  • Korea dairy market has greatly expanded recently by growing up the consumer's demands of high quality of milk products and their functionality due to expanding of well being lift trends. However, life cycle of dairy products is shorter than ever before and low birth rate is a common trend of Korean people. Moreover due to the national economy crisis, most of dairy companies are faced with the pressure of new milk products development and their sales. This paper deals with the development of Korea dairy industry by chronological order and deals with the future applicable new dairy foods and advanced dairy technology.

  • As the importance of time-based competition is increasing, information systems for supporting the immediate decision making is strongly required. Especially high -tech product firms are under extreme pressure of rapid response to the demand side due to relatively short life cycle of the product. Therefore, the objective of our research is proposing a framework of estimating demand curve based on e-auction data, which is extremely easy to access and well reflect the limited demand curve in that channel. Firstly, we identify the advantages of using e-auction data for full demand curve estimation and then verify it using Agent-Eased-Modeling and Tobin's censored regression model.

  • Nanotechnology is now applied to many industries, resulting in wide range of nanomaterial-containing products, such as electronic components, cosmetic, medicines, vehicles, and home appliances. Nanoparticles can be released throughout the life cycle of nanoproducts, including the manufacture, consumer use, and disposal, thereby involving workers, consumers, and the environment in potential exposure. However, there is no current consensus on the best sampling method for characterizing manufactured-nanoparticle exposure. Therefore, this report aims to provide a standard method for assessing nanoparticle exposure, including the identification of nanoparticle emission, the assessment of worker exposure, and the evaluation of exposure mitigation actions in nanomaterial-handling workplaces or research institutes.

  • Recently, to be satisfied the consumer's demand the life cycle and the lead time of product is to be shorted. So it is important to reduce the time and cost in manufacturing prototypal mold. These days, in order to reduce the lead time and cost high speed machining is highlighted. In the paper, using the high speed machining and aluminum-7075, the fundamental experiment is implemented in the change of cutting force, machining time, surface characteristic according to the tool path. And then the prototypal mold of the automatic knob is machined.

  • Two-page spread sheet advertising appearing on monthly women's magazine were selected and analyzed for this study. All 299 advertisements were sampled from 5 kinds of women's magazines published from January to June in 2002. The results shows that; 1) all elements of layout in advertisements are significantly related to product life cycle; 2) Similarity of layout type proposed to differentiate layout from competitor's advertisements; 3) Realistic picture of products using high technological equipments and skill occupied most of ad space. It proposed the possibility of varied illustration type; finally, Using foreign models both imported products and domestic products are increased. It shows that the level of westernized insight of current consumer.

  • Value can be defined as function divided by cost. The ultimate goal of VE (Value Engineering) is to simultaneously reduce cost and to enhance function in given projects. In general, there are eight phases (Selection, Investigation, Speculation, Evaluation, Development. Presentation, Implementation, and Audit) to perform VE. This paper presents analysis of important factors for VE in construction fields using QFD (Quality Function Deployment) technique. QFD was introduced in 1972 to help design supertanker in Mitsubish's shipyards in Kob, Japan and formally defined by the American Supplier Institute in 1987 as a system for translating consumer requirements into appropriate company requirements at every stage, from research, through product design and development, to manufacture, distribution, installation, and marketing, sales and services. The objective of this paper is to provide and analyze the trend on the viewpoint of efficient value engineering of field workers. The data are collected by questionnaires. The samples for this study are chosen from 13 companies in Korea during 2 months (2002. 7 ∼ 2002. 8). The results of this study will play an important role not only for the efficient value engineering but also for preparing of life cycle cost analysis.

  • The aim of this paper is to show how LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) is used as a tool to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with EMU(Electronic Motor Unit), especially one of main components, an interior panel. Thus, the LCA results are polished into the general environmental product declaration format to communicate with the industrial and institutional customers. The format includes the product information and environmental information. In the list of environmental information, profile is consisted of two major results from the LCA study. One is the inventory analysis and the other is the characterized impact results. The format shown in this paper can be the one of option to choose environmentally preferable product and suggestion aimed at the institutional consumer such as government procurement office and corporation's purchasing department.

  • Commercial home appliances using remotely controlled systems consume electric power while in standby mode to prepare for receiving a remote turn-on signal. The proposed power system can significantly reduce standby power consumption without increasing cost. Furthermore, since a Electronic Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) is used as an auxiliary power storage element, the life cycle is longer and system reliability can be better than with existing approaches. When the energy of the EDLC is not sufficient for turning on the appliance, the power system charges the EDLC without affecting the main system. The proposed power system is verified with a commercial LCD TV and a 3.93mW standby consumption is obtained. This standby consumption can be regarded as zero standby equipment according to the IEC-62031 standard.

  • The Quality Assurance System proposed in this study is based on the functional deployment of quality, which is an integration of the FAST(Functional Analysis System Techique) in VE(Value Engineering) and the Quality Development Method of TQC(Total Quality Control). The proposed Quality Function Deployment is proved to be an efficient tool for the consistent management of quality Assurance in every stages of product life cycle. The purpose of this study is therefore to develop practical and systematic methods for quality assurance activities, so as to satisfy the consumer's needs at the most economic level. To verify the feasibility of this approch, a case study is performed.
