Pharmaceuticals: Just a Cost Factor?
Dr. Daniel Vasella
CEO, Novartis

Location: Bartos Theater
Time: 12:00 - 1:15 pm

Description: Recently, the Pharmaceutical Industry has made headlines - mostly negative ones: high prices, little innovation, patent extensions - the list is long.

In "Pharmaceuticals: Just a Cost Factor?" Daniel Vasella, MD, Chairman and CEO of Novartis AG, provides candid answers to compelling questions: Are Americans spending too much on healthcare and drugs, and are prices for medicines too high? What are we getting in return? Why is Novartis committed to investing in research and development of innovative drugs? Are pharmaceutical companies really interested in helping patients in need, or just financially driven? In answering these questions, Dr. Vasella will explore the business and societal context in which the industry operates, the dynamics of Novartis' search for novel drugs, and the strategy that has made Novartis one of the most successful Pharmaceutical corporations.

After his presentation, Dr. Vasella will answer questions from the audience.

Product Complexity Metrics for Design (a framework)
Carlos Rodriguez-Toro, Cranfield University, UK

Location: E60-225
Start Time: 12:00 pm

Description: The objective of this talk is to present concepts of complexity in support of assembly-oriented design, in order to guide the designer in creating a product with the most effective balance of manufacturing and assembly difficulty. The goal is to provide the designer with such information throughout the design process so that an efficient design is produced in the first instance.

After a brief summary of the research background, it presents the latest challenge in the current project 'the Designers' Sandpit' (The term somehow reflects the truth that research is a form of creative play). A research project and collaborative effort between the Universities of Hull and Cranfield (United Kingdom) with the intention of using design evaluation tools such as Design for Assembly (DFA), which have demonstrated some success in reducing problems such as redesign, rework and a lengthy product introduction period.

The above mentioned challenge is, mainly, the need for considering and measuring complexity in product design and its appraisal during manufacturing analysis and process selection. But, since definitions of the term complexity can be found with so many variations, that is, they are only valid within the appropriate situation, making it nothing but an abstract estimation that heavily depends on the context used. An ideal interpretation is required to compare variants of different complexities and the formulation of metrics that can be used in conjunction with other measures. The final proposal is then the creation of an environment in which complexity makes sense, but can be measured accurately and subjectively, conveying the whole idea of complexity metrics and design advice at the same time.

The current research is still an ongoing work that will eventually be encoded into the projects own software, producing a framework that will give advice to the designer as he/she goes along in his/her task.

Fall 2003 Seminar Series
A Theory of Complexity and Applications
Professor Nam P. Suh
M.I.T.

Description: A complexity theory for engineered systems will be presented from the perspective of Axiomatic Design. The complexity theory is based on a narrow definition of complexity, which is defined as a measure of the uncertainty in achieving functional requirements or objectives. Based on this definition, it will be shown that complexity is a relative measure of uncertainty and that there are four types of complexity. Two of these types are the time-independent real complexity and the time-independent imaginary complexity. The other two types of complexity are the time-dependent combinatorial complexity and the time-dependent periodic complexity. Examples from diverse fields, including biology, materials, and socio-economic areas will be given to illustrate how these complexities can be reduced by changing the design and by introducing functional periodicity. Refreshments will be served before the seminar.
