As a pre-study for researches on powering characteristics of straight-framed V-bottom hull forms for usual commercial vessels, practicability of such a hull is investigated from viewpoints of over-all ship economy. For this purpose, a trawler hull of straight-elements with double chines, SV(T)-1, similar to Prof. Nevitt's W-8 in size and hull form coefficients was designed and tested at the SNU Ship Model Towing Tank for resistance measurements. The result is given in Fig.3 together with those of W-8 and other equivalent hulls of double curvature, such as FAO 135a-173, Doust and Takgi. The curves of the latters are reproduction of Prof. Nevitt's analysis, and given for comparison purpose. With in speed range of $9.0{\sim}10.5$ konts the resistance coefficients of SV(T)-1 are $18{\sim}25%$ higher than those of W-8, and $5{\sim}20%$ and $12{\sim}14%$ higher than those of FAO 135a-173 and Doust respectively. SV(T)-1, however, is slightly superior in resistance characteristics than Takagi's equivalent hull within the speed range. On the other hand, an equation for reduction rates of hull construction cost required to compensate for propulsion power increase in straight-elements hulls was derived from the definition of the economic efficiency of commercial vessels. The solution of the equation is given in Fig.4 graphically, from which it is known that $10{\sim}20%$ increase in propulsion power can be compensated by $8{\sim}16%$ reduction in hull construction cost. Considering simplicity and less equipments required in construction of straight -elements hulls, the author does argue for attainability of the above reduction rates in hull construction cost. Consequently, it is concluded that there is clear feasibility to adopt straight-elements hulls for usual commercial vessels of medium and small-size. And a further research will be done to obtain reliable data for chine shapes having good flowliness with the flow around ships depending on ship's size and speed.

IPS(Ideal Production System) is a strategic cost management establishing ideal target cost, innovating cost structure and reduction. However, IPS was commonly used in assembly industry acquiring components and using them to assemble vehicles etc. Applying IPS to steel industry is a new try and not easy because cost elements in flow manufacturing are clustered and obfuscated in a complicated way. This paper proposes ICM (Ideal Cost Management) method adaptive to steel industry. One of the biggest advantages is that ICM could classify and categorize costs in detail according to accounts and manufacturing machines. Based on ICM information, steps of extracting and maximizing ideas are followed effectively. From 2013, ICM was applied successfully to POSCO Pohang Steel Works 38 factories.

High-rise buildings need thorough cost management because of large size and high risk. Cost management makes a budget by establishing and analyzing detail element at planning phase, needs cost control as each design phase, then reflected to next design. This research develops a schematic estimation model based on vertical and horizontal elements at design phase for structure cost of high-rise buildings to reduce error range and use data as design management. Usability of the model is confirmed by case study. The estimation model is expected to contribute to making the cost model more effective and satisfactory to concerned in construction or budget department and manage keeping track of the cost.

This study is intended to develop a technology cost model (TCM) which treats technology costs appropriately under present advanced manufacturing technology environment. TCM is composed of two elements : cost classification system and cost allocation model. It is proposed to include technology-related department expenses as well as technology investment in the categories of technology costs. For the cost allocation, technology activities are divided into four homogeneous groups. Costs are accumulated into one of the four cost pools and allocated to the cost object using the pool's unique allocation base. It is also proposed to use the capital recovery costs including interest expense rather than the depreciation costs for an invested capital. A case study is performed to verify the applicability of the developed model.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing service costs associated with all health care costs incurred by the institution. Methods: This study was an empirical case study research in which the nursing cost was separated from total medical cost. The nursing cost index was calculated through a cost allocation method after summarizing costs for personnel, raw materials and administration of each department in one public hospital. The 2014 budget plan, published in 'Public Hospitals Alert', was used as data and the data were analyzed using the Microsoft Office EXCEL 2013 program. Results: When comparing total medical costs and nursing costs, the nursing cost were 27.14% of the total medical cost. The nursing cost per nurse per hour was calculated as \29,128 The nursing cost per inpatient per day was calculated as \157,970, and the administration cost per patient was calculated as \133,710. Conclusion: The results of the research present the process of cost allocation of specific cost elements in the hospital and evidence for administrative costs which in the past have been only vaguely formulated. These are the significant implications of this study.

Construction projects, including housing, are carried out over long periods of time. According to changes to the construction period, the cost of input materials and wages also changes. Therefore appropriate management is important in order to minimize cost risks caused by fluctuations in prices. In Korea, housing units are usually sold in lots prior to construction completion. Therefore, careful management of input elements such as materials and equipment that are sensitive to price fluctuations is very important. This study deals with how the price fluctuation of materials, labor, and equipment influences the change of housing cost and seeks a way for cost management through identifying key resources sensitive to price fluctuation. As a result, a change to the housing cost index multiplies depending on cost changes of materials and labor together. Labor costs are a major factor on the housing cost index. In addition, certain types of materials and labor input to housing construction greatly influence price fluctuations. Thus, it is found that managing those main cost factors is the key for effective cost management.

Sandwich sheet with inner structure is expected to find many applications because of high stiffness to mass ratio. In order to simulate forming of sandwich sheet with pyramid core, an effective simulation method is required. Compared to the expensive model using solid elements, cost effective model using simplified elements such as shells and beams is developed. By comparing two models in terms of the cost and accuracy for unit cell deformation, a developed model shows some advantages over the model using solid elements. Evolution of two kind of forming limits, face buckling and core buckling are successfully expressed by developed model. Developed model is also applied in the simulation of square cup drawing and L-type bending. The corresponding experiments are carried out. Deformation shape and wrinkling behavior are compared and discussed. It is found that simulation results using a developed model are in good agreement with experiments.
