Choosing the right process improvement tool for your project.
Learn how an experienced engineer decides when simulation is the right tool for his projects,
and when it isn't.
With the evolution of process improvement software, it can be difficult to decide the right tool for the job. Using something too powerful and complex can be a lengthy and unnecessary process, but underestimating the depth of analysis required and choosing something too simplistic early in a project can result in repeated work later.
Design and Analysis of Algorithm help to design the algorithms for solving different types of problems in Computer Science. It also helps to design and analyze the logic of how the program will work before developing the actual code for a program.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

3. Definitions
• Operations research (OR) is the application of scientific methods to improve the effectiveness
of operations, decisions and management by means such as analyzing data, creating
mathematical models and proposing innovative approaches. OR is often concerned with
determining the maximum (of profit, performance or yield) or minimum (of loss, risk or cost)
of some real world objective
• “O.R. is applied decision theory, which uses any scientific, mathematical or logical means
to attempt to cope with the problems that confront the executive, when he tries to achieve
a thorough-going rationality in dealing with his decision problem”. (Miller and Starr)
• “Operational Research is the attack of modern science on complex problems arising in the
direction and management of large systems of Men, Machines, Materials and Money in

LECTURE ONE: INTRODUCTION
4. Applications of OR
• Military operations
• Manufacturing eg manufacturing of
safety boots
• transportation
• public services
• construction
• telecommunication
• Finance
Principal phases of implementing
operations research
• The principal phases of
implementing an operations
research in practice include:
• Definition of the problem
• Mathematical model
formulation
• Solution of the model
• Validation of the model
• Implementation of the model
INTRODUCTION…
5. PRINCIPLE PHASES IN DETAILS
1. Problem definition
• This involves defining the scope of the problem under investigation. This phase is carried out by
the entire OR team. The aim is to identify three principal elements of the decision problem:
• Description of the decision alternatives
• Determination of the objective of the study
• Specification of the limitations under which the modeled system operates
2. Model formulation
• This entails an attempt to translate the problem definition into mathematical relationships. The
problem is identified with decision variables such as:
How many units to buy/sell...
How much time to spend on a task...
• Measure of performance is through the objective function
What is the goal/objective?
Usually: Max/min profit/cost/time/units
6. PRINCIPLE PHASES IN DETAILS…
3. Model Solutions
• Mathematical representations are always approximations of the real world. Model solution is by far
the simplest of all OR phases because it entails the use of well-defined optimization algorithms. An
important aspect of the model solution phase is sensitivity analysis. It deals with obtaining
additional information about the behavior of the optimal solution when the model undergoes some
parameter changes. Sensitivity analysis is particularly needed when the parameters of the model
cannot be estimated accurately.
4. Model testing/validation
• The process of testing/improving model is known as model validation. Model validity checks
whether or not the proposed model does what it purports to do (i.e. does it predict adequately the
behavior of the system under study?). Initially the OR team should be convinced that the model’s
output does not include “surprises.” In other words does the output make sense?
• The common method for checking validity is to compare its output with historical output data. The
model is valid if, under similar input conditions, it reasonably duplicates past performance.
However, if the proposed model represents a new (non-existing) system, no historical data would
be available. In such cases, we may use simulation as an independent tool for verifying the output
of the mathematical model.
7. PRINCIPLE PHASES IN DETAILS…
5. Implementation of the model solution
• Implementation of the solution of the validated model involves the translation of
the results into understandable operating instructions to be issued to the people
who will administer the recommended system. The burden of this task lies
primarily with the OR team.
OR team explains system to management
OR team develops procedures required to put system into operation
Management trains personnel
8. LECTURE TWO: LINEAR PROGRAMMING (LP)
• 2.1 Introduction
• 2.2 Requirements of a Linear Programming problem
• 2.3 Formulating small to moderate LP problems
• 2.4 Graphical solution to an LP problem
• 2.5 Special cases in LP problems
Introduction
• Linear programming is a technique that helps in resource allocation decisions. Resources include
machinery, labour, money, time, warehouse space, raw materials, etc.
• Computer programs help much in solving real life LP problems that are too cumbersome to solve
by hand or with a calculator.
• Requirements of a LP Problem
• All LP problems have three properties in common.
a. All LP problems seek to maximize or minimize a linear function of the decision
variables. The function to be minimized or maximized is called the objective function.
That is max / min z = f(x1, x2, …, xn) = c1x1+c2x2+…+cnxn; where xi is decision variable,
ci is the coefficient of the decision variable.
9. LINEAR PROGRAMMING
a. The values of the decision variables must satisfy a set of technological constraints. Each
constraint must be a linear equation or linear inequality. That is a1jx1+a2jx2+…+anjxn = / ≥/≤ bj.
b. A sign restriction is associated with each variable. For any variable xi, the sign restriction
specifies that xi must be nonnegative (xi ≥ 0) or that xi may be unrestricted in sign (urs).
The general LP formulation
The general form for a Linear Programming problem is as follows:
Objective Function:
s.t.
Technological Constraints:
Sign Restrictions:
where ``urs'' implies unrestricted in sign.
10. Formulating a linear program
• 1. Choose decision variables
• 2. Choose an objective function – linear function in variables
• 3. Choose constraints – linear inequalities
• 4. Choose sign restrictions
11. LP Formulation, Example1
• A toy company makes two types of toys: toy soldiers and trains. Each toy is produced in two
stages, first it is constructed in a carpentry shop, and then it is sent to a finishing shop, where it is
varnished, vaxed, and polished. To make one toy soldier costs $10 for raw materials and $14 for
labor; it takes 1 hour in the carpentry shop, and 2 hours for finishing. To make one train costs $9
for raw materials and $10 for labor; it takes 1 hour in the carpentry shop, and 1 hour for finishing.
There are 80 hours available each week in the carpentry shop, and 100 hours for finishing. Each
toy soldier is sold for $27 while each train for $21. Due to decreased demand for toy soldiers, the
company plans to make and sell at most 40 toy soldiers; the number of trains is not restriced in any
way. What is the optimum (best) product mix (i.e., what quantities of which products to make) that
maximizes the profit (assuming all toys produced will be sold)?
• Solution
Hrs in Carpentry Hrs in finishing RM Labour S/price
Soldier 1 1 10 14 27
Train 1 2 9 10 21
Avail hrs 80 100
12. LP Formulation…
• Profits: Selling price -costs
Toy soldier, 27-(10+14)$ =3$
Toy train, 21-(9+10)$ =2$
