Recently, the material industry in the world has started appreciating the value of new materials that can overcome the limitation of steel material. In particular, new materials are expected to play a very important role in the future industry, demonstrating superior performance compared to steel in lightweight materials and ability to maintain in high temperature environments. Carbon materials have recently increased in value due to excellent physical properties such as high strength and ultra lightweight compared to steel. However, they have not overcome the limitation of productivity and price. The carbon materials are classified into various composites depending on the purpose of use and the performance required. Typical composites include carbon-glass, carbon-carbon, and carbon-plastic composites. Among them, carbon-carbon composite technology is a necessary technology in aviation and space, and can be manufactured with high investment cost and technology. In this paper, in order to find the optimal conditions to achieve productivity improvement and cost reduction of carbon material densification process, the correlation between each process parameters and results of densification is first analyzed. The main process parameters of the densification process are selected by analyzing the correlation results. And then a certain linear relationship between major process variables and density of carbon materials is derived by performing a regression analysis based on the historical production result data. Using the derived casualty, the optimal management range of major process variables is suggested. Effective process operation through optimal management of variables will have a great effect on productivity improvement and manufacturing cost reduction by shortening the lead time.

This paper studies the assembly process of LCD display frames to reduce product cost. First of all, OTRS and time study methodology were performed to analyze the efficiency of the assembly process. Next, various types of frame materials are evaluated whether they pass the reliability criteria or not. As a result, it is found that the productivity of LCD display assembly process maintains prefer level and some frame materials have an opportunity to reach the reliability criteria.

This research shows that as the use of IT spreads, the Investments of IT must be accompanied by the innovation of the business process of an organization to increase productivity. It examines closely to the relations between these by presenting a theoretical formula, with related-theories at the basis, that shows the characteristics of IT Infrastructure and heightens the results of organization. In previous researches, various results co-exist in presenting the direct relativeness between IT Infrastructure and results of organization. But in this research, a parameter called business process has been included making it possible to analyze even the indirect effects to the results of organization. Also, the difference and relativity between the IT Infrastructure and business process groups according to the company environment factor has been proved.

Bulkiness and complexity of a ship structure make it impossible to examine the process of shipbuilding with a prototype in advance. The simulation provides a possibility that the shipbuilding process can be checked and optimized in the virtual world. The realization of the simulated result in the real world gives the higher quality and productivity in shipbuilding. For the effective simulation, the shipbuilding process was analyzed on the viewpoint of the object-oriented methodology and modeled by using the UML. The implementation of simulation was done with the excellent simulation tools, CATIA and DELMIA. The result of this research showed the way to the optimization of process and the improvement of productivity in shipbuilding.

Robot systems are widely utilized in the shipbuilding industry to enhance the productivity by automating the welding process. In order to increase productivity, it is necessary to reduce the time used for robot teaching. In this work, the automatic teaching system is developed for the subassembly process in the shipbuilding industry. A alser/vision sensor is designed to detect the weld seam and the image of the fillet joint is processed using the arm method. Positions of weld seams defined in the CAD database are transformed into the robot coordinate, and the dynamic programming technique is applied to find the sub-optimum weld path. Experiments are carried out to verify the system performance. The results show that the proposed automatic teaching system performs successfully and can be applied to the robot system in the subassembly process.

In this Paper, the estimation method of painting process in the automobile plant using computer simulation techniques is studied to improve the bottle neck process, the weak point and the productivity. For model and analysis, Promodel is used which is a manufacturing oriented simulation software developed by Promodel corporation in the U.S.A. Firstly the result of the simulation shows that we can obtain capability improvement in the system performance using computer simulation. Secondly, the optimum system specification is decided by comparing reports generated by scenario in simulation program find out the suitable conditions. Finally, the speed of conveyor and a pitch of painting body as the most critical parameters are chosen on the basis of exhaustive field evaluation to study their effects o the capacity of the process. The best alternative condition for the maximum capacity of the process is selected by computer simulation.

In apartment building with column structure, reinforcing bar of the column is constructed mainly using gas pressure welding job. Therefore, gas pressure welding job in very critical process is construction apartment building with column structure. The purpose of this study is to analyze productivity of gas pressure welding work in column structure apartment using Web-CYCLONE. In this study, a CYCLONE model was developed for the productivity analysis of gas pressure welding work. Through this model, the optimal combination of the resources was obtained. This study will be utilized in the future as a useful tool of productivity analysis and the determination of an optimal combination of resources for gas pressure welding in apartment with column structure.

When various construction types of architectural construction are proceeded in order, the reinforced concrete construction is the frame construction which takes up the most important proportion among the construction process. Thus, the analysis of the effectiveness and productivity of the reinforced concrete construction is necessarily needed for smooth performance of construction projects. However, the conventional studies are performing the analysis of the productivity of only part(mould and steel) of the reinforced concrete construction and they have limitation in that they do not propose quantitatively the overall productivity of reinforced concrete construction.

This paper investigates the productivity growth in Korean railway lines. The productivity growth is calculated by a process of measuring of pure efficiency change index(PECI), scale efficiency change index(SECI), and technical change index(TCI), using Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. The data cover the period 1990~2007; 1990~2003 are the pre-structural reform years and the post-structural reform years are 2005~2007. The framework for the analysis is Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) of the to investigate the impacts of structural reform on productivity growth, respectively. The inputs considered are the length of operating line, the number of staff, the number of coach and wagon, and the outputs are the trains movement of passenger and freight, and the traffic of passenger and freight.
