Purpose: To improve the management of a medical linear accelerator, the records of operational failures of a Varian CL2l00C over a ten year period were retrospectively analyzed. Materials and Methods: The failures were classified according to the involved functional subunits, with each class rated Into one of three levels depending on the operational conditions. The relationships between the failure rate and working ratio and between the failure rate and outside temperature were investigated. In addition, the average life time of the main part and the operating efficiency over the last 4 years were analyzed. Results: Among the recorded failures (total 587 failures), the most frequent failure was observed in the parts related with the collimation system, including the monitor chamber, which accounted for $20\%$ of all failures. With regard to the operational conditions, 2nd level of failures, which temporally interrupted treatments, were the most frequent. Third level of failures, which interrupted treatment for more than several hours, were mostly caused by the accelerating subunit. The number of failures was increased with number of treatments and operating time. The average life-times of the Klystron and Thyratron became shorter as the working ratio increased, and were 42 and $83\%$ of the expected values, respectively. The operating efficiency was maintained at $95\%$ or higher, but this value slightly decreased. There was no significant correlation between the number of failures and the outside temperature. Conclusion: The maintenance of detailed equipment problems and failures records over a long period of time can provide good knowledge of equipment function as well as the capability of predicting future failure. Wore rigorous equipment maintenance Is required for old medical linear accelerators for the advanced avoidance of serious failure and to improve the qualify of patient treatment.

Most weapons systems that are Force Integration are expensive equipment that reflects the latest technology, and the operation and maintenance cost is increasing continuously. Factors that efficiently operate and maintain these weapon systems include maintenance plans, economic costs, and repair part requirements. Among them, predicting the repair parts requirements during the life cycle in advance is an important way to increase operation and maintenance cost efficiency and operating availability. The start of requirement analysis for repair parts is a calculation of the CSP (CSP: Concurrent Spare parts, CSP hereafter) that is distributed when the weapon system is deployed. The CSP is an essential component of achieving the operating availability during this period because the weapon system aims to successfully perform a given operation mission without resupply for an initial set period. In the present study, the CSP calculation method was analyzed, reflecting the failure rate and operating time of items, but the analyzed CSP was aimed at preparing for technical failure, but in the initial operating environment, it is limited in coping with unexpected failures caused by human error. The failure is not included in the scope of free maintenance and is a serious factor in making the weapon system inoperable during the initial operation period. To prevent the inoperable status of a weapon system, CSP that considers human error is required in the initial operating environment, and the calculation criteria and measures are proposed.

Recently, mobile phones have become necessary tools for everyday life. In this study, a device that can serve as a separation between a touch panel and an LCD module in a mobile phone was devised for mass repair processes at a smaill business. We used a wire cutting method to separate the bonding plate area between the modules. The device is composed of DC motors and stepping motors that can deliver a precise cutting motion. The motor control system is connected by individual control modules to a CAN network. The developed device showed excellent performance at high temperature conditions.

As a environment of SCM is issued recently, many enterprises are concerned about inventory control for an efficiency of operation and reliablity. The goal of them is to match up to improving of facilities and redoing of inventory cost. To put an efficiency in the operation rate of facilites, A moderate provision of spare parts for that would come into a matter. This study designs two-echelon spare parts distribution system and sees over the relationship between operating rate and inventories of spare parts. and then it determines fitting inventories and investment cost considering an operating rate.

In terms of that modem equipment become expensive, sophisticated and huge, the cost of developing the equipment is much considered in ILS. Therefore, the model of the level of repair analysis about equipment which have the multi-echelon and multi-indenture are purposed to derive optimal repair policy which mostly satisfy the availability by using the Mixed Integer Programming within the minimum cost.

본 연구는 폐쇄형 대기행렬망(CQN:Closed Network of Queue)으로 표시되는 FMS 시스템의 최적 성능을 산정하는 방법과 각 작업장의 작업 부하 (Workload)를 최적화하기 위한 방법에 관한 연구이다. FMS 생산 시스템의 성능 (Performance)을 기존의 생산률(Production Rate)외에 기대생산률 (Expected Production Rate), 평균 대기작업량(Mean Queueue Length), 및 기대 투자이용률(Expected Investment Utilization Rate)과 이들 각각의 분산 (Variance)들을 고려하였다. 이러한 성과측정 문제를 수리 모델링하고 이를 이용하여 각 작업장에서의 가공 장비의 그룹(Machine Group)별 최적 작업배 분(Workload) 조건을 보였다. 또한 위의 과정을 최근의 FMS 전용 Simulator인 FACTOR/AIM을 이용한 분석 결과와 비교하여 보였다.

This paper studies the optimal inventory levels of Korea Assault Amphibious Vehicle(KAAV)'s assemblies in order to assure the required operational availability. The simulation model is built and implemented for the impact of the inventory levels on operational availability. Using regression analysis and integer programming, the optimal inventory levels of essential assemblies are suggested and analyzed. Finally, sensitivity analysis is conducted with recycling maintenance delay time.

인공위성은 지상 시스템과는 달리 극한 발사환경 및 우주환경에 노출되고, 운용 중 수리가 불가능하며, 임무 실패에 따른 위험비용이 매우 크기 때문에 고신뢰성, 고비용의 부품, 장비 및 시스템을 채택하여 개념설계단계에서부터 신뢰성을 관리한다. 신뢰성 관리의 주요 목적은 설계변경 및 개발 사이클의 반복을 최소화하고, 개발비용을 절감하며, 시스템의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 것으로서, 대부분의 우주시스템 개발 프로젝트에서는 제품보증(Product Assurance) 활동의 일환으로 수행된다. 제품보증 업무는 크게 품질보증, 신뢰성 관리, EEE 부품관리, 재료 및 공정(Material & Process) 관리, 오염관리, 소프트웨어 품질보증 등으로 구분되지만, 포괄적인 의미의 신뢰성 관리 범주에 이를 모두 포함시키기도 한다. 인공 위성의 개발과정에서 기술성능지표 중 하나로서 중점 관리되고 있는 시스템 신뢰성 관리의 세부기법, 프로세스, 개선 필요사항 등에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

This study is concerned with a problem of determining the optimal requirements level of the spare parts, especially Concurrent Spare Parts(CSP). CSP is supplied with the procurement of new equipment system, and is used to sustain the equipment without resupply during the initial coverage period. We consider this situation as a multiechelon inventory model with several bases and one depot. And we assume a equipment system which consists of many types of parts would grounded if one of the parts fail. Also this multiechelon CSP problem is considering a time-varing (dynamic) environment. We develop a computational procedure to find the optimal number of spare parts minimizing the total expected cost, while achieving the required system availability. Finally we present a simple example of suggested method.
