Why is the definition of system operational requirements important? What type of information is included? Ans: Definition of system operational requirements is very important as it represent the idea of the whole work. When we translate technical approach to operational scenario then many question will arise like “how is the system to be utilize and for how long? how is the system to be supported‚ by whom and for how long?” So to ensure all this things we need to define system operational requirements

some examples of operational definitions in research design within your profession? For example‚ in the education field‚ graduation rate and retention rate are important operational definitions to measure progress of students. Likewise other professions have common metrics and definitions. Identify some metrics and operational definitions from your own career or a profession that you know well. Tell us why you think it is important! Within my current field operational definitions are used to gauge

1 Throughput Throughput measures the number of bits transferred over the communication link over a definite amount of time. In the case of cellular network the data throughput may not be same at each interface; also it is a well known fact that the radio interface is the bottleneck. To get a more accurate value of the user experience in terms of throughput‚ it is highly desired to measure the value from the UE. But practically this may not be feasible as it requires sophisticated applications in

Concepts of Throughput Accounting In 1890s when cost accounting was introduced‚ labour was the greatest fraction of manufactured cost and considered as a variable cost. Very often workers did not know about the actual time of hours that they have to perform in a week when they reported for duty since the systems of time-keeping were undeveloped. Here comes the importance of throughput accounting which removes the dependence of standard cost accounting on efficiencies‚ particularly the
