Assignment 2 (case 3 A)
Answer:
Here the time of two processes cutting and sewing is given with the different job. So determine
the sequence of job that will complete the customers order as quickly as possible. And notify the
customer when the order is expected to ship.

Solution:
The smallest processing time, one hour occurs at cutting process for job C and one hour at
sewing process for job E, so we place job C as near to the start of the sequence as possible and
we place Job E as near to the end of the sequence as possible. Job C and E eliminated from the
job list.
2013
Page 10
The next smallest time is two hours. It occurs at cutting process for job D and sewing process for
job A, so we place Job D as near to the beginning of the sequence as possible and Job A as near
to the end of the sequence as possible. Job D and Job A are eliminated from the list.
C
The only job remaining is Job B. it is placed in the only available slot, in the middle of the
sequence.
C
This sequence will complete this job faster than any other sequence. The following bar chart
called Gantt charts are used to determine the final completion time for the set of five jobs. Notice
that the sequence of (C, D, B, A, E) is the same for the both processes and that a job cannot begin
at process Sewing until it has been completed at Process Cutting. Also A job cannot begin at
sewing process if another job is in currently in process. Time period during which a job is being
processed are labeled with the job s letter. The gray shaded area represents idle time.

Assignment 2 (case 4)
Answer:
I would like to discuss about my MGT08 Operation Management course how helped me for took
decision during my job career. I have worked almost 3 year in Aayushi Pharmaceutical private
limited as a Quality Assurance Manager. My role was related to each and every department about
Quality issues. I have come across with all departments and found many errors in every
department related to quality issue and I have tried to solve it by taking Help of operation
management subject. In this subject I learned many things about quality management and that I
have applied to reduce errors and make process faster and the better.
First of all, I would like to introduce my job responsibility as a Quality Assurance Manager in
Aayushi Pharmaceutical private limited which is manufacturing the oral liquid such as cough
syrup, emulsion. My job responsibility chart is shown below.
Quality Assurance Manager Responsibilities
1. To establish the Quality System
- Establish the system to describe how
2013
Page 15
Many departments have in my company such as Ware house, dispensing, quality control,
production and packing department including my quality assurance department. During starting
of my job I saw many errors in all departments which affect the product quality and I have tried
it reduced by using the operation management subject and made process faster and better with
excellent quality.
Now I want to explain that what errors I found in all department of my company and what steps
that I took in all departments for implementation by using the operation management course. It
explained below.
Warehouse Department:
Before:
2013
Page 16
Warehouse officers received raw material and packing material and did entry by using
the computer then forward the materials to under test room without presence of
Quality officer.
He also shows the cleaning of the area and it done once in a day.
He has responsibility of expired material room and rejected material room but it was
not proper in condition.
He has also responsibility to maintain and arrange the place for packing batch product
but I saw the arrangement was not in proper manners.
There was also no proper procedure for the outside workers entry that came for
loading.
Temperature of area is also not maintained.
The arrangement of approved packing material is not in proper manner
2013
I found that warehouse officer when received raw material and packing material that
time quality assurance person not with him, so I made changes in procedure and I told
him when you received any material before that you should call me otherwise any of
quality assurance person. After that whenever material came I must gone and I have
checked packing and did weight. During that I found some raw material has lose
packing , sometime has linkage in flavors bottle and I found where we did weight on
weight machine it was not according to calibration of government of approved
Page 17
weights. I made strict rule for that before starting any work did calibration of weight
machines and if found any linkage or lose packing then did not receive any material.
By doing that quality improved well.
I found the cleaning of area done only once in a day by using normal water. I made
changes in procedure like when any one start cleaning it should be done in the
presence of chemist of each department and it has responsibility to use IPA solution
for cleaning and it should be done 3 times in a day. If any error found about cleaning
during any time audit by Quality officer then the officer directly report to the director
of company. IPA solution must have proper labeled with name and date of preparation
and expiry date.
One important thing that I found in expiry and rejected area room. In these rooms
have many expired materials and rejected materials but the stock list for that was not
there. Then I check stock according to batch number, the stock quality of material was
not in proper quantity. After that I had personally check all material and did weights
and note down the quantity and I have given to all to warehouse officer and made log
sheet for both room, so whenever any material came as a rejecter or expired must did
entry in log sheet.
The arrangement of finished product not according to Batch number and touched with
wall and floor. I said use rack for to avoid touching with wall and floor and always
put labeled that it was approved for dispatched or it was in under test. So maintain the
quality of the finished product.
One thing I saw the loading personal when enter in ware house area should not wear
the over growning, so I told all must wear over growning if you enter in the company.
And the entire door must be closed before after entry and officer of warehouse use air
cutter and U.V light during loading and fill up the log sheets.
I saw temperature was not maintaining in that area, so I personally checked twice a
day in that area and tried to maintain it with the help of engineer or maintenance. As a
result quality improved of whole area.
Dispensing Area:
Before:
2013
The status and approved label on the Raw material shown same colour and it should
not contain the description.
Many of Material Bag touched with the wall.
Page 18
The store officer and the worker who did dispensing they have not proper knowledge
about dispensing and how to use scoop and Luminar Air Flow machine for
dispensing.
Liquid pump cleaning procedure was also not available in my company.
Container for dispensed material was not available.
All material was not separate.
Line clearance was not done before dispensing another Batch material.
The bag which used for dispensed material was not stronger.
After:
2013
We have made proper colour for approved material which contains full details with
expiry, manufacturing, and storage condition details including full name and batch
number. So by
doing that proper stocks maintain and quality is improved.
We tried to proper arrangement of material bag by arranging rack, so as a result bag
was not touched with wall.
The most important thing I participated dispensing procedure and found errors which
affects the quality of product. After that we made change how to do dispensing for
example first dispense inactive, second active colorless, third active color and then
flavor.
We made another things like how to use LAf ? I told before dispensing LAF should
start for 30 min then start dispensing. By doing , those particles of previous product
Page 19
material is pulled by LAf so active ingredient of previous product did not affect the
new dispensing material.
I made available buckets for to put dispensed material by reporting to director.
Pump which used for liquid material dispensing made proper cleaned by making
procedure for proper cleaning and made status label for it for example, cleaned, not
cleaned, under maintenance.
All material made separate according to party materials by giving rack number and
each rack contained with list of details material which was available in the rack.
After reporting the purchase officer successful to make available of stronger bags for
dispensing materials. Line clearance of Area log sheet made by me. Finally quality of
area and product increased.
Production Department:
Before:
-
2013
In this department the pressure checker of each section was not available.
The proper growning of workers and chemist was not available.
Proper cleaning of tank for change product done as same as regular cleaning.
Only one filter press was available for filtration.
Floor cleaning of area was not proper always found water on floor.
Cooling and heating machines was not good its took long time for cleaning and
heating.
Drainage cleaning was not done according to CGMP.
Tank calibration was not done after one year.
During addition of active material and volume check of batch Quality Assurance was
not available with production chemist.
Air filter cleaning was done by only normal water.
Weight machine was not available in the production department.
The storage area temperature was not maintained.
Ultra violet light record was not available in production department.
Fumigation was not done in the production.
Page 20
After:
-
2013
By taking help of engineer made available pressure checker machines for each area.
Chemist started note down pressure of each day in log sheet. By doing that we came
to know temperature of area maintained.
Growning made different colour with proper shoes, mask and clothes.
For change product started to used teepol solution and air gun pressure machines for
tank cleaning and after cleaning must test the water test of tank.
We made available one more filter press for filtration of product because one filter
press took more time and cleaning was not done proper because of high load. So
quality of product improved.
Proper cleaning of four made every day so moisture problem reduced. By discussing
with director and engineer made proper cooling and heating machines as a result
process become faster and better and risk of microorganism grow in long process
reduced.
Tank calibration done every year by certified authority person every year and
drainage cleaned three times in a day by using solution.
I have checked active material addition procedure by participating and made changes
in procedure with proper dissolve and washed bag proper during addition by using
DM water.
Air Filtration procedure made by me according to CGMP and weight machines also
made available for rechecking of material according to weight.
U.V. light changed every year and started to make record for that and in storage area
made restricted permission to workers also.
Page 21
Fumigation of area started before the day of holiday by using Kmno4 and
formaldehyde so grow of micro-organism reduced.
Packing Department:
Before:
-
After:
2013
Page 22
Pipe cleaning after finishing batch and starting batch was done in front of me and we
was successful to reduced mixing of active ingredient of different batch .
For bottle washing new machines automatic bought by my company after reporting
by me to director and finally saw process faster and better than previous. Quality also
improved.
Made certified volume checker instrument and it done in the presence of me.
Made available cap sealing checker person and found many error any reduced it by
taking help of engineer.
Try to improve the quality of labeling machines.
Made product packing attractive and with good quality.
Finally I want to say that operation management subject helped me a lot during my job career
and i get better opportunity with the help of operation management subject in my career. As a
result I have maintained quality system in my company operation system.
