This has not only helped us in understanding of how to conduct a research but also in collecting data either primary or secondary. P&G is an international Company reaching out to almost the entire world population with more than 250 brands in 130 countries. The product we have chosen is "Pert Plus"‚ which is according to P&G is in its declining stage. We made our hypothesis as per to the

Briefly explain the techniques and tools of Operations Research. Ans: The basic dominant characteristic feature of operations research is that it employs mathematical representations or models to analyse problems. This distinct approach represents an adaptation of the

GROUND IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAYS CHAPTER ONE 1.1 INTRODUCTION When a project encounters difficult foundation conditions‚ possible alternate solutions are: Avoid the particular site Design the planned structure accordingly. Remove and replace unsuitable soils. Attempt to modify the existing ground. Relatively few options are available in choosing the ground materials and site conditions that must be accounted for in the design of highway projects. The project must be

This paper describes the use of a simple hands-on case in undergraduate classes to teach the concepts of a traditional PERT/CPM and Critical Chain project management techniques. A simple six-activity project is used to illustrate: the identification of project activities‚ development of activity time estimates‚ the development of the project network‚ the development of the PERT/CPM critical path and the probability of on-time completion using the critical path‚ the development of the critical chain

Rating Rating in CPM represent the response of firm toward the critical success factors. Highest the rating better the response of the firm towards the critical success factor ‚rating range from 1.0 to 4.0 and can be applied to any factor. [pic][pic]There are some important point related to rating in CPM. • Rating is applied to each factor. • The response is poor represented by 1.0 • The response is average is represented by 2.0 • The response is above average represented by

As a result‚ the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) began construction in 2000 on more than 350 miles of roadway. Most relevant to the study of ITS in work zones are the three work zones that utilized ITS with the goal of improving traffic safety and mobility during the time of construction. One of these three Arkansas projects using ITS included the widening of approximately 17 miles of I-30 from

weight that range from 0.0 to 1.0.weight indicates the relative importance of the critical success factors. Rating: Ratings refer to strengths and weaknesses where 4= major strength‚ 3= minor strength 2= minor weakness and 1= major weakness. In CPM the rating and total weighted score for rival firms can be compared to the sample firms. This comparative analysis provides important internal strategic information.

OPERATIONS RESEARCH INTRODUCTION Operations Research is a unique discipline‚ one of its kinds‚ best of breeds‚ employing several highly developed and advanced analytical techniques which in turn aids in effective decision making. It is often regarded as a sub-field of mathematics. Operations research (OR) are not only deeply involved with making and taking effective decisions. It is also concerned with minimizing losses‚ optimization‚ simulations‚ forecasting and predicting within an organization
