In this paper, the robust design and tolerancing of the stabilized mirror is performed to increase its stabilization performance under vehicle vibration. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the seven important control factors are first identified, and then the optimal as well as robust values in the sense of Taguchi method are obtained. Finally, the tolerances associated with each design variables are determined based on a successive sensitivity analysis of the simulated system response so that the deviation in the response from the target value meets the specification requirements. The proposed tolerancing method features that it is a robust but conservative design method and that the computational effort is much less than the Monte Carlo simulation method.

The errors can cause the serious loss of the performance of a precision machine system. In this paper, we proposed the method of allocating the alignment tolerances of the parts and applied this method to get the optimal tolerances of a Confocal Scanning Microscope. In general, tight tolerances are required to maintain the performance of a system, but a high cost of manufacturing and assembling is required to preserve the tight tolerances. The purpose of allocating the optimal tolerances is minimizing the cost while keeping the high performance of the system. In the optimal problem, we maximized the tolerances while maintaining the performance requirements. The Monte Carlo Method, a statistical simulation method, is used in tolerance analysis. Alignment tolerances of optical components of the confocal scanning microscope are optimized to minimize the cost and to maintain the observation performance of the microscope. We can also apply this method to the other precision machine system.

In this paper, a tolerance allocation method using Monte-Carlo simulation with measured reflective eccentricity for high-sensitive IR optics is proposed. During optics fabrication and alignment, reflective eccentricity was measured using an optical centration measurement instrument. A Monte-Carlo simulation was performed using measured eccentricity data, and it gives statistical estimated performance of the optics after fabrication. The validity of the proposed tolerance allocation method was verified comparing the estimated MTF result with the measured MTF result of the fabricated optics.

The purpose of this research was developing an integrated way to solve two typical tolerance optimization problem i.e. optimal tolerance allotment and design centering. A new problem definition design centering-tolerance allotment problem (DCTA) was proposed here for the first time and solved. Genetic algorithm and coarse Monte Carlo simulation were used to solve the stochastic optimization problem. Optimal costs were compared with the costs from the previous optimization strategies Significant cost reductions were achieved by DCTA scheme.

As one of many design variables, the role of dimension tolerances is to restrict the amount of size variation in a manufactured feature while ensuring functionality. In this study, a nonlinear integer model has been modeled to allocate the optimal tolerance to each individual feature at a minimum manufacturing cost. While a normal distribution determines statistically worst tolerances with its symmetrical property in many previous tolerance allocation studies, a asymmetrical distribution is more realistic because its mean is not always coincident with a process center. A nonlinear integer model is modeled to allocate the optimal tolerance to a feature based on a beta distribution at a minimum total cost. The total cost as a function of tolerances is defined by machining cost and quality loss. After the convexity of manufacturing cost is checked by the Hessian matrix, the model is solved by the Complex Method. Finally, a numerical example is presented demonstrating successful model implementation for a nonlinear design case.

본 논문은 조선소에서 계획기간동안 각 플랜트의 생산일정에 따른 블록의 모든 수송요구량이 미리 알려져 있는 정적인(static) 수송환경을 고려한 트랜스포터 일정계획문제를 다룬다. 조선소 내에서 블록들의 수송은 몇 가지 특성을 가진다. 500톤을 초과하는 거대 블록들은 2대 이상이 결합된 새로운 형태의 트랜스포터를 이용하여 운반된다. 운반이 요구되는 블록들 중 일부는 계획기간동안 규정된 출발요구시각에 pick-up되기를 요구하는 반면 나머지 블록들은 계획기간동안 규정된 도착요구시각 전에 delivery되기를 요구한다. 이러한 트랜스포터의 결합 및 시간 제약은 문제를 더욱 복잡하게 하는 요인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 계획기간 내에 모든 블록운반 요구사항들(출발지와 도착지, pick-up과 delivery 시각, 톤수, 결선 등)을 만족시키는 트랜스포터 일정계획문제를 다룬다. 트랜스포터 일정계획문제에서 중요한 주제는 총 로지스틱스 시간 (공차운행시간, delay 시간 및 tardy 시간)을 최소화하기 위해 계획기간 내에 최소의 트랜스포터 운영대수로 각 트랜스포터에 어떤 블록을 할당하고 어떤 순서로 운반할 것인 지를 결정하는 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주어진 트랜스포터 일정계획문제를 해결하기 위해, 1단계에서 최소비용 네트워크 흐름문제를 근간으로 트랜스포터의 최소사용대수를 구하고 이를 기초로 2단계에서 각 트랜스포터에의 블록 할당과 운반순서를 결정하는 2단계 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Forklifts in a shipyard lift and transport heavy objects. Tasks occur dynamically and the rate of the task occurrence changes over time. Especially, the rate of the task occurrence is high immediately after morning and afternoon business hours. The weight of objects varies according to task characteristic, and a forklift also has the workable or allowable weight limit. In this study, we propose an online forklift dispatching algorithm based on nearest-neighbor dispatching rule using minimal cost assignment approach in order to attain the efficient operations. The proposed algorithm considers various types of forklift and multiple jobs at the same time to determine the dispatch plan. We generate dummy forklifts and dummy tasks to handle unbalance in the numbers of forklifts and tasks by taking their capacity limits and weights. In addition, a method of systematic forklift selection is also devised considering the condition of the forklift. The performance indicator is the total travel distance and the average task waiting time. We validate our approach against the priority rule-based method of the previous study by discrete-event simulation.
