Nowadays, digital manufacturing has been known to be very effective method in manufacturing fields. It is aimed to estimate process time, to improve operation efficiency, and to prevent bottleneck processes in advance of real manufacturing. This paper addresses a scheduling support system for panel hues in a shipyard through digital manufacturing simulation. The proposed system supports operators to make better decisions on the shop-floor scheduling in panel lines. It ,would provide a complete schedule that is at least as good as any schedule currently obtained. Furthermore, it can evaluate the operator's schedule by simulating it with 3-dimensional models before the work orders and schedules are released.

Computer aided process planning and Offline programming are decisive factors in successful implementation of automated robotic production. However, conventional offline programming procedure has proven ineffective due to time-consuming teaching process for robot programming and due to inefficient system modeling. The paper presents an efficient procedure to semi-automatically generate robot job programs for ship block welding applications. In the research, the teaching positions are automatically determined by predefined rules which are functions of the type and the dimensions of the given welding section of ship block. And a sequence of robot movements and welding conditions such as welding type, welding current, welding speed, and welding torch orientation, are determined by use of Standard Program which is experimentally proved to work well for the welding wection group. Finally, a robot program for the welding section is generated automatically. Based on the algorithm, a offline automatic teaching software is developed. The paper presents also the algorithm and structure of the software.

This study establishes basic data for operations management by organizing processes and measuring time in the mini line for female jackets to improve productivity, ensure competitiveness, and maintain operator competency and the line process flow balance between apparel manufacturing companies. The results of this study are as follows. Sewing operations are divided into preparation functions, arrangement, partial tasks, and assembly that consist of 84 processes. The results from time measurement indicate that 3238.41seconds (sec) were required to produce a single jacket and that the average time required for operators was 231.32 sec. A control limit was established to increase the reliability of the measured value for net time. After outside values were removed, the operation time was measured to be 3176.35 sec. This accounted for 98.08% of the total operation time, with net time decreasing by 62.06. Skill and effort level coefficients were applied to measure the operator performance, the total real time was calculated to be 3415. The requirement for preparation and arrangement operations were 1233.35 sec, and 2182.22 sec for partial tasks and assembly operations. Process separation and organization were performed after the bottleneck operation was selected to identify the maximum line balance. Consequently, process efficiency of preparation and arrangement operations increased from 79.19% to 93.00%, and the partial tasks and assembly operations increased from 62.36% to 90.93%.

Crack detection on panels during manufacturing process is an important step for ensuring the product quality. The accuracy and efficiency of traditional crack detection methods, which are performed by eye inspection, are dependent on human inspectors. Therefore, implementation of an on-line and precise crack detection is required during the panel pressing process. In this paper, a regular CCTV camera system is utilized to obtain images of panel products and an image process based crack detection technique is developed. This technique uses a comparison between the base image and a test image using an amplitude mapping of the local image. Experiments are performed in the laboratory and in the actual manufacturing lines to evaluate the performance of the developed technique. Experimental results indicate that the proposed technique could be used to effectively detect a crack on panels with high speed.

K company produces semiconductor package products under the make-to-order policy to supply for domestic and foreign semiconductor manufacturing companies. Its production process is a machine-paced assembly line type, which consists of die sawing, assembly, and test. This paper suggests three plans to increase process throughput based on the process analysis of K company and evaluates them via a simulation model using a real data collected. The three plans are line balancing by adding machines to the bottleneck process, product group scheduling, and reallocation of the operators in non-bottleneck processes. The evaluation result shows the highest daily throughput increase of 17.3% with an effect of 2.8% reduction of due date violation when the three plans are applied together. Payback period for the mixed application of the three plans is obtained as 1.37 years.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of policy boosting fertility and labor participation rate on potential GDP growth rate. To do this, we employ a growth accounting approach, which decomposes per capita GDP into two parts. The first one is the change of dependency ratio and the other is the change of labor input. The labor input is again decomposed into the qualitative and quantitative parts. The quantitative part considers the change of labor participation rate and working time. The qualitative aspects is based on the trend of productivity of labor. From the scenarios of NSO(National Statistics Office), the effect of the fertility-raising policy on per capita potential GDP growth rate is calculated and projected to the year of 2050. We also forecast the policy effect inducing high labor participating rate of female labor and beyond 55-year old labor. The baseline results show that the per capita GDP growth rate will show mid 4% to the year of 2010, gradually declining to 3.94% by 2020, 3.03% by 2030, 2.41% by 2040. The high fertility rate scenario will not have effects on the potential growth by 2030, but show 0.10%p higher per capita GDP growth rate than that of baseline scenario result. By the high female labor participation policy, the per capita GDP growth rate will reach 0.04%p higher per capita GDP growth rate than that of baseline scenario. Based on the results of this paper, we conclude that the quantitative labor input cannot solely account for the trend decline of potential GDP, and the qualitative aspect, like labor productivity, is much more important element to sustain and boots the economic growth.

조립라인에서 볼트의 수량을 정확하게 검출하는 장치는 작업속도의 향상 및 불량발생을 줄이기 위해 필요한 것이다. 현재 조립에 필요한 수량을 작업자의 시각에 의해 파악하고 있기 때문에 작업시간이 증가되고 있으며 특히 조립 과정 중 작업자의 실수로 볼트가 제품의 내부에 침투하여 제품의 소음, 성능저하 및 수명단축을 초래하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 작업자의 편의성 및 조립속도 향상을 위해 볼트를 감지하여 자동으로 수량을 검출하는 장치를 개발하였다. 볼트의 특성에 따라 볼트 선별부의 치수를 수정하면 되도록 하였다. 조립라인의 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 설계는 Auto CAD를 이용하였다. 조립라인의 공간 효율 증가를 위하여 볼트 수량 검출기의 가로${\times}$세로의 크기를 최소로 하여 $220{\times}360{\times}1170mm$로 설계하였다. 받침대는 $60{\times}60$ 프로파일을 이용하였고 다른 구성 부품은 SUS304 재질을 가공하여 조립하였다. 실험은 실험구 마다 100회 측정하여 평균값을 나타냈으며, 소수점은 시스템에 영향이 없기 때문에 절사하였다. Test 19-27 구간이 배출부가 가장 적게 구동하는 것으로 나타났다. 정렬부의 각도가 10, $15^{\circ}$의 경우는 볼트와 배출부의 마찰력이 증가하여 구동횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. $20^{\circ}$이상의 각도에서는 볼트가 배출부에 안착하기 전에 하강하기 때문에 반복횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 최적의 정렬부 각도는 $20^{\circ}$로 나타났다. 볼트의 지름이 3, 5, $7{\phi}$ 일 때 정렬부의 각도에 따른 정렬부의 반복횟수에 대한 결과 값을 한 결과 $20^{\circ}$에서 정렬부의 구동횟수가 가장 적은 것 으로 나타났다. 정렬부의 각도가 큰 경우 구동에 의한 볼트와의 운동에너지의 증가로 반복횟수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다.

Software product-lines is the software development paradigm to attain the rapid development of quality applications by customizing the reconfigurable components and composing them based on predefined software architectures. Recently various methodologies for the component-based product lines are proposed, but these don't provide the specific implementation techniques of the components in terms of variability resolution mechanism. In other hand, the several approaches to implement the component supporting the variabilities resolution are developed, but these don't define the systematic analysis and design method considering the variabilities from the initial phase. This paper proposes the integration of PLUS, the one of product line methodologies extending UML modeling, and component code generation technique in order to increase the efficiency of producing the specific product in the software product lines. In this paper, the component has the hierarchical architecture consisting of the implementation elements, and each implementation elements are implemented as XSLT scripts. The codes of the components are generated from the feature selection. Using the microwave oven product lines as case study, the development process for the reconfigurable components supporting the automatic variability resolution is described.

Software development methodology has been developed for satisfying goals of improvement in productivity and reduction in time-to-market through the reuse of software assets. The current methods that implement software product-line, one of software development methodologies, interfere massively with the core assets, which require high cost in assembly level reducing the effectiveness. In this paper, we introduce Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) as a method for improving assembly process in software product-line. The method that assembles core assets and variabilities is described by grammar elements such as Join point, pointcut and advice without code-change. We analyze requirements of a mini-system as an example adapting AOP and design using UML. Our study implements the variabilities, which are from design stage, using an Aspect-Oriented Programming Language, AspectJ and prove usability and practicality by implementing the proposed idea using an Aspect-Oriented Programming Language, AspectJ.
