There are few factors like a due date observance of the customer's order, reducing the manufacturing lead time, and minimizing the inventory investment to successfully run the manufacturing system. It is difficult for corporation and a person concerned to be offered indicators to achieve few factors mentioned above from complex manufacturing systems having much fluctuations. Simplified-DBR based on TOC(Theory of Constraints) is a management paradigm which can offer indicators to effectively face with fluctuating market's needs when market's demand is smaller than a capacity of manufacturing system. This paper is offering a core indicator and management model which is needed to successfully run the manufacturing system for corporation and a person concerned who have short experience and knowledge and newly construct Sinplified-DBR manufacturing system. Thus, this paper provides a systemic guidance in the offered model through the simulation.

Logistics optimization problems related with vehicle routing such as warehouse locating, track scheduling, customer order delivery, wastage pickup etc. are very interesting and important issues to date. Many Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Systems (VRSS) have been developed/proposed to optimize the logistics problems. But majority of them are dedicated to a particular problem and are unable to handle the real world spatial data directly. The system developed for one problem may not be suitable for others due to inter-problem constraint variations. The constraints may include geographical, environmental and road traffic nature of the working region along with other constraints related with the problem. So the developer always needs to modify the original routing algorithm in order to fulfill the purpose. In our study, we propose a general-purpose platform by combining GIS road map and Database Management System (DBMS), so that VRSS can interact with real world spatial data directly to solve different kinds of vehicle routing problems. Using the features of our developed system, the developer can frequently modify the existing algorithm or create a new one to serve the purpose.

Purpose: This study investigates the best appointment pattern which can enhance customer's satisfaction and hospital's efficient management reflecting plastic surgery clinic's service characteristics. Methodology: The data of this study is obtained from Plastic surgery Clinic which is located in the civic center. By collecting and analyzing the data, we build the simulation model using ARENA. Based on 5 appointment patterns that was suggested in formal appointment scheduling studies, we experiment 3 simulation models; 'Basic Appointment Pattern' that has no restriction, 'Restriction on Second Customer' that restricts the number of second customer's in each slot, 'Restriction on Process Time' that restricts the number of second customer who has long process time in each slot. We can check robustness of the appointment patterns by experimenting on off-peak day and peak day, during peak season. Findings: This study confirms that these 2 restrictions can give a better result than 'Basic Appointment Pattern' that just simply distributes customers by number. Especially, the performance of Triangle-like pattern which is the best appointment pattern in the formal study has been improved by adding restrictions. Based on 'DET', 'Restriction on Second Customer' shows a better result. Meanwhile, based on 'E(WT)', 'Restriction on Process Time' shows a better result. Overall, based on 'DET+E(WT)', 'Restriction on Second Customer' shows a better result. Practical Implications: The purpose of each hospital may alter as demand for plastic surgery grows increasingly. Thus, each hospital should be always prepared to introduce appointment pattern for changed purpose. In order to respond flexibly to these changes, it is necessary for medical personnel to improve the awareness or for hospital to create an environment by constructing appointment program so that medical personnel does not need to put more labor on work.

Production planning and control system plays an important role in manufacturing companies because it determines all production capacity planning, material procurement planning, and production scheduling which are needed in the process of producing products. Many researches on production planning and control system have been conducted for many manufacturing companies for recent decade. But, a considerable research achievement has mainly been obtained on the forecast-driven production for a make-to-stock and an assemble-to-order. The reason is that there are some hardships such as difficulties of standardizing product information, the frequent changes of design and material, and the unexpected dynamic events that influence the production of customer's order in a make-to-order or an engineering-to-order environments. By these characteristics and their complexities, some studies for production planning and control system in a make-to-order environment are presented recently. In this paper, we present the framework of the hietachical production planning and control for a make-to-order environment with dynamic events. In order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed framework for a hietachical production planning and control, the information system for a make-to-order production was implemented with the object of the company of producing electricity transformer.

As competition in manufacturing enterprise is contested, the scope of safely production planning, manufacturing enterprise should ensure, has been reduced. The more upstream of SCM, the more reduction of scope of production planning. As a result, order fluctuation is more sharply contested. Through improving the logistics network, it is best way that the end user's demand information is conveyed to upstream of SCM, but it is difficult in fact. In this paper, it mention the way of robustic adjustment, in the suppliers' point of view, the end user's demand information is dammed up, as they postpone responding the customer's order as a possible. And it will show the result of appling the way, as a case study.

This paper deals with an application of process value analysis method for a manufacturing process in order to redesign facility layout in a paper company. We have used the value analysis method which permits an overall and rigorous study of process by a functional approach. Firstly, customer's expectations for the future process are clearly and precisely expressed with specifications of the Functional Extern Analysis. The existing process is analyzed using various tool of the Functional Internal Analysis in the second part. From the results of these analysis, we find out that the main problems of current facility are due to scheduling and facility layout. This paper is devoted to resolve the second problem. We suggest an ideal solution in order to have a reference solution. Nextly, We give realistic choices and the final solution for the facility layout.

ATM over xDSL으로 구성된 광대역 가입자 망을 통하여, ATM 망에 접속하려 할 때에는 DSL 접근 다중화기(Access Multiplexer)가 필수적으로 요구된다. 이 때 광대역 통합 서비스라는 가입자 망의 기본적인 목적을 달성하기 위하여, DSL 접근 다중화기는 ATM 계층에서의 트래픽 제어를 수행할 수 있어야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DSL 접근 다중화기에서의 트래픽 제어에 필요한 효율적이고 간단한 셀 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. 성능평가를 위한 모의실험에 의하면, 제안된 기법은 각 연결들에게 그들의 트래픽 기술자에 부합하는 서비스를 제공할 수 있으며, 아울러 연결들이 명세한 셀 손실률에 근거하여 차별화 된 서비스 품질(QoS)을 제공할 수 있다.Abstract When residential users access core network via ATM over xDSL, DSL Access Multiplexer(DSLAM) which processes ATM cells transmitted from customer premises, is indispensable. In order to fulfill original goal of residential broadband integrated service, DSLAM should be able to perform ATM layer traffic management, mainly QoS(Quality of Service) provision. In this paper, we propose an efficient and simple cell scheduling scheme applicable to access multiplexer such as DSLAM. According to simulations for performance evaluation, the proposed cell scheduling scheme is able to supply bandwidths conforming to traffic descriptors of the connections. Moreover it is verified that the proposed scheme has a CLR based connection discrimination capability.

A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. SCM(Supp1y Chain Management), by definition, encompasses all activities associated with moving goods, from the raw materials stage through to the end user. It includes source and procurement, production scheduling, order processing, inventory management, transportation, warehousing, and customer service. Importantly, it encompasses the information systems used to monitor these activities. In this paper, the present situation and problems of marketing process in Korean agricultural environments were reviewed through a systematic methodology, and then we proposed a new business process for solving these problems by appling a supply chain management. We expect this supply chain management system applied to agricultural marketing process can improve significantly the rationality and transparency of Korean agricultural marketing structure.

The airport processes are restricted by some limits of performance objects as size of airport, ability of human resources, capacity of facilities and operational rules. These limitations make passenger handling difficult when passenger numbers increase. In order to solve this problem, we modeled the airport process and analyzed departure passenger arrival, scheduled security manpower under specific customer service level maintenance with mixed integer programming and validate the efficiency with simulation with adapting smart airport framework. We concluded that the airport management with information techniques can reduce waiting time within security and immigration process.
