English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Operations (General)
OBS

Many management decisions are made as a result of a calculation. All calculations are made from a set of several forecasts or assumptions any of which may turn out to be wrong. It is sensible to estimate how sensitive any decision is to such errors. (...) A sensitivity test involves doing the original calculation several times over, taking each revised assumption in turn to see how seriously it might affect the conclusion.

Domaine(s)
  • Géophysique
CONT

Les installations à usages doubles ou multiples ne sont pas sans poser des problèmes spécifiques, en particulier celui de l'harmonisation des modèles de demande des deux (ou plus) produits de queue; mais ces difficultés ne sont pas nécessairement insurmontables, en particulier si l'on dispose de facilités de stockage, soit pour les fluides chauds, soit pour les produits de queue.
