  • Disassembly scheduling is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling used products while satisfying the demand of their parts or components over a planning horizon. The case of single product type with assembly structure is considered for the objective of minimizing the sum of disassembly operation and inventory holding costs. In particular, the resource capacity constraint is explicitly considered. The problem is formulated as an integer programming model, and a two-stage heuristic with construction and improvement algorithms is suggested in this paper. To show the performance of the heuristic, computational experiments are done on a number of randomly generated problems, and the test results show that the algorithm can give near optimal solutions within a very short amount of computation time.

  • The amount of production orders from Japanese car and construction machine industries have slightly increased in 2002, but the costs of the forged parts have decreased due to severe competitions with the other Asian countries. Most of the forging industries and some universities are making more efforts for technological researches and developments to meet the demand for higher accuracy and higher quality products, shortening of delivery time, and development of forged parts for new industrial fields. Some helical gears of which surfaces can be net-shaped have been started for commercial base production to be shipped to car industries. Some non-graphite lubricants for hot forging and some conversion coating free lubricants for cold forging have been developed to improve some environmental problems.

  • Various kinds of winding arrangements can be used to enable fault current limiters (FCL) to tolerate higher forces without resulting in a substantial increase in construction and fabrication costs. In this paper, a distributed winding arrangement is investigated in terms of its effects on the short-circuit forces in a three-phase FCL. The force magnitudes of the AC supplied windings are calculated by employing a finite element-based model in the time stepping procedure. The leakage flux and radial and axial force magnitudes obtained from the simulation are compared to those obtained from a conventional winding arrangement. The comparison shows that the distributed winding arrangement significantly reduces the radial and, especially, the axial force magnitudes.

  • This paper presents an efficient method for expanding interconnections in scenarios involving the reconstruction of interconnections across arbitrarily divided planes. Conventionally, such situations necessitate rebuilding interconnections based on all targets, ensuring minimal cost but incurring substantial time expenditure. In this paper, we present a tinkered tree algorithm designed to efficiently expand interconnections within a Euclidean plane divided into m randomly generated regions. The primary objective of this algorithm is to construct an optimal tree by utilizing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of each region, resulting in swift interconnection expansion. Interconnection construction is applied in various design fields. Notably, in the context of ad hoc networks, which lack a fixed-wired infrastructure and communicate solely with mobile hosts, the heuristic proposed in this paper is anticipated to significantly reduce costs while establishing rapid interconnections in scenarios involving expanded connection targets.

  • In this paper, we propose an improved delay-constrained unicast routing (I-DCUR) algorithm for real-time networks which is based on the delay-constrained unicast routing (DCUR) algorithm. Our I-DCUR algorithm is quite different from DCUR algorithm, because the node will choose the link between the active node and the previous node, and it will replace the original loop path when it detects a loop. Thus, firstly consider to choose the link between the active node and the previous node to replace the original loop path when a node detects a loop. So our algorithm can make the construction of path more efficiently, as compared to DCUR algorithm. We could see that the performance of I-DCUR algorithm is much better than DCUR algorithm in the experimental results. There were over 40% improvement in 100 nodes, 60% in 200 nodes, and 9% reduction of costs.

  • Government imposed a duty to perform feasibility investigation on huge development projects which cost are higher than 50 million dollars on May 1999. This is to prevent waste of money occur from lack of review on huge public projects and raise the efficiency of government budget. Although maintenance and managing analysis method for public infrastructures are developed and proposed by other institutions as Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation but it is not well applied on the aspect of the railway fixed time and costumer costs. Therefore a good point of quantitative and qualitative reference which fits railway character is need and following guidelines from the phase of feasibility study are need to prevent governments budget waste.

  • This paper has purpose of designing the earthing system installed on the ground without laying under the ground. As a solution for green IT environment to solve the existing earthing system, the third generation earthing machine was designed by using discharge electrodes, catalyzer, and hot wires. As a result of comparison, it found that the third generation earthing system suggested in this research had more increased discharge currents by 31[A] and the speed 25 times faster than the second generation earthing system. The suggested earthing system is allowed to be installed on the ground and solve construction costs, time, area, and environment pollution, which are problems in the existing earthing system. In addition, as the earthing technique has recently developed, the earthing system is classified by generation based on capacity.

  • The scale and operating conditions of logistical systems very sensitively varies according to the variation of traffic intensity that is affected by the arrival characteristics of trucks and the attributes of loading/unloading services in logistics facilities. More exactly, logistics costs are incurred according to variations of traffic intensity. which are intimately linked with in a given time period. Also. although traffic intensity changes minutely, the range of cost variation is wide. Nevertheless, with regard to operating logistics systems, the existing studies make no attempt to analyze these factors. Therefore, it was the purpose of this study to determine the optimal traffic intensity to minimize excessive logistics costs resulting from the generation of unnecessary costs such as waiting costs and overcosts in operating a facility. For the purposes of this analysis. a determination model of optimal traffic intensity was constructed according to queuing theory. The inflow/outflow conditions of trucks and the terminal operational conditions were collected from an off-dock container terminal in Busan. On the basis of this data. the optimal traffic intensity that could off-set excessive waiting and operating costs was determined quantitatively. Also. using the optimal traffic intensity to be determined. we consider the improvements of operating system in the logistics facilities.

  • Recently according to increasement of the single family and dual-earner couples, the number of infants and young children stays on a long time to the childcare facilities. this is increasing the importance to improve the physical environment. However, the operating and maintenance costs of the national-public childcare facilities have taken effect of the unfair support issues of municipality's financial situation. Especially, because of the lack of the operating and maintenance costs of the facility and the shortage of facilities equipment maintenance repair costs, nursery operations and Maintenance items are needed to distribute appropriately. Therefore, this study is to estimate the importance to facility operations and maintenance items based on "Kindergarten and Childcare Facilities"presented at the Child Care Policy Study. we are expected to allocate appropriately of operation and maintenance cost of a limited budget. In particular, those can be considered for operation and maintenance cost about the National-Public Childcare Facilities and be determined to a safe and pleasant environment to kindergartens through the appropriate operations and maintenance support.
