The FOS
Order System has been developed by Chema Bassols and Herman Parmo at the
Department of Molecular Cell Biology (former Biochemistry Department) at the
Institute for Cancer Research,
The Norwegian Radium Hospital (DNR),
Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway. FOS is a purchase order management system specifically designed for DNR's Biochemistry Dep. We hope to make it an open source tool in the near future. FOS stands for "FOS Order System". Some people continuously find different meanings of the "F" in FOS like: "Future", "Failure", "Fatal", "Fuchsia" or "Fantastic"; but the truth is that the "F" stands for FOS and FOS means "FOS Order System".
