TLDR
In this paper, the authors examine how to successfully apply project management practices and Lean Six Sigma techniques in a pharmaceutical automation environment to a schedule crash and discuss baseline and complementary resources required for successful automation compliance and schedule crashing.
Abstract
In this article, we examine how to successfully apply project management practices and Lean Six Sigma techniques in a pharmaceutical automation environment to a schedule crash. The article consists of two sections, starting with a case study that describes a successful schedule crash and followed by a brief discussion of baseline and complementary resources required for successful automation compliance and schedule crashing.

Project crashing in the presence of general non-linear activity time reduction costs

TL;DR: A non-linear optimisation model of the resulting generalised crashing problem is formulated, and a convex geometric programming approximation of this model is developed that can be readily extended to handle situations where it is desired to determine the minimum capital investment needed to crash activities.
