This study has been conducted to develop brown stock with the high pressure cooking(HPC) method. The sterilization methods, package film and storage methods, and quality maintenance during storage were investigated in this study. The packaging quality of NY/PP was inferior to that of PE/AL/PP since NY/PP facilitated the ventilation and moisture absorption. The maximum duration of the safe storage was found to be 50 days at 25$^{\circ}C$, 30 days at 35$^{\circ}C$ for NY/PP package film, and 60 days at 25$^{\circ}C$, 40 days at 35$^{\circ}C$ for PE/AL/PP one. These results showed that the overall quality of brown stock by the HPC method was not different significantly from that of brown stock by the traditional approach. Furthermore, the HPC approach might improve the productivity by saving the labour cost, food cost, and cooking time. Therefore, the traditional method might well be substituted by this newly developed method.

This paper investigates the reliability characteristics of a system consisting of a unit operating on-line and backed by n spares among which m units are kept "warm" as standbys ready to go on-line. The on-line unit has an arbitrary lifetime distribution, while the warm standbys have exponential failure time distributions. The Failed units are repaired and brought back to service. The cold spares do not fail while in storage. Solution of this extremely complicated queuing problem using a "renewal counting" approach is presented and extended to the situation where the warming-up takes non-negligible time. Finally, an approach to the economic system management is discussed, considering the long-run availability, cost of keeping spares and repair facility, and the associated cost of restarting the system, after a system failure. The model presented in this paper will have many applications including the determination of the spares inventory and the number of field spares to be "carried".

Network optimization is being increasingly important and fundamental issue in the fields such as engineering, computer science, operations research, transportation, telecommunication, decision support systems, manufacturing, and airline scheduling. Networks provide a useful way to modeling real world problems and are extensively used in practice. Many real world applications impose on more complex issues, such as, complex structure, complex constraints, and multiple objects to be handled simultaneously and make the problem intractable to the traditional approaches. Recent advances in evolutionary computation have made it possible to solve such practical network optimization problems. The invited talk introduces a thorough treatment of evolutionary approaches, i.e., hybrid genetic algorithms approach to network optimization problems, such as, fixed charge transportation problem, minimum cost and maximum flow problem, minimum spanning tree problem, multiple project scheduling problems, scheduling problem in FMS.

In industries, the capability indices $C_p$ and $C_{pk}$ can be used to provide measures of process potential capability and performance, respectively. The new approach advocated by Taguchi in quality control overcomes some problems in other approaches preventive management activities. Taguchi introduces the emphasis on loss function to improve quality of products on the side of customer. The proceeding concept of capability indices is not rational for the measurement of quality if the process mean is not equal to target value. The Taguchi approach is said to be more reasonable than the others in quality evaluation because of his loss function. However, the capability indices $C_{pm}{^+}$ and $C_{pn}$ using Taguchi's loss function only consider, acceptance cost for deviation from target value within specification limits. In other words, they do not include rejection cost for nonconformings that are failed to fall on the specification limits.

In this paper, an approach is presented for determining the required storage capacity of a warehouse with leased public space. Storage assignment policies considered are randomized and class-based storage assignment policies. An analytic model for each of the storage policies is formulated with the objective of minimizing the cost of owned storage space and leased space while satisfying a desired service level of protection against space shortages. Cost functions used in the models are piecewise liear with fixed costs. For the models, algorithms are developed to generate optimal solutions. The approach is applied to the systems where the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is used for all items being stored in the warehouse.

This paper elaborates the significance of scenario planning in risk management, and presents an integrated approach which takes into account the 'Risk Events' derived from scenario planning for risk prioritisation. This research integrates scenario planning with Risk Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (RFMEA) through examples from construction litigations of project schedule and cost overrun cases as a simplified approach to project risk management. The proposed methodology incorporates scenarios developed from realistic events of dispute and arbitration cases from construction projects, and thereby increasing potential to foresee risks and their effects well in advance. The results from this methodology shall be validated against outcome of survey study conducted by KPMG-PMI (2013) on project schedule and cost overruns that was based on Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) Project Monitoring data for 2012-13.

The efficient and rational transmission tariff structure is one of the crucial factors in creation of fair and competitive electricity markets. Transmission charge can be largely categorized into the line usage charge, system reliability charge, access charge and others. Any transmission tariff should be able to reflect these cost components reasonably. This paper suggests an approach amenable to allocating the transmission reliability costs reasonably with reflection of line sensitivity and line outage rate.

There are two steps to solve the self-collision avoidance problems for redundant manipulators. First, all links are regarded as cylinders. and then the collisions should be checked among all pairs of the links. Between two cylinders. we can get the collision information derived from the concept or configuration space obstacle in real time. Therefore. it is possible to detect the links where collisions are likely in real time by setting the risk radius which is larger than actual radius. Second. the configuration control points (CCP) should be placed at the ends of the detected links. A cost function is the sum of the distances between the CCPs. To maximize the cost function means the links go far away each other without self-collisions.

The classical control theory has been developed successfully for the design of a system controller and has evolved continually. Even though sophisticated simulation techniques and software packages are available, there is still some difficulty in the design of a complex system controller at the desk. So the trial and error method is sometimes used to design a new controller, but it requires excess time and cost. This paper suggests a controller design method through the experimental approach. The basic concept is to adjust gradually the design parameters of the controller to the simulation results and experimental data of a similar real system. This method will be a very useful and easy way to design an accurate and/or optimal controller for a real plant while reducing time and giving a good solution at a reasonable cost.

This note proposes a robust LQR method for systems with structured real parameter uncertainty based on Riccati equation approach. Emphasis is on the reduction of design conservatism in the sense of quadratic performance by utilizing the uncertainty structure. The class of uncertainty treated includes all the form of additive real parameter uncertainty, which has the multiple rank structure. To handle the structure of uncertainty, the scaling matrix with block diagonal structure is introduced. By changing the scaling matrix, all the possible set of uncertainty structures can be represented. Modified algebraic Riccati equation (MARE) is newly proposed to obtain a robust feedback control law, which makes the quadratic cost finite for an arbitrary scaling matrix. The remaining design freedom, that is, the scaling matrix is used for minimizing the upper bound of the quadratic cost for all possible set of uncertainties within the given bounds. A design example is shown to demonstrate the simplicity and the effectiveness of proposed method.
