Continuous Improvement is a central concept in the quality movement. In almost all descriptions of quality initiatives Continuous Improvement is central. Even in ISO 9000:2000 that has been recognised. In this paper we will discuss the role of continuous Improvement within the quality movement, its relation to knowledge management and, especially, its origin in pragmatic philosophy.

Continuous quality improvement is now the focus of research and application in quality engineering. To achieve continuous improvement, it's necessary to integrate quality tools and to plan, design and control the whole process of creating quality. Based on the extensive literature review and the philosophy of concurrent quality engineering, the paper analyzes the relationships among major quality tools such as QFD, FMEA, DOE and SPC and presents a basic model and structure for the integration of quality tools.

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) has been promoting progresses of the social, and which is being studied and applied in much more widespread area at present. This paper systematically studies and reports research results of continuous quality improvement, involved in several key viewpoints of CQI such as the background of management and engineering philosophy on CQI, the objectives of CQI, the ways to implement CQI, the objects of CQI based on process. In terms of management methodology, the results of discussion on Benchmarking & CQI, standardization management and its certification & CQI, TQM pyramid & CQI and self-assessment & CQI etc. are reported. In quality engineering field, CQI culture of variation reduction is presented. Actually this paper is a comprehensive research project report of 'Continuous Quality Improvement System', supported jointly by NSFC and KOSEF.

In this study, we examined the effect of customer satisfaction and switching cost on continuous use intention to suggest how organizations can retain their customers when market growth slows down and competition becomes stronger. We carefully developed and modified survey instruments through a pre-test, and subsequently surveyed 432 dental care users in Seoul and Busan areas. As a result of regression analysis, higher procedural learning switching cost, relational switching cost, and customer satisfaction were manifested in the increased continuous use intention. In contrast, higher financial switching cost and customer satisfaction with insufficient effort for information acquisition led to decreased switching intention. In addition, procedural initial switching cost and residents in Seoul led to increased switching intention. Understanding continuous use intention and switching intention is important for healthcare institutions striving to maintain market position. The findings of this study suggest a paradigm shift from conventional transactional marketing to strategic relational marketing to be effective in the healthcare environment today.

Continuous casting equipment was designed to cast the metallic uranium rods, and a thermal analysis was carried out to calculate the temperature and solidification profiles. Fluid flow and heat transfer analysis model including the effects of phase change was used to simulate the continuous casting process by finite volume method. In the design of continuous casting equipment, the casting speed, pouring temperature and cooling conditions should be considered as significant factors. In this study, the effects of casting speed, pouring temperature, and air gap between the uranium and mold were investigate. The results represented that the temperature and solidification profiles of continuous casting equipment varied with the casting speed, pouring temperature, and air gap.

This study attempted to examine the structural relationship between the main factors that determine the intention to continue participation in yacht activities. Specifically, motivation for yacht activities was divided into achievement motivation, social motivation, escapist motivation, conspicuous motivation, and hedonic motivation, and the effect of each motivation on the satisfaction and continuous intention of yacht activities was examined. This study surveyed 338 ordinary people who were interested in yacht activities or had experience in yacht activities, and verified the main hypothesis through regression analysis. The main analysis results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that achievement motivation did not affect satisfaction. Second, it was found that social motivation had a positive (+) effect on satisfaction. Third, it was found that escapist motivation had a positive (+) effect on satisfaction. Fourth, it was found that the conspicuous motivation had a positive (+) effect on satisfaction. Fifth, it was found that hedonic motivation had a positive (+) effect on satisfaction. Sixth, it was found that the achievement motivation had a positive (+) effect on continuous intention. Seventh, it was found that social motivation did not affect continuous intention. Eighth, it was found that escapist motivation had a positive (+) effect on continuous intention. Ninth, it was found that the conspicuous motivation did not affect continuous intention. Tenth, it was found that the hedonic motivation had a positive (+) effect on continuous intention. Eleven, satisfaction was found to have a positive (+) effect on continuous intention. This study derived academic and practical implications based on the analysis results and proposed future research directions.

Technology companies launched their intelligent personal assistants (IPAs). IPAs not only provide individuals with a convenient way to interact with technology but also offer them the opportunity to interact with AI in a useful and meaningful form. Therefore, the global IPAs have experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. But maintaining continuous usage intention is still a massive challenge for developers and marketers and previous technology adoption models are not enough to explain continuous usage intention of IPAs. Thus, we adopted the bi-dimensional perspectives of utilitarian and hedonic value in this research model, and investigated how three characteristics of IPAs - anthropomorphism, autonomy, and intelligence - affect utilitarian value and hedonic value, which in turn continuous usage intentions. 227 data were collected from IPA users. The results showed that IPAs' continuous usage intention is significantly determined by both utilitarian and hedonic value, with the hedonic value being more prominent. In addition, the results showed that anthropomorphism and intelligence are the most important antecedents of utilitarian and hedonistic value. The results also illustrated that autonomy is a crucial predictor of utilitarian value rather than hedonistic value. Our work contributes to current research by widening the theoretical understanding of the effect of IPA characteristics on continuous usage intention through bi-dimensional values. Our paper also provides IPAs' developer and marketer guidelines for enhancing continuous usage intention.
