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.
