In this study, we consider infinite supply of raw materials and backlogged demands as given two boundary conditions. And we need not make any specific assumptions about the inter-arrival of external demand and service time distributions. Under these situations, the ultimate objective of this study is to prove the variability propagation principle in a pull serial line and is to measure it in terms of the first two moments of the inter-departure process subject to number of cards in each cell. Two preparations are required to achieve this objective : The one is to derive a true lower bound of variance of the inter-departure process. The other is to establish a constrained discrete minimax problem for the no backorder (backlogging) probabilities in each cell. We may get some fundamental results necessary to a completion for the proof through the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of optimal solution of a constrained discrete minimax problem and the implicit function theorem. finally, we propose a numeric model to measure the variability propagation principle. Numeric examples show the validity and applicability of our study.

Purpose Although companies occupied the network market take the advantageous position first and can be successful in securing users over a certain size, it is important to satisfy the customers' demand and prevent the outflow of users toward a new alternative SNS. What is more, there are frequent changes in the flow of users toward new SNSs. Despite these dynamic market circumstances, there is a lack of research to explain the switching behaviors of SNS users. Design/methodology/approach The objective of this study is to explain and verify a specified migration theory(Push-Pull-Mooring model) focused on SNS fatigue in the psychological point of view, as well as reviewing previous studies on functional and technical characteristics of SNSs themselves. Moreover, this study tried to highlight factors affecting users actual SNS switch rather than their switching intention. Findings According to the statistical analysis, the most influenced pull factor to switch SNS was the alternative attractiveness. On the other hand, undesired relationship burden, service innovation and important mooring factors to prevent users' SNS switch. This study has a significant contribution to the theory, which analyzed users' actual SNS switch, and examined SNS users' psychological factors(SNS fatigue), reviewing the characteristics of existing services. To secure more users and to keep them, companies providing social network service need to develop differentiated strategies by analyzing psychological characteristics of various users.

Semiconductor industry is the one whose supply chain network is distributed all over the world. And it has different characteristics with other manufacturing industries as reentrancy, binning, substitution. In this paper, we suggest supply chain models for the semiconductor industry, consisting of production and distribution chains, where manufacturing characteristics are considered. Three policies for the production chain and two policies for the distribution chain are suggested and formulated mathematically. Six combination policies are tested for the evaluation of performances with example. It is shown that the supply chain is operated, if production and distribution are coordinated and managed based on the demand information, without inventory, as efficiently as the chain with inventory.

The steel bars account for a high percentage of material costs for the current construction projects. At the present time, most of the construction projects for the factories of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) complete the transactions of steel bars when the suppliers ship the steel bars to the temporary storage/processing sites. This paper applies the buy-in concept in the Theory of Constraint (TOC) on the supply chain of steel bars. In this study, suppliers are required to establish warehouses at the construction sites and complete the transactions when the formed and processed steel bars are shipped into the factory sites. The aim is to find a win-win solution to meet with the expectations from constructors as they hope that there is no need to build up inventories but supply is ready at any time. Also, this paper compares and analyzes the traditional supply/inventory model of steel bars and the Demand-Pull (D-P) model under the TOC framework. It is proved that Vendor Management Inventory (VMI) in the D-P model is able to more effectively manage steel bars as a material.

한국경제는 지난 수십년간 정부의 수출전략정책에 힘입어 지속적으로 경제 성장을 이룩해왔으며, 수출의 증가는 경제의 효율성 향상, 고용창출, 기술개발 촉진 등 우리나라의 경제 성장을 견인하는 주도적인 역할을 해왔다. 전통적으로 우리나라 수출에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 크게 경제적 요인과 산업구조적 요인이라는 두가지 관점에서 찾아볼 수 있다. 첫번째, 경제적 요인은 환율과 글로벌 경기 변동과 관련된 것으로서, 환율이 우리나라 수출에 미치는 영향은 환율 수준 및 환율 변동성에 따른 영향으로 나누어 살펴볼 수 있으며, 글로벌 경기 변동은 세계 수입 수요에 영향을 미쳐 우리나라 수출을 좌우하는 절대적 요인으로 볼 수 있다. 두 번째, 산업구조적 요인은 국제 분업화의 둔화, 중국의 특정 수입품 자국내 대체 증가, 수출 주력 산업의 해외생산 형태 변화 등 산업이나 제품에 따라 발생한 고유한 특징이다. 가장 최근 글로벌 교류와 관련된 연구들을 살펴보면, 경제적 요인 및 산업구조적 요인과 더불어 문화적인 측면이 중요함을 여러 문헌에서 피력하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 각국의 한국 수입액 예측 모형에 문화적 요인을 함께 반영하여 예측 모형을 개발하고자 하였으며, 구체적으로 문화적 요인이 수입액에 미치는 영향을 PUSH-PULL 프레임워크 관점에서 반영해보고자 하였다. PUSH 관점은 한국이 자신의 브랜드를 개발하고 적극 홍보하는 관점으로 K-POP, K-FOOD, K-CULTURE 등으로 대표되는 한국의 브랜드에 대한 각국의 관심 정도로 정의할 수 있다. 또한, PULL 관점은 각 국가의 국민들의 문화적, 심리적 특징으로 해당 국가의 지배체계, 남성성, 위험 회피성, 시간에 대한 단기/장기 지향성 등으로 대표되는 각 국의 문화 코드로서 한류문화를 얼마나 수용할 성향을 띄고 있는지로 정의할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제시한 최종 예측 모델의 고유한 특징은 Design Principle에 기반하여 설계한 것인데, 1) 신규로 추가한 데이터 소스를 통해 한국에 대한 관심 및 문화적 특성이 반영될 수 있는 모형으로 구축하였고, 2) 경제적 요인 등의 변화와 품목 및 국가 Code를 입력하면 예측값을 바로 불러올 수 있도록 실용적으로 편의성 있게 설계하였으며, 3) 이론적으로도 의미 있는 결과를 도출하기 위해서 입력과 목표 변수간의 관계를 해석 가능한 알고리즘을 중심으로 설계하였다는 점이다. 본 연구는 기술적 측면, 경제적 측면, 정책적 측면에서 의미 있는 시사점을 제시할 수 있으며, 수입액 예측 모형을 활용하여 중소·중견기업의 수출 지원 전략에 의미 있는 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

MTO (Make to Order) is a manufacturing process in which manufacturing starts only after a customer's order is received. Manufacturing after receiving customer's orders means to start a pull-type supply chain operation because manufacturing is performed when demand is confirmed, i.e. being pulled by demand (The opposite business model is to manufacture products for stock MTS (Make to Stock), which is push-type production). There are also BTO (Build to Order) and ATO (Assemble To Order) in which assembly starts according to demand. Lean manufacturing by MTO is very efficient system. Nevertheless, the process industry, generally, which has a high fixed cost burden due to large-scale investment is suitable for mass production of small pieces or 'mass customization' defined recently. The process industry produces large quantities at one time because of the lack of manufacturing flexibility due to long time for model change or job change, and high loss during line-down (shutdown). As a result, it has a lot of inventory and costs are increased. In order to reduce the cost due to the characteristics of the process industry, which has a high fixed cost per hour, it operates a stock production system in which it is made and sold regardless of the order of the customer. Therefore, in a business environment where the external environment changes greatly, the inventory is not sold and it becomes obsolete. As a result, the company's costs increase, profits fall, and it make more difficult to survive in the competition. Based on the customer's order, we have built a new method for order system to meet the characteristics of the process industry by producing it as a high-profitable model. The design elements are designed by deriving the functions to satisfy the Y by collecting the internal and external VOC (voice of customer), and the design elements are verified through the conversion function. And the Y is satisfied through the pilot test verified and supplemented. By operating this make to order system, we have reduced bad inventories, lowered costs, and improved lead time in terms of delivery competitiveness. Make to order system in the process industry is effective for the display glass industry, for example, B and C groups which are non-flagship models, have confirmed that the line is down when there is no order, and A group which is flagship model, have confirmed stock production when there is no order.

The skyrocketing inflation of medical costs has become a major health problem among most developed countries. Korea, which recently covered the entire population with National Health Insurance, is facing the same problem. The proportion of health expenditure to GNP has increased from 3% to 4.8% during the last decade. This was remarkable, if we consider the rapid economic growth during that time. A few policy analysts began to raise cost containment as an agenda, after recognizing the importance of medical cost inflation. In order to Prepare an appropriate alternative for the agenda, it is necessary to find out reasons for the cost inflation. Then, we should focus on the reasons which are controllable, and those whose control are socially desirable. This study is designed to articulate the theory of medical cost inflation through literature reviews, to find out reasons for cost inflation, by analyzing aggregated data with a deterministic model. Finally to identify determinants of changes in both medical demand and service intensity which are major reasons for cost inflation. The reasons for cost inflation are classified into cost push inflation and demand pull inflation, The former consists of increases in price and intensity of services, while the latter is made of consumer derived demand and supplier induced demand. We used a time series (1983-1987), and cross sectional (over regions) data of health insurance. The deterministic model reveals, that an increase in service intensity is a major cause of inflation in the case of inpatient care, while, more utilization, is a primary attribute in the case of physician visits. Multiple regression analysis shows that an increase in hospital beds is a leading explanatory variable for the increase in hospital care. It also reveals, that an introduction of a deductible clause, an increase in hospital beds and degree of urbanization, are statistically significant variables explaining physician visits. The results are consistent with the existing theory, The magnitude of service intensity is influenced by the level of co-payment, the proportion of old age and an increase in co-payment. In short, an increase in co-payment reduced the utilization, but it induced more intensities or services. We can conclude that the strict fee regulation or increase in the level of co-payment can not be an effective measure for cost containment under the fee for service system. Because the provider can react against the regulation by inducing more services.

Toe public library may perform a social good only when its objectives are adequate to the community's needs. The present purpose of the public library in the Korean Library Act has no direct concern for our social needs from its very beginning because it was not created in response to our social needs but transplanted from American principles. It is, therefore. difficult to expect socially useful output of our public library programs under the present purpose which may be inadequate to our social tradition and needs. This study purposes to examine validity of the present purpose of the public library in the Korean Library Act, in the light of our community needs and our own library tradition. The methods employed to achieve the purpose of the study are (1) to survey needs of the library frequenters through questionnaire, and interviews with the public librarians in Seoul, (2) to gather the statistical data relevant to, and supporting, the hypothesis, and (3) to compare our social background with that of the United States of which the American purpose, a model for our present purpose, came out. The conclusion is as follows: A. The idea to induce people to pull themselves upward by providing for all the members of the community access to the world's best books shelved in the public library should be abandoned. The reasons are (1) that the idea is alien in our public library tradition, (2) that little demand of the community goes with the idea, and (3) that reading outside the library has come into wide practice, thanks to recent increase in individual income and that in publications. B. That the public library maintains fiction and other recreational reading materials is meaningless in the light of the community needs. These are the two explanations supporting the thesis. (1) The "uplift" theory has proved inoperative and people apparently do not progress from, light fiction to more respectable fare. (2) The conviction that fiction and other recreational reading materials keep the middling classes from the "vicious" entertainments maintaining order in the community by giving them a harmless source of recreation has lost its significance as the modern society provides a number of choices in recreation: television is an obvious example. C. The nature of the informational needs of the community has radically changed, so radically as to require substantial changes in the outlook, collections, and services of the public library, which is :slow in adopting itself to the new social surroundings in Korea. D. 92.2 per Cent of the present frequenters of the public library are high school and college students. Since the library is to meet the existing community needs it should turn its attention to the student group, and develop the means to serve it better, not the "theoretical group of specialists who do not come to "the public library. E. In revision of the purpose of the public library, priority of each objective should be given. The priorities in the last analysis are research and information. culture, recreation in that order.
