A computer method is developed for group technology layout and its simulation analysis. The method is composed of three phases: Phase I sorts the parts by its similar production routes and forms part families. Phase II plots the layout by machine cell and evaluates the group layout alternatives by the total process time analysis and the part travel distance evaluation analysis. Phase III also evaluates the alternatives by simulation analysis using SIMAN simulation software. All the computer programs are developed with BASIC except SIMAN simulation.

The decision maker has the job of torecasting capital investments and operating expenses to aid the decision making in choosing and evaluating present and future alternatives. The estimating function eventually analysis, evaluates and choose the alternatives. The analysis stemmed originally from a preliminary design of some sort, and eventually plans are started to investigate investment possibilites. This study provide the descounted cash flow and the present worth method. Despite any choice of an analytical method, there remains the problem of predicting certain future events. Therefore, these models dealing with optimum plant sizing, equipment replacement, and lease or buy will be discussed.

Optimized BMP plans for controlling water quality using the Pareto trade-off surface curve in upper basin of Namgang Dam is proposed. The proposed alternatives consist of BMP installation scenarios in which the reduction efficiency of non-point pollutants is maximized in a given budget. The multi-objective optimization process for determining the optimal alternatives was performed without direct implementation of a watershed model such as SWAT analysis, thereby reducing the time taken. The shortening of the calculation time further enhances the applicability of the multi-objective optimization technique in preparing regional water quality management alternatives. In this study, different types of BMP are applied depending on the land use conditions. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip are considered as alternatives to applying BMP to the field but only control of fertilizer input can be applied to rice paddies. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip can be installed separately or simultaneously in a hydrologic response unit. Finally, 175 BMP application alternatives were developed for the water quality management of the upper river basin of Namgang dam. The proposed application alternative can be displayed on the map, which has the advantage of clearly defining the BMP installation location.

An ATM switching system may be designed so that communications between processors of its control part can be performed via its switching network rather than a separate inter-processor communications (IPC) network. In such a system, there should be interfaces to convent IPC traffic from message format to cell format and vice versa, that is, mechanisms to perform the SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) sublayer functions. In this paper, we concern the cell reassembly mechanism among them, mainly focussed on buffer management schemes. We consider a few alternatives to implement cell reassembly function block, namely, separated buffering, reserved buffering and shared buffering in this paper. In case of separated and reserved buffering, we employ a continuous time Markov chain for the performance evaluation of cell reassembly mechanism, judicially defining the states of the mechanism. Performance measures such as measage loss probability, mean number of message queued in buffer and average reassembly delay are obtianed in closed forms. In case of shared buffering, we compare the alternatives for implementing cell reassembly function block using simulation because it is almost impossible to analyze the mechanism of shared buffering by analytical modeling. Some illustrations are given for the performance analysis of the alternatives to implement cell reassembly function block.

Modifications of t he weighted Mack-Wolfe tests are proposed for both cases when the peak of umbrella is known and unknown. The modified weighted Mack-Wolfe tests are exactly distribution-free when the continuous populations have the same shape. For the case of peak-known umbrella alternatives, the modified weighted Mack-Wolfe tests remain asymptotically distribution-free when the continuous populations are symmetric, but not necessarily with the same shape. For the case of peak-unknown umbrella alternatives, the maximum of standardized modified weighted Mack-Wolfe tests with peak-known umbrella alternatives was used. The simulation results show that the modified weighted Mack-Wolfe tests are more recommended than the modified Mack-Wolfe tests for various patterns.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is known as a very useful decision-making model developed for obtaining the relative weights of alternatives through pairwise comparison in the context of hierarchical structure. In this paper, we propose a method to reflect the reliability of evaluators in the process of pairwise comparison. This method is applied to the evaluation of aerospace technology alternatives. We have conducted a questionnaire survey for S company that is one of the representative aerospace companies in Korea. A questionnaire was designed for obtaining both the priority with considering the reliability of evaluators' importance weights (the modified AHP priority) and the priority with assuming equally reliable evaluators' importance weights (the AHP priority) in order to compare the priority derived by each of two methods. The result shows that there exists the difference hard to neglect between the final priorities gained by two methods.

In this paper strategic planning is applied for effective management to improve hospital income. Though community hospital has been set up for improving the health status of community, it must be trying to increase income for continuing with referral hospital in the community. The most useful tool of management to do this purpose is thought of strategic planning. Therefore this paper developed strategic planning a typical community hospital, which for it presenting the strategic planning process and developing the simulation model for evaluation of strategic alternatives. In the result it is represented that admission rate is the most sensitive to hospital operating income among the important variables in the model. And simulation by changing the parameter could estimate the yearly hospital income in the response of alternatives. This strategic planning simulation model has had constraints as number of date but also significance such as evaluating the alternatives by quantitative model and at first applying the hospital in our country.

This paper studies six different AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) approaches and suggests that the features of the approaches are classified by application circumstances in order to contribute to the applicability and quality usage of the AHP. Our study investigates the hierarchical principles and characteristics of the AHP, and historical debates on the AHP evaluation in which the six approaches have been involved. One of six approaches is an ANP (Analytic Network Process) application that is directly connected to AHP usage. The application differences among the six approaches are validated with a plain example. Then, the four circumstances of AHP applications are classified by two dimensions: the first dimension is whether or not the importance (weights) of criteria is independent of restrictively setting alternatives, and the second dimension is whether or not preference (priorities) of alternatives is independent of adding alternative(s) to or removing alternative(s) from the considering set of alternatives. Then featuring way of weighting criteria is classified. We suggest the distinguishing manners and describe the implications of the AHP application. Finally, we discuss rank reversal and multiplicative AHP.

유통업체는 다양한 상품구색을 갖는 것이 좋다는 생각이 일반적이다. 그리나 최근 연구들은 선택대안의 수를 증가시키는 것이 오히려 소비자 선택을 떨어뜨린다고 한다. 본 연구는 선택대안의 수가 늘어나는 맥락에서 소비자 구매결정에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과, 본 연구에서는 선택대안의 수가 실제 고려제품군의 크기에 해당하는 $3{\sim}9$개인 경우, 선택대안의 수가 늘어남에 따라 비선택 비율이 줄어드는 것(선택 비율이 증가하는 것)을 알 수 있었다. 특히 선택대안의 수가 선택여부에 미치는 영향은 지배적 대안이 없을 때보다는 있을 때 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 대안의 수와 함께 소비자의 제품에 대한 친숙도가 선택여부에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지배적 대안이 있을 경우에는 친숙도가 선택여부에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 지배적 대안이 있을 경우에는 소비자의 제품에 대한 친숙도는 자체적으로는 선택여부에 영향을 미치지 않고, 대안의 수와 상호작용을 통해 선택여부에 영향를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 실무적 시사점과 연구의 한계점에 대해 논의하였다.

The "optimal" solution for a decision making problem should be the one that best reflects the decision-maker's preference. For MADM (Multi-Attribute Decision-Making) problems, however, finding an optimal solution is difficult, especially when the number of alternatives, or that of attributes is relatively large. Most of the existing mathematical approaches arrive at a final solution on the basis of many unrealistic assumptions, without reflecting the decision-maker's preference structure exactly. To remedy this, some interactive methods have been proposed, but most of them require a large amount of information growing exponentially as the number of alternatives, or that of attributes increases. Therefore it is difficult for the decision-maker to maintain consistency throughout the decision making process. In this paper, an interactive method which finds optimal solutions for deterministic MADM problems with many attributes and alternatives is proposed. Instead of considering all the attributes simultaneously, this method partitions all the attributes into several mutually independent subgroups and considers one of them at each of preordered steps, where the alternatives are eliminated until the optimal one is obtained. The efficiency of the method lies in the fact that the amount of neccessary information is reduced significantly, and even further if a suboptimal solution is acceptable to the decision-maker.ion-maker.
