Remanufacturing refers to restoring a used product to an acceptable condition for resale in the market of remanufactured items. In this paper, we deal with the acquisition price and remanufacturing decision for remanufacturing systems in the case where the demand for the remanufactured product in a single period is known and the return quantity of the used product is determined by its acquisition price. The quality of the acquired used product is categorized into two classes, high and low, through inspection and different qualities incur different remanufacturing costs. The probability that the acquired used product is categorized as high class can be a constant or random variable. We derive the expected total cost functions, obtain the optimal solutions, and interpret the managerial meaning of the optimal solution for each case. The sensitivity of the optimal solution with respect to the variation of the inspection cost and uncertainty of the quality of the used product is investigated through numerical examples.

Trends of integrating products and services lead to the emergence of Product-Service System (PSS). To implement and embody a PSS solution in new product development, a comprehensive design framework is allowed designers to facilitate the design factors of the PSS in complex business environments. A physical product, containing functionalities for services, is the role of medium between customers and a manufactures. Customers can access those metaphysical interfaces to utilize the product fully or expand its performances. The PSS is aiming to prolong its lifecycle while maintaining its expected quality. Since the quality can be represented as a measure which belongs to user's perspective, guaranteeing certain level of quality can be interpreted to sustaining customer satisfaction. The objective of this paper is to propose a PSS design framework to identify design factors for developing products and services by integrating object-oriented concepts and blueprinting in context of a business ecosystem. The proposed model is developed based on relationship products and services matching with their design factors. The products and the services are then brought together to form a PSS. Functions and processes can be categorized to identify the design factors in different levels using the object-oriented concepts. Objected-oriented concepts provide PSS analysis tools for describing a business process or a workflow process in the PSS. The blueprint is used to identify the relationships between the products functions and the service processes that are offered as part of a job. To demonstrate of the effectiveness of the proposed model, we use a case study involving a smart phone.

product to assign objectives for target manufacturing cost on the basis of consumer's function envaluation. The principal purposes of the study include: to improve product differentiation for those products with major usability functions and to prepare effective steps of product concept formulation. Since scant research has been conducted toward the approach suggested above, this study suggests a new method using conjoint analysis for classifying goals of manufacturing costs based on customer's function evaluation. The ultimate goal of this study is to compare and check. The cost estimate for each structure, and eventually to decide target cost values to be reasonably understood by the R&D team.

There are many studies to measure and compare Korean foot length or foot shape. However, to make high-valued shoe product, it is not easy to find the research results about the shoe's products that include the customer requirements, price, and color. The purpose of this study is to investigate the customer's requirements for men's shoe product using the survey method, to analysis customer's needs, and to supply information to make the shoe that they want.

The study analyzes about brand image's effect and change when customers purchase product. Purpose of this study suggests how to influence that brand image come up to product purchase to cosmetic customer . Consumers compare with product and trademark when they select product. Consumers evaluate dissatisfaction and satisfaction about goods that they choose through comparison and analysis. Find the factor that decides consumer's choice. Give weight by the scores of each factor's relative importance. The purpose of this study is find various requirement of consumers and present efficient marketing activity through theoretical verification and actual proof analysis .

Modular BOMs are typically used in TWO-Level Master Production Schedule. To solve the problems of Modular BOM generation and efficient DB construction, we proposed Value Clustering Method. Based upon Where-Used matrix of products and components, VCM is the method to find out module by generating product family group value, product value, and component value. We also proposed method to find out information about Modules, algorithms to find out Modules that show Alternative Usage Pattern, and method to find out Modules used in a given product. We also compared the DB creation method by Value Clustering Method and by conventional method. We compared the size of DB in both methods. We mathematically proved that the proposed method is doing better as the size and complexity of product family gets larger and more complicated.

The basic principle of the product manufacturing technology using the 3D printing technique materializes the material including the high molecular substance or plastic and metallic dust, and etc. the product into the laminate additive manufacturing according to the design diagram gradually. It is applied to the various industrial field including the field of food division, field of home appliances, field of medicine, field of mechanical department and construction, etc.. The global development case of 3D printing technique is the next. This study described global technology and market trends. Afterward, 3D printing technique manages the important role when it exceeds the product manufacturing view just and is grafted with the various technology including the biotechnology, nanotechnology, and etc. and it improves the quality of the human life.

Involvement was defined customers has been the standard of interest of product, service, company. Involvement can explain customers doing more detail than any conception. In the light of this, the brand awareness is important factor to reduce the perceived risk. Therefore, we measured the brand awareness to study whether it affects on decision of product. As a result of study, we could get the following outcome. We found out that the brand awareness effects positive influence on consumer to choose a travel agency. It can be considered as a natural result, but it proved that the brand awareness has a quite important role for decision making process. This study has investigated the relationships between brand awareness satisfaction and involvement about product.

Economic Lot size decision is studied on this thesis foe the muti-product small batch production system. Even though economic lot size decision has been studied for the MRP system. this could be applied at the industry under the multi-product small batch production system because of very complicate and manager's lack of understand. Therefore, this technique is applied at the industry in order to minimize ordering cosy based on optimal quantity and period, and holding cost according to optimize inventory level under the muti-product small batch production system. After that, lot size decision technique is compared with lot size decision technique which has been used for analyzing and emphasizing productivity
