Johnson's Rule is a technique for minimizing completion time when processing jobs through two machines. It involves listing job processing times and scheduling the job with the shortest second machine time last, and the job with the shortest first machine time first, working toward the middle. An example applies the rule to five jobs being processed on a drill machine and lathe, determining the optimal sequence as B, E, D, C, A.
This document discusses production planning and control (PPC). It defines PPC as planning, directing, and controlling material supply and processing activities to produce specified products using available resources. The objectives of PPC are to determine input factors, coordinate resources efficiently, establish and monitor targets, ensure material flow, and produce quality output on time. PPC involves production planning, control, engineering, materials management, inventory control, and shipping/receiving. Factors like interdependence of activities, operations, capacity variations, order size, and manufacturing system nature determine the PPC approach. PPC aims to liase with purchasing and marketing, plan layouts and schedules, ensure quality control, and complete work on schedule. The importance is reducing costs
This document discusses inventory control models, including deterministic and probabilistic models. It describes several deterministic inventory models: a purchase model with instantaneous replenishment and no shortages, a manufacturing model without shortages, a purchase model with instantaneous replenishment and shortages, and a manufacturing model with shortages. For each model, it provides the key parameters and equations for calculating optimal order quantity, inventory levels, time periods, and number of orders per year. Sample problems are also included to demonstrate how to apply the models.
Queuing theory is a collection of mathematical models used to analyze systems with random variability in demand and service times, like customer arrival times at service facilities. Queues form when demand exceeds service capacity, meaning customers must wait for service rather than being served immediately. Queuing models help determine optimal levels of service, like the number of cash registers or repair technicians needed. Key components of queuing systems include the input source (size, arrival patterns), service system configuration (number of servers/queues), and service speed (rate or time).
This document discusses the transportation problem and algorithm to solve it. The objective is to determine how to transport goods from supply centers to demand centers to satisfy demand at minimum cost, given supply and demand constraints. The transportation algorithm involves: 1) Formulating the problem in a matrix, 2) Obtaining an initial feasible solution using methods like Northwest Corner, 3) Testing optimality and updating the solution using the MODI method until optimal. An example illustrates the process.
Plant location is the determination of where to locate a facility to minimize total delivered costs. It is important because relocating plants is difficult and expensive. In general, plants should be located where people support its success, the product can sell profitably, and production costs are low. When selecting a site, factors like raw materials, markets, utilities, transportation, climate, policies, and competition between regions/communities must be considered. The exact site must also consider soil/size/topography, waste disposal, and urban vs. rural tradeoffs. Models can help evaluate factors and multiple locations. Information comes from various ministries, research groups, and chambers of commerce.
Production management deals with decision making related to production processes to produce goods or services according to specifications, amounts, and schedules at minimum cost. The ultimate objectives of production management are to produce products at pre-established cost, specified quality, and within scheduled time frames. Intermediate objectives include achieving goals for machinery, equipment, material, manpower, and manufacturing services. The scope of production management includes product selection and design, production planning and control, facilities location and layout, capacity planning, and operational or short-term decisions.
Sales quotas are quantitative estimates of sales metrics like units or revenue that are set as goals for a specific future time period, usually to evaluate and motivate sales representatives. They are used to set performance standards, control expenses, identify areas needing extra promotion, and develop compensation plans. Quotas can be set for individual salespeople, dealerships, branches, or divisions. Routing and scheduling involve planning a salesperson's route through their territory and allocating time to maximize productivity and coverage while minimizing costs and wasted time.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain
油
The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spotssystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AIthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
