The purpose of this study is to propose a throughput costing as a performance measurement tool to measure cost indicators, which are one of the indicators for evaluating organizational performance in a smart factory manufacturing environment. An empirical study by questionnaire was conducted, and 60 experts were surveyed to verify the hypothesis. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the information provided based on throughput costing is helpful in cost measurement and in evaluating organizational performance efficiency and effectiveness, and it was confirmed that this method has usefulness to support the planning and control process. It is proposed that the use of throughput costing by constraint theory, which can maximize throughput and optimize inventory levels in the manufacturing process, can find solutions to bottlenecks affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational performance.

EPANET은 U.S. EPA(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 미 환경청)에서 개발한 상수관망 시스템의 수리해석 모의 프로그램으로서, 다양한 상수관망의 설계 및 운영을 모의하기 위해 세계적으로 활발히 활용되고 있다. EPANET 프로그램은 사용자 친화적인 GUI(Graphic User Interface) 환경으로 개발되었으며, 직관적인 네트워크 요소와 폭 넓은 모의 옵션을 제공한다는 장점이 있다. 특히, 상수관망의 실무 및 연구 분야에서는 공학용 분석프로그램과 프로그래밍 언어의 활용이 활발해짐에 따라, 이를 EPANET 프로그램과 연계시킬 수 있는 EPANET Toolkit이 개발되면서 그 활용도는 계속해서 확장될 전망이다. 그러나 지속적인 보완에도 불구하고, 기존의 EPANET Toolkit에서 제공하고 있는 기능은 EPANET 프로그램을 전부 반영하지 못하고 있어 실용성 있는 프로그램의 개발이 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 기존 연구에서는 EPANET Toolkit의 미비한 기능에 대해, "프로그램 수행 - 결과 확인 - EPANET 네트워크 수정"을 반복 수행하여 문제를 해결하였으며, 따라서 복잡하고 세밀한 상수관망 모의 연구에 많은 제약이 존재하였다. 본 연구에서는 EPANET Toolkit의 내부를 수정, 보완하여 기존에 고려하지 못하였던 다양한 기능을 추가하여 관련 연구에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 구체적으로는 Pump Curve를 변경 및 입력하여 Pump 교체를 위한 최적 펌프용량을 결정하거나, Energy Pattern을 입력하여 손쉽게 전력비용을 산정하는 등의 기능이 개선되었다. 그밖에도 EPANET Toolkit의 활용성을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 함수들을 추가적으로 구성하였으며, 이는 펌프 용량 및 효율 곡선과 배수지 설계 등 상수관망 구성요소의 설계에도 폭 넓게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Mobility management is one of the most important research issues in 6LoWPAN, Since the IP-WSN application domain is expanded to real-time applications such as healthcare and surveillance systems, a fast and seamless handover becomes an important criterion in 6LoWPAN. However, a draft of IETF 6LoWPAN WG for mobility support does not decrease handover delay. Although LoWMob supports a fast intra-PAN handover. it can be supported when the infrastructure node has the location information of the other nodes in the mobile node's moving direction. In this paper, we propose a fast and seamless mobility protocol to support intra-PAN handover, named intra-MARIO. In intra-MARIO, a parent node of the mobile node preconfigures its handover to the PAN when the parent node detects its movement, thereby reducing the handover delay. Since intra-MARIO also supports route optimization, the mobile node can communicate with its corresponding nodes through the optimal route. In this paper, we analysis the signaling cost and evaluates that the handover can be completed in 20ms by simulation.

The imbalance of air supply and the exhaust on subway platforms has led to the installation of platform screen doors in underground subway stations. This imbalance causes the accumulation of pollutants on the platform and loss of comfort due to the lack of ventilation. In this study, a floor exhaust system was optimized using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and an optimization program. The optimized floor exhaust system was manufactured and tested experimentally to evaluate the particle collection efficiency. CFX 17.0 and HEEDS were used to analyze the flow field and optimize the principal dimensions of the exhaust system. As a result of the three-step optimization, the optimized floor exhaust system had a total height of 1.78 m, pressure drop of 430 Pa, and particle collection capability of 61%. A fine dust particle collection experiment was conducted using a floor exhaust system that was manufactured at full scale based on the optimized design. The experiment indicated about 65% particle collection efficiency. Therefore, the optimized design can be applied to subway platforms to draw in exhaust air and remove particulate matter at the same time.

The modular construction has several advantages such as high quality of product, safe work condition and short construction duration. The manufacturing planning of modular construction should consider time frame of manufacturing, transport and erection process with limited resources (e.g., modular units, transporter and workers). The manufacturing planning of multi modular construction project manages the modular construction's characteristics and diversity of projects, as a type of modular unit, modular unit quantities, and date for delivery. However, current modular manufacturing planning techniques are weak in dealing with resource interactions and each project requirement in multi modular construction project environments. Inefficient allocation of resources during multi modular construction project may cause delays and cost overruns to construction operation. In this circumstance, this research suggest a manufacturing planning model for schedule optimization of multi project of modular construction, using genetic algorithm as one of the powerful method for schedule optimization with multiple constrained resources. Comparing to the result of the existed schedule of case study, setting optimized scheduling for multi project decrease the total factory producing schedule. By using proposed optimization tool, efficient allocation of resource and saving project time is expected.

Generally, the network topology design problem is characterized as a kind of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, which is difficult to solve with the classical method because it has exponentially increasing complexity with the augmented network size. In this paper, we propose the efficient approach with two phase that is comprised of evolutionary computation approach based on Prufer number(PN), which can efficiently represent the spanning tree, and a heuristic method considering 2-connectivity, to solve the highly reliable network topology design problem minimizing the construction cost subject to network reliability: firstly, to find the spanning tree, genetic algorithm that is the most widely known type of evolutionary computation approach, is used; secondly, a heuristic method is employed, in order to search the optimal network topology based on the spanning tree obtained in the first Phase, considering 2-connectivity. Lastly, the performance of our approach is provided from the results of numerical examples.

This study is conserned for the optimum design of reinforced concrete slab-beam-column structures with multi-storys and multi-bays by Direct Method. Flexural and shear strength, sectional size, and steel ratio etc., were considered as the design-constraints and the cost function was taken as to objective function. They became high degree nonlinear problems. Using SLP as an analytical method of nonlinear optimal problems, an optimal algorithm was developed in this study and the algorithm was applied to the optimization of reinforced concrete structure system of 5 storys. The result converged to a optimal solution with 3 to 5 iterations, and proved that economical design could be possible when compared with conventional designs.

Portfolio selection methods based on stochastic receding horizon approach, which were recently reported in the field of financial engineering, can explicitly consider the dynamic characteristics of wealth evolution and various constraints in the process of performing optimal portfolio selection. In view of the theoretical value, versatility, and effectiveness that receding horizon approach has achieved in many engineering problems, dynamic portfolio selection methods based on stochastic receding horizon optimization technique have the possibility of becoming an important breakthrough. This paper observes through theoretical investigations that the SDP(semi-definite program)-based portfolio selection procedure can be simplified, and has obtained meaningful performance on returns from simulation studies applying the simplified version to Korean financial markets.

We propose new pulse shapes for FCC-compliant ultra-wideband (UWB) radios. The projections onto convex sets (POCS) technique is used to optimize temporal and spectral shapes of UWB pulses under the constraints of all of the desired UWB signal properties: efficient spectral utilization under the FCC spectral mask, time-limitedness, and good autocorrelation. Simulation results show that for all values of the pulse duration, the new pulse shapes not only meet the FCC spectral mask most efficiently, but also have nearly the same autocorrelation functions. It is also observed that our truncated (i.e., strictly time-limited) pulse shapes outperform the truncated Gaussian monocycle in the BER performance of binary TH-PPM systems for the same pulse durations. The POCS technique provides an effective method for designing UWB pulse shapes in terms of its inherent design flexibility and joint optimization capability.
