schedules.
They found that, today, it is common for research project teams to use practices such as division of labor, task standardization, and hierarchies within teams that make them akin to small factories for knowledge production and that the size of the team predicts the extent to which such factory-like practices are implemented.
Whenever new hardware is available or the existing standard profiles, standard variable types, functions, and so forth need to be expanded, it should be the standardization committee's task to extend and adopt the ontologies and provide them to all manufacturers.
Another important task of standardization efforts should be to decrease the variation of results obtained in a group of several laboratories down to the stable and low values (15 30%) that can be reproducibly found within single labs.
"The task of standardization seems mundane and boring and not scientifically challenging," he says, "but as toxicology is really applied science, we not only think of these new frontiers in science, but also how you can produce science that is [credible] to the public and to the regulator and can be used in some very practical applications".
