Heuristic Search Algorithms Explained
A* Search Algorithm (A-Star)
A* (A-Star) is an informed search algorithm that finds the shortest path from a start node to a goal node using heuristics. It combines the advantages of Uniform Cost Search and Greedy Best-First Search.
A* Formula
f(n) = g(n) + h(n)
- g(n): Cost from the start node to the current node.
- h(n): Estimated cost from the current node to the goal (heuristic).
- f(n): Total estimated cost of the path through the current node.
Example of A* Search
Suppose

Data Warehousing and Data Mining Fundamentals
In today’s data-driven world, organizations rely on robust systems not only to store massive amounts of information but also to extract hidden meaning and trends. At the heart of this process are two interrelated disciplines: data warehousing and data mining.
Data Warehousing: Consolidation and Analytics

Production Planning and Operations Scheduling
Planning and control are essential to achieve Master Production Schedule (MPS) efficiency. They are used to evaluate and control pending orders and set priorities between orders. Operations Scheduling determines which operations to execute first to meet delivery dates.
Types of Production Configuration
- Project Configuration: Used for complex projects, requiring unique planning for each project.
- Continuous Configuration: Machinery is located as a chain. This
Branch Accounting Methods and Systems for Business Expansion
Understanding Business Branches
A branch is an extension or subdivision of a large business, operating in different geographical locations under the control of a head office.
Example: The Bata Shoe Company often operates branches in various towns and cities.
The Role of the Head Office
The Head Office is the principal place of business that establishes and controls all branches. It provides directions and controls the operations of all branches.
Key Characteristics of a Business Branch
