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.

  • BEER in DENMARK 08 Aug 2013 HEADLINES
    BEER IN DENMARK 08 Aug 2013 HEADLINES Total volume sales decline by 2% to 366 million litres in 2012 New beer tax and economic downturn delays recovery for the struggling beer category Domestic premium lager is the fastest growing category, with total volume sales up by 2% in 2012 Unit prices grow by 1% in both the on-trade and off-trade in 2012 Carlsberg leads with a 57% total volume share in 2012 Volume sales forecast to post a negative CAGR of 1% over 2012 to 2017 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE The leading beer players were Danish multinationals Carlsberg, with a 57% total volume share and Royal Unibrew, with a 21% share in 2012. Both companies are heavily present in domestic standard lager and both invested great efforts over the review period into better addressing the under 30 year old consumer group, which is proportionally more female and less beer-friendly. Royal Unibrew recorded volume share growth in 2012, and has since 2007 gained one percentage point on its key competitor Carlsberg. Both companies nonetheless grew in share in 2012 as Carlsberg offered price discounts on its most popular brands; Tuborg Grøn and Carlsberg Pilsner. However, Royal Unibrew has so far been more successful than Carlsberg in addressing the changing consumer preference among younger Danes. Carlsberg has in recent years focused on introductions of product types with new USPs and these have mainly failed, such as the domestic premium lager Copenhagen, launched in 2011, whereas Royal Unibrew has focused more on updating the brand image of its leading well-known products, namely Royal.

    CASE STUDY SUMMARY - ODENSE Odense, Denmark Figure 1. The municipality of Odense. Map data: Google, SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO, Maxar Technologies, and TerraMetrics. Construction of demolition waste (CDW) is one of the heaviest and most voluminous waste streams generated in the EU and as such, the European Union has identified it as a priority waste stream. It accounts for approximately 25% - 30% of all waste generated in the EU and consists of numerous materials, including concrete, bricks, gypsum, wood, glass, ceramics, metals, plastic, solvents, asbestos and excavated soil, many of which can be recycled. In this case study, the focus was on collection and management of bricks, sanitary ceramics and insulation materials from municipal sources. This summary presents the main conclusions of one of the regional case studies conducted during the COLLECTORS project. The studies included a life cycle assessment, a cost-benefit assessment, and a circularity assessment. References to original research reports are provided at the end of this document. Description of the region Odense is the third largest city in Denmark with a population of 204,200. Odense is the commercial hub of Funen, and has a notable shopping district with a diversity of stores. Several major industries Copyright © 2020 COLLECTORS PROJECT 1 CASE STUDY SUMMARY - ODENSE are located in the city including the Albani Brewery and GASA, Denmark's major dealer in vegetables, fruits and flowers.
