The aim of this study is to minimize the total distance travelled by the examiners of college entrance examination committee, from their homes to the designated schools, such that the examiners are assigned to each school satisfying certain criteria. A network model is used and the Out-of-Kilter algorithm is applied to solve the examiner-examinee assignment problem. The result is proved to be fairly adequate not only in this problem, but also to the similar situations encountered in, say, school-grouping of junior/senior high schools, and an administration district allocation problem, etc.

A simulation study was conducted to determine optimum capacity of Navy drydock facility using GASP-IV, an advanced FORTRAN-based simulation language, under demands of regular overhauls and emergency repairs by ships of an hypothetical fleet composition. Three year dock usage data was analyzed to produce probability distributions underlying drydock repair demands. The present facility size of two drydocks was simulated and was found to be somewhat short of adequate service capability, showing excessive average waiting time and average queue length. The simulation model was then modified to include an additional drydock of similar size as the other two and a year's simulation was again conducted. All repair needs were quite satisfactorily met and all docks showed very high utilization factor (0.98). This contributed to an increase in the fleet's ship availability from 0.95 to 0.99. This study illustrates the usefulness of simulation technique as a tool for analyzing policy alternatives in military long-term investment areas.

현재 미국은 일일 8시간을 근무하면서 주당 연닷세 근무, 연이틀 휴무하는 근무제도를 통상 사용하고 있어서 이 제도에 대한 최적 휴일 할당 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 한국은 일일 8시간을 근무하면서 주당 연닷세반 근무, 하루반 휴무제도를 통상 사용하고 있다. 본 연구는 근무업무( service )에 있어서 한국적 휴무제도에 적용될 수 있는 휴무할당 방법을 토의한다. LP기법 및 수식의 도움이 없는 간단한 계산방법이 최적휴무할당을 위하여 사용된다. 이들 방법은 노동소요를 충족하면서 고용인의 유휴 노동기간을 최소로 하는 최적휴무 할당방법임을 토의한다.

In this paper, we derive the likelihood function for the independent random order statistic whose underlying lifetime distribution is a two parameter Weibull form. For this purpose we first discuss the order statistic which represent a characteristic feature of most life and fatigue tests that they give rise to ordered observations. And, we describe the properties of the underlying Weibull model. The derived likelihood function is essential for establishing the statistical life test plans in the case of Weibull distribution using a likelihood ratio method.

Film data photographed by Motor Drive Camera were gathered and recorded in the FM Tape Recorder via computer-aided Location Analyzer and Voltage Generator. The recorded analogue data are converted into digital voltage values corresponding to the location of 14 landmarks by Analog-to-Digital Converter attached to digital computer. Using these converted values, the human motions were reproduced by CalComp Plotter and computer screen. This author concludes that any human motions can be analyzed by computer and we can find some methods of improvements of motions in work places, sports science, or operations of military equipments.

We show that the complexity of Simplex Method for Linear Programming problem is equivalent to the complexity of finding just an adjacent basic feasible solution if exists. Therefore a simplex type method which resolves degeneracy in polynomial time with respect to the size of the given linear programming problem can solve the general linear programming problem in polynomial steps.

The traditional theories of games are based on an assumption that the payoffs have a single dimension. In reality, any alternative is likely to imply more than one payoff. This paper deals with the game against nature with vector payoffs. The purpose of this paper is to develop methods for finding the practical optimal strategy in the game against nature with vector payoffs. Under the assumption that a prior probability over the stats of nature is given, this paper shows that a practical optimal strategy in this game can be obtained by applying a entropy method in order to assess the payoff weight and by employing the concept of compromise solutions in order to reduce the non-dominated solutions. When subjective payoff weights are unknown as well as known, these methods can be used. A numerical example is given.
