The problem addressed in this paper is to minimize the deviations of workloads assigned to worker and to maximize the total utilizations(degree of skill) between workers and machines simultaneously. Each worker can handle the set of machines with the different degree of skill and each machine has the workloads needed to be processed. Also, each worker has to be assigned to at least one machine with the minimum workload deviation. This problem can be formulated as a preemptive goal programming with generalized assignment constraints. The proposed algorithm consists of two phases. First, a capacitated circulation network is constructed to assign the workers to machines with the maximum total utilizations while considering workloads balance. Then, a refinement process is applied to the split machines to satisfy the feasibility condition. The real industrial application in a plastic extrusion manufacturer is included along with several computational experiments.

We consider the simultaneous selection of part routes for multiple part types in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs). Using an optimization framework we investigate two alternative route assignment policies. The one, called routing mix policy in the literature, specifies the optimal proportion of each part type to be produced along its alternative routes, assuming that the proportions can be kept during execution. The other one, which we propose and call pallet allocation policy, partitions the pallets assigned to each part type among the routes. The optimization framework used is a nonlinear programming superimposed on a closed queueing network model of an FMS which produces multiple part types with distinct repeated visits to certain workstations. The objective is to maximize the weighted throughput. Our study shows that the simultaneous use of multiple routes leads to reduced bottleneck utilization, improved workload balance, and a significant increase in the FMS's weighted throughput, without any additional capital investments. Based on numerical work, we also conjecture that pallet allocation policy is more robust than routing mix policy, operationally easier to implement, and may yield higher revenues.

In this study, we deal a spatial scheduling system for the block painting process in the shipbuilding industry. In general, the spatial scheduling for the block painting process is a very complicated task. Because spatial allocation of each block in blasting and painting cells is considered simultaneously. Thus the spatial scheduling for the block painting process is the problem of planning and control of operation, which arises in shipyard. This system is developed for blocks to meet the delivery date given by the shipyard production planning system, to maximize space utilization of blasting and painting cells and to balance workload among working teams. And it has been tested using actual scheduling data from a shipyard and successfully applied in a paint shop in a shipbuilding company.

The data gathering delay and the network lifetime are important indicators to measure the service quality of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). This study proposes a dynamically cluster head (CH) selection strategy and automatic scheduling scheme of collectors for prolonging the network lifetime and shorting data gathering delay in WSAN. First the monitoring region is equally divided into several subregions and each subregion dynamically selects a sensor node as CH. These can balance the energy consumption of sensor node thereby prolonging the network lifetime. Then a task allocation method based on genetic algorithm is proposed to uniformly assign tasks to actuators. Finally the trajectory of each actuator is optimized by ant colony optimization algorithm. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results show that the method performs better to extend network lifetime while also reducing data delay.

그리드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 대용량 데이터의 처리와 가용성 향상, 데이터 통합을 위해 그리드 데이터베이스 관리 시스템이 사용된다. 그리드 데이터베이스 관리 시스템은 효율저인 질의처리를 위해 여러 노드로 질의를 분산하여 처리한다. 하지만 질의 처리가 임의의 노드에 집중되어 처리 성능이 감소되고, 작업 부하의 불균형이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 그리드 데이터베이스에서 질의 처리를 위한 캐쉬 관리 기반의 부하분산 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 여러 노드에 있는 캐쉬들을 관리하기 위해 캐쉬 관리자를 사용하며, 캐쉬 관리자는 노드를 지역별 그룹으로 연결하고 자신의 그룹 안에 있는 노드의 캐싱된 메타 정보를 관리한다. 노드는 캐쉬 관리자를 통해 질의를 전달 할 최적의 메타 정보를 캐싱한다. 노드에서 캐싱된 메타 정보를 통해 질의를 전달하여 노드의 부하를 분산한다. 제안 기법은 캐쉬 기반으로 부하가 적은 노드에서 질의를 처리하여 노드들의 부하를 분산하여 질의 처리시에 향상된 성능을 보인다.

Purpose: This study aims to provide primary data for policy alternatives by identifying the problem of the nursing workforce shortage. Methods: For quantitative data, 446 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean and standard deviation were used for content description. ANOVA analysis and Scheffe? test were used to compare the differences according to the hospital level. For qualitative data, 1:1 in-depth and group interviews were conducted for six participants. Results: The factors nurses prioritized when choosing a workplace were salary, commuting distance, and work-life balance. Clinical nurses cited low wages, heavy workloads, and burnout as the most considerable difficulties in performing their duties. Factors influencing nurse's turnover intention were low wages, unmanageable workload, and rotation to unwanted departments in that order. New nurses tend not to apply to small-medium-sized hospitals, experienced nurses in their 30s-40s leave hospitals due to childcare and shift work difficulties, and nurses in their 50s and older tend to move to nursing homes rather than acute hospital settings. Conclusion: In this study, wage and workload were mentioned as the most critical factors in nurses' workplace selection, job performance difficulties, and turnover intention, so it is necessary to pay attention to this aspect when improving treatment for nurses.

농촌지역의 과소화에 따라 의료서비스에 대한 공간적 접근성이 제한되고, 노령화에 따른 의료서비스의 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라, 최근 방문보건서비스와 같은 서비스 제공자가 수요자에게 직접 이동하는 새로운 형태의 의료서비스가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 의료환경의 변화는 공공 의료기관의 한정된 의료자원을 효율적으로 배분하고 운영하기 위한 혁신적이고 과학적인 접근법개발에 대한 요구를 증대시키고 있다. 이러한 배경하에서 본 연구의 목적은 방문 의료서비스 제공을 위한 구역 설정 모델을 수립하고, GIS 환경에서 구역 설정 모델을 구현하는 자동구획절차(AZP) 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 구역 설정 모델은 구역 내 이동성, 구역간 업무량 균형, 연속성 등의 조건을 고려한다. 이동성에 대한 세 개의 서로 다른 목적함수를 평가한다; 1) 구역 내 단위 지역간 네트워크 거리의 합 최소화, 2) 구역 내 단위 지역간 공간상호작용 최대화, 3) 구역 내 단위 지역을 순회하는 경로의 길이 최소화. 모델을 위한 AZP는 GIS 환경에서 개발되었고, 농촌의 방문보건 사례에 적용되었다. 결과는 개발된 AZP를 업무량 균형과 연속성 제약조건하에서 각 목적함수에 대하여 상이한 구획체계를 산출할 수 있음을 보여준다.

일중독은 일이 곧 자아의 중심이며 일 이외의 다른 삶은 가치가 없다고 생각하는 상태, 일이 없어지면 자신의 삶도 끝난다고 느끼는 특성을 지칭한다. 한국의 일중심 제도와 문화, 장시간 노동 관행은 근로자들을 개인, 가정, 사회, 조직의 다양한 차원에서 부정적인 일중독 위험에 노출시킨다는 우려가 존재한다. 본 연구는 한국노동패널 17차 조사가 실시한 일중독 측정 도구를 사용하여 대표성 있는 표본을 가지고 우리나라 취업자의 일중독을 측정하고 실태를 분석했다. 일중독 현상의 광범위성과 위험 집단 및 요인을 실증적으로 분석한 결과, 우리나라 취업자의 7.0%가 일중독자이며, 일중독자의 비중이 높은 집단은 남성, 엄격한 성별분업관념을 가지고 있는 근로자, 40대, 별거 이혼 사별한 사람, 주당근로시간이 길수록, 일용직과 고용주 혹은 자영업자였다. 정규 근로시간에 비해 업무량이 많다고 생각하는 사람은 그렇지 않은 집단에 비해 일중독 비중이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 회귀분석을 통해서도 재확인되었다. 연령, 성별분업 관념, 근로시간, 업무량 부하 정도, 종사상 지위는 일중독 확률을 설명하는 중요한 요인임이 확인되었다. 성별분업 인식 개선, 소득 안정성 강화, 근로시간 단축, 적정 업무량 관리를 통한 인력 운용이 일중독 위험을 낮추고 일과 생활의 균형을 도모할 수 있음을 시사한다.

In this paper, we propose a practical method for setting up a daily production plan which can operate semiconductor fabrication factories more stably and linearly by determining work in process (WIP) targets and movement targets. We first adjust cycle times of the operations to satisfy the monthly production plan. Second, work in process (WIP) targets are determined to control the production progress of operations: earliness and tardiness. Third, movement targets are determined to reduce cumulated differences between WIP targets and actual WIPs. Finally, the determined movement targets are modified through a simulation model which considers capacities of the equipments and allocations of the WIPs in the fab. The proposed daily production planning method can be easily adapted to the memory semiconductor fabs because the method is very simple and has straightforward logics. Although the proposed method is simple and straightforward, the power of the method is very strong. Results from the shop floor in past few periods showed that the proposed methodology gives a good performance with respect to the productivity, workload balance, and machine utilization. We can expect that the proposed daily production planning method will be used as a useful tool for operating semiconductor fabrication factories more efficiently and effectively.
