The human resource management is a very important thing to an airline call center. It may lead the call center to success or fail. The call center managers have to make appropriate decisions how many persons are inputted into the operation for each unit time and all day. In this study, a method is suggested to get an optimal staffing for each unit time using Integer Programming. The Integer Programming model can be used to solve the efficiency problem of the call center's staffing and scheduling. And call certer manager can adopt this model into the operations of the call center without any difficulties or modifications.

In manufacturing productivity analysis, understanding the intricate interplay among factors like facility performance, layout design, and workforce allocation within the production line is imperative. This paper introduces a simulation-based methodology tailored to food manufacturing, progressively expanding scenarios to analyze production enhancement. The target system is a food processing plant, encompassing production processes, including warehousing, processing, subdivision, packaging, inspection, loading, and storage. First, we analyze the target system and design a simulation model according to the actual layout arrangement of equipment and workers. Then, we validate the developed model reflecting the real data obtained from the target system, such as the workers' working time and the equipment's processing time. The proposed model aims to identify optimal factor values for productivity gains through incremental scenario comparisons. To this end, three stages of simulation experiments were conducted by extending the equipment and worker models of the subdivision and packaging processes. The simulation experiments have shown that productivity depends on the placement of skilled workers and the performance of the packaging machine. The proposed method in this study will offer combinations of factors for the specific production requirements and support optimal decision-making in the real-world field.

최근 진공 산업은 반도체 산업의 급속한 발전과 더불어 진공 산업이 핵심기술로 부각되고 있으며, 진공 산업의 발전이 고부가가치를 창출하는 산업으로 발전하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 (유)우성진공 기술연구소에서는 국내에서 개발이 전무한 소형급 600l/min. 급의 배기속도를 가지는 공랭식 건식진공펌프 개발과 더불어 중소기업 혁신기술 개발사업의 성공적인 수행으로 인해 상용화 단계에 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형(600l/min. 급) 공랭식 건식진공펌프에 개발 과정 및 성능에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 우선, 여타 건식진공펌프와는 달리 냉각방식이 수냉식이 아니라 공랭식 이라는 점에서 에너지 절감 및 설치 공간 제약이 없으며, 유지 비용을 절감할 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 국내에서는 소형급의 건식진공펌프가 없는 관계로 시장성을 높게 평가하고 있다. 소형급 공랭식 건신진공펌프의 냉각효율을 고려하여 하우징을 알루미늄 합금으로 제작을 하였으며, 냉각핀을 적절하게 배치하여 압축열을 효과적으로 방출하기 위한 구조가 될 수 있도록 설계하였고, 냉각팬에 의한 공랭효과를 극대화하기 위해 펌프 스킨을 사용하여 공기 유로를 형성토록 하였다. 또한, 루츠의 형상 및 각 단의 압축효율을 고려한 최적의 로터를 설계하기 위해 Involute Curve를 이용한 3-Lobe형 로터를 설계하였으며, 로터와 로터간의 Clearance를 유지 할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 향후 최적화된 로터 설계기술과 이형재질(알루미늄과 주철)간 열팽창이 고려된 적절한 clearance 유지기술을 적용하여 안정적인 배기속도 600l/min.와 도달진공도 0.005 torr를 가지는 소형 공랭식 건식드라이펌프를 상용화 하고자 한다. 또한 성공적인 과제 종료 및 기술 개발에 따라 건식진공펌프 시장에 신기술 개발 확산에 따른 기업들 간의 기술 경쟁력 촉진을 통한 국가 기술력 향상을 기대해 볼 수 있다.

This study was conducted to identify the optimal lotion manufacturing conditions with decursin and decursinol angelate of Angelica gigas Nakai extraction. Lotion was confirmed that it had viscosity (5,208±112 cPs), assay (99.71±1.01%), and pH (5.62) for 3 months. The optimization of manufacturing conditions of mixing 4 for lotion formulation were made by 22+3 full factorial design. Mixing temperature (40-80℃) and mixing time (10-30 min) were used as independent variables with three responses(assay, pH, and weight variation) as critical quality attributes (CQAs). The model for assay and weight variation identified a proper fit having a determination coefficient of the regression equation (about 0.9) and a p-value less than 0.05. Estimated conditions for the optimal manufacturing process of lotion were 61.93℃ in mixing temperature and 15.85 min in mixing time. Predicted values at the mixing temperature (60℃) and mixing time (20 min) were 100.69% of assay, 5.57 of pH, and 98.07% of weight variation. In the verification of the actual measurement the obtained values showed 100.29±0.98% of assay, 5.57±0.02 of pH, and 98.27±0.89% of weight variation, respectively, in good agreement with predicted values.

In this paper, we propose a power-efficient scheduling scheme for lightly loaded multicore processors which contain more processing cores than running tasks. The proposed scheme activates a portion of available cores and inactivates the other unused cores in order to save power consumption. The tasks are assigned to the activated cores based on a heuristic mechanism for fast task assignment. Each activated core executes its assigned tasks with the optimal clock frequency which minimizes the power consumption of the tasks while meeting their deadlines. Evaluation shows that the proposed scheme saves up to 78% power consumption of the previous method which activates as many processing cores as possible for the execution of the given tasks.

Ambulances are an important element of pre-hospital emergency medical services, and also an important space for improving the work efficiency of paramedics. Paramedics use the interior environment to maximize the capabilities of the space, but ambulances need to be improved to help with the responsibilities of paramedics. A Seamless space was constructed in accordance with the placement of first-aid emergency medical equipment and drugs, and a patient room was loaded in the interior space of an ambulance. This study was to improve the treatment space of an ambulance to improve the efficiency of work by paramedics The new design provides safety and efficiency for emergency medical services through planning of interior storage suitable for the duties of paramedics and through identification and analysis of the problems in the environment.

Nowadays, optimum structural design techniques based on CSR have been developed and applied to the preliminary design stage focused on minimum weight and minimum construction cost of ship structure. Optimum structural design algorithm developed before could minimize weight and cost on fixed compartment arrangement. However, to develop more efficient design technique, a designer needs to combine optimized compartment arrangement with optimized ship structural design because compartment arrangement has a large effect on structural design according to the change of still water bending moment as a consequence of compartment arrangement change. In this study, automated algorithm for compartment arrangement of an oil tanker is developed to apply preliminary structural design. The usefulness of developed algorithm is verified with Aframax oil tanker constructed by STX shipbuilding Co.Ltd..

In this paper, we study a method of designing a reflector for LED light sources with an asymmetric light distribution. In a sports game, lighting with a symmetric distribution makes the athlete and spectators look directly at the light source, so it can cause glare. We derive the optimal tilt angle and design a reflector with asymmetric light distribution to solve these problems. Afterward, performance is analyzed according to the tennis-court lighting standard, and is confirmed to meet the class 1 European standard.

This study entailed an investigation of a tensile stress measurement method for prestressed concrete (PSC) tendons by utilizing external magnetization. The target of this study are PS structures that have been constructed and in use. An optimal external magnetization based elasto-magnetic (EM) sensor was designed using finite element analysis considering various factors, such as coil arrangement and size, that could influence the PS tendons inside the PSC girder. The residual tensile stress resulting from the external magnetization of the girder was then determined. Further, theoretical verification was performed using the numerical and material data used in the finite element analysis for sensor design. The calculated values of strength of magnetization at the target location were matched with the finite element analysis results. Thus, the designed sensor and the feasibility of magnetizing the tendons inside the PSC I-girder using an EM sensor were validated.
