What time is this on other side of GLOBE!!!?



Technology has bridged gaps between continents. Around 70 – 80 % of multinational companies are have there branch offices, sites office at diversified locations. Usually people go and visit website, try time converters, asks colleagues for timings at other continent. But, being self dependent is mantra these days!!

- Download a World Time Converter!!

World Time Convertercan be easily downloaded and installed in the system.


Advantage of using World Time Converter
  • Free
  • You can SET time zones as per your choice , it keep them clocking all the time.
  • Place shortcut in startup menu, hence no need to start it all time.
  • Draft it in be only visible on clock click (so task bar is also free).
  • Small icon “near date n time ” that’s it.
  • BIG one, this software can also be used to for POP UP reminders!!
When was last time your BOSS reminded you for pending TASKS !!!!
What you usually use at workplace for write TO Dos
  • Note Books
    (Which usually get lost, have tear pages after some time, you forget where you have written last notes, etc)
  • Stick Notes
(After a while, stick notes gum looses its adhesiveness, some one removes its by mistakes, etc)

- Use Microsoft Outlook Notes


Microsoft Outlook comes a bundle pack with MS Office. If you are using Outlook for first time on your PC, you need to make profile (just give your own name). On LHS there are links for Mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts.(sample pic below). Create a new one (e.g. title TO DO) start writing all pending tasks you have and create shortcut on desktop (you may even further link shortcut to start-up). This will now act as permanent notes on desktop.

Advantages of using Microsoft Outlook Notes
  • Its Free!!
  • Once created shortcut, no need to start outlook
  • Whatever you write, no need to save (write it and forget it, it will remain there!)

The analysis of overall supply chain is called the value system. Different parts of the value chain 1.  Supplier     2.  Firm       3.   Channel 4 .   Buyer

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
