Last year we refreshed our Sustainability & Responsibility Strategy; this year has been about refining and embedding it throughout our operations, and continuing to develop targets to allow us to measure performance consistently across all our impact areas. We believe that financial success is only achievable in the long term if the way we achieve that success – the way we do business – is sustainable. This includes how we treat our people; the culture we promote internally; how we live our values in all our business relationships; how we use the natural resources that we rely on; and the effects we have on the communities in which we operate.

JUNE, 2011. DECLARATION I hereby declare that this project work was fully undertaken by me under supervision and has not in part or whole been presented for another project. DANKWAH JOSEPH …………...... DATE ……………………… (Student) MR. F.K. DARKWA ………………… DATE …………………………… (Head of Department) PROF. I.K.DONTWI ……………………... DATE ……………………………….. (Dean of IDL) MR. F. K. DARKWA ………………….. DATE ………………………….. (Supervisor) ii ABSTRACT As Production systems expand, there is a tendency for the scheduling activities to become complex, or at least more demanding with respect to the time required for their performance Previous production scheduling involves complicated iterative procedures. A new approach brings out the basic principle involved and leads to a simple solution. Production of a given commodity is to be scheduled for a regular and capacity to meet known future requirements while minimizing total production and inventory costs. For the objective function, I intend to find the optimum production schedule by minimizing the total production and inventory cost calculated through the production schedules of orders. The Northwest Corner Rule, the Least Cost Method, and the Vogel‘s Approximation Method (VAM) were used to obtain an initial basic feasible solution (bfs). Improving solution to optimality was carried out using The Modified Distribution Method (MODI). The production was modelled as a balanced transportation problem and solved using an excel solver to obtain the optimal production schedule and the results reported.

  • Guinness Ghana Breweries Ltd - Results for the Nine Months Ended 31St March, 2018
    GUINNESS GHANA BREWERIES LTD - RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2018 Net sales for the nine months increased 8% compared to the same period last year, largely driven by revised price point in August 2017 across the Beer and Ready to Drink portfolio as well as growth of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Brand Malta Guinness and Johnnie Walker. Cost of Goods Sold increased by 15% driven by unfavourable product mix and adverse foreign exchange rate, resulting Gross Profit of 10% below last year. Selling, General and Administrative expenses grew by 6% versus the same period last year reflecting local inflation, partially offset by driving a productivity mind-set. Forex losses in the period were driven by the depreciation of the Ghana cedi against Euro. This resulted in Operating Profit of GHS 4.1m for the nine months. Finance charges reduced versus the same period last year as we have benefitted from the improved funding structure.
