The financial situation of an organization can be defined as a multidimensional economic category that characterizes, by means of a set of indicators, the placement, ownership and use of financial resources, as well as their sufficiency at each point in time. In connection with this, it can be stated that an assessment of the financial condition of an economic entity allows to conclude that there is an effective management of resources and financial indicators in the period under study. This article reveals the shortcomings associated with the assessment of the financial condition of the organization by calculating relative indicators (financial ratios). The article proposes a model for assessing the financial condition of the organization, based on the standard ordering of the growth rates of the four groups of financial ratios. At the first stage of the study, a reference matrix of the rates of indicators change is built; at the second stage - the matrix of the actual rates of indicators change. At the final stage of the study, an integral indicator is formed, calculated on the basis of a comparison of the reference and actual matrices, allowing to assess the financial condition of the organization for a certain period of time.

The Impact

Background: Occupancy is commonly used to measure bed management in hospices. However, the increasing complexity of children and young people and growing dependence on technology mean that this is no longer effective. Aim: To develop a dependency tool that enables the hospice to safely and effectively manage the use of beds for planned short breaks (respite care), preserving capacity for children requiring symptom management and end-of-life care. Methods: A comprehensive literature review and existing tools were used to inform the development of the Martin House Dependency Tool Framework. Training was provided to staff and the tool was piloted before applying it across the hospice caseload. Findings: The tool has been used on 431 children (93.1% of caseload). The tool enabled consistency of assessment and more effective management of resources, due to a contemporaneous understanding of the clinical needs of those on the caseload. Conclusion: The tool has enabled consistent and transparent assessment of children, improving safety, effectiveness and responsiveness, and the management of the workforce and resources.

Management Of Resources

CREWS is a software product for planning and managing the work of rail-staff, providing solutions to one of the core problems that railroad companies face today: effective management of resources. CREWS addresses, in an integrated way, all phases of the planning and management process. This paper reports some results of work in the application of both Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research techniques in planning and managing crew-members (engineers and conductors) in railroad companies. The paper also presents case studies emerging from the application of CREWS both to railroad and to subway companies. The main goal of the development of CREWS was to increase the efficiency of railroad companies through optimized use of human resources. This goal has largely been achieved, but many other benefits, that were not fully apparent when the project started, have surfaced along the years. This paper also addresses some of these issues.
