The finite element analysis program should be prepared to deal with many of newly arising engineering problems. The sequential structured programming technique does not make a finite element method so flexible. So far, the object oriented programming technique was studied as an alternative programming paradigm. However, most of the research were in the state of the evaluation of the possibility and the applicability of the object oriented method for a finite element program. In this study, a practical object oriented finite element analysis program, OOFE_ JAVA was developed and the result of the analysis on a rectangular clamped plate was shown. The objects which compose the OOFE_JAVA were applied to several engineering problem without any modification and it was concluded that the object oriented technique was appropriate for the development of a complex and large engineering system. And a virtual machine which Java language is using can be loaded on any kinds of computer which has java interpreter regardless of the platform on which the OOFE_JAVA was developed.

In this paper, we propose a multi-layered architecture of workflow management systems based on CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). The system aims to support product development processes in distributed environment. Many companies have started to adopt workflow management systems to manage and support their business processes. However, there are many problems in direct application of those systems to product development environments. These mainly resulted from the dynamic features of product development processes. It is strongly required to support dynamic processes as well as static and procedural ones in an integrated and consistent manner. To meet these requirements, a basic workflow management system has been developed as the core component of the integrated architecture. This performs the basic functions of workflow management system. Second, a dynamic workflow management system based on a bidding mechanism has been developed to manage processes that cannot be easily defined or are likely to be modified, Finally, an SGML workflow management system, which is the third layer in the architecture, has been developed to manage documents processing workflows by integration SGML documents contents and process information into the structured SGML document.

By operating on many part of a software system concurrently, the parallel processing computers may provide several orders of magnitude more computing power than traditional serial computers. If the Lagrangean approximation procedure is applied to a large scale manufacturing problem which is decomposable into many subproblems, the procedure is a perfect candidate for parallel processing. By distributing Lagrangean subproblems for given multiplier to multiple processors, concurrently running processors and modifying Lagrangean multipliers at the end of each iteration of a subgradient method,a parallel processing of a Lagrangean approximation procedure may provide a significant speedup. This purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of the parallelized Lagrangean approximation procedure (PLAP) for certain combinational optimization problems in manufacturing systems. The framework of a Plap is proposed for some combinatorial manufacturing problems which are decomposable into well-structured subproblems. The synchronous PLAP for the multistage dynamic lot-sizing problem is implemented on a parallel computer Alliant FX/4 and its computational experience is reported as a promising application of vector-concurrent computing.

The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. In this study, the SE methodology is used to design a nondestructive inspection system for Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) nozzles. We developed a system that enables nondestructive inspection of BMI nozzles during regular refueling outage without removing the reactor internals. A special ultrasonic (UT) probe is introduced to scan and detect cracks within the weld region of the nozzle. A 3D model of the inspection structure system was developed along with the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and internals which permits a virtual 3D simulation of the operation to check the design concept and effectiveness of the system and to provide a good visualization of the system. This approach allows for a virtual walk through to verify the proposed BMI nozzle inspection system.

This study was conducted to provide a foundation for housewife-consumer education programs appropriate in the information society. For this purpose, the authors reviewed existing literature, analysed consumer counseling cases, and conducted focus group interviews. The need for housewife-consumer education was illustrated, and desirable educational contents and methods were proposed. The existing housewife-consumer education programs did not work effectively because the contents were too general, and mostly structured with non-interactive one-way lectures. More effective programs should be designed to accomodate the educational purpose and contents which fitted with the specific needs of housewives as the representatives of the family consumer units. It should also take the family life cycle stages into consideration. The education programs would work better when they were oriented more toward actively participating, locally-based spontaneous small-groups.

Company strategy that considers market trend becomes a more important key to success in the new product development. Well-being as a present social trend has created a huge new product market. but with increasing number of camouflaged well-being products that are not fulfilled consumer needs. The purpose of this study is to understand the concept of well-being products from a consumer point of view an to find five consumer values based on the consumer value model of Sheth, Newman, and Gross(1991) through conducting content analysis from semi-structured individual In-depth Interviews. This study has a significance in identifying the detailed consumer value attributes and influence factors by collecting practical and reach qualitative data in the lack of systematic research of domestic well-being market and its products from a consumer point of view. The result of this study will be a foundation of future quantitative researches and provide a guideline to companys' well-being marketing strategy.

The current information system audit merely inspects a web based information system by focusing on checking items that are extracted from structured and information engineering model and object-oriented component model. As a result, the checking item of web contents and design is inadequate. This paper aims to extract audit framework in order to strengthen the audit of web contents and design during the development of the web based information system and to suggest checking items based on audit framework. For this, the web development process and web site evaluation model were studied, compared, and analyzed with the current information system development audit. From a result of the survey, it was found that the adequacy of the suggested audit framework and audit checking items is above the average value. It is believed that the suggested audit framework is helpful for the audit of web based information system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence safety rule violation at work. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 337 participants from nine manufacturing plants. The results of the content analysis revealed the following six categories: Individual characteristics, safety commitment, safety support and resources, safety competence and communication, production pressure, and problems with rules. Among the 14 factors in the six categories above, indirect accident experience in the individual characteristics category and no action for complying with laws in the problems with rules category had not been identified in previous studies. However, some factors, such as age, peer pressure, pay type, the lowering of risk, a masculine way of working, and supervisor position were not found in this study. The implications and limitations are discussed.
