Inventory management is one of the important business functions for manufacturing companies to determine market responsiveness. Customers' needs are diversifying, and the life cycle of products is decreasing, thus increasing the importance of inventory management. However, for small-scale manufacturing companies, investing in an IT system for inventory management is practically difficult. In this study, we introduce an inventory and warehouse management model that can be applied simply and quickly in small-scale manufacturing companies. Firstly, we introduce the concept of the properties of inventory and provide an analytical methodology based on the age and quantity of the inventory. Secondly, in accordance with the properties of the inventory, we introduce location management rules for warehouse operation. To apply the proposed model, we studied a wallpaper manufacturing company and verified the applicability of the proposed methods in the field. The proposed model can be applied immediately as part of on-site improvement activities by small-scale manufacturing companies, and inventory management activities are expected to reduce bad long-term inventory and further secure storage capacity for warehouses.

With the growth of offshore wind power generation market, the corresponding installation vessel market is also growing. It is anticipated that approximately 100 installation vessels will be required in the of shore wind power generation market by 2030. With a price range of 300 to 400 billion Korean won per vessel, this represents a high-value market compared to merchant vessels. Particularly, the demand for large installation vessels with a capacity of 11 MW or more is increasing. The rapid growth of the offshore wind power generation market in the Asia-Pacific region, centered around China, has led to several discussions on orders for operational installation vessels in this region. The seabed geology in the Asia-Pacific region is dominated by clay layers with low bearing capacity. Owing to these characteristics, during vessel operations, significant spudcan and leg penetration depths occur as the installation vessel rises and descends above the water surface. In this study, using penetration variables ranging from 3 to 21 m, the unique vibration period, structural safety of the legs, and conductivity safety index were assessed based on penetration depths. As the penetration depth increases, the natural vibration period and the moment length of the leg become shorter, increasing the margin of structural strength. It is safe against overturning moment at all angles of incidence, and the maximum value occurs at 270 degrees. The conditions reviewed through this study can be used as crucial data to determine the operation of the legs according to the penetration depth when developing operating procedures for WTIV in soft soil. In conclusion, accurately determining the safety of the leg structure according to the penetration depth is directly related to the safety of the WTIV.

The FEMA P695 document proposed a methodology to evaluate the collapse safety of a structure and the validity of the seismic design coefficients. In this study, the seismic performance of six- and twelve-story staggered wall structures with a middle corridor was evaluated based on the FEMA P695 procedure. The analysis results of the prototype structures were compared with those of the structures with an increased coupling beam depth or an increased re-bar ratio of the coupling beams in order to investigate the effect of retrofit. The adjusted collapse margin ratios (ACMR) of the model structures obtained from incremental dynamic analyses turned out to be larger than the specified limit states of an ACMR of 20%, which implies that the analysis model structures have enough strength against design level earthquakes. It was also observed that the increase in the re-bar ratio of the coupling beams between the staggered walls was more effective in increasing the ACMR than an increase in the depth of the coupling beams.

South korea's education system recently expands discretion activity classes for raising self-leading learning ability based on autonomy and creativity, and also recommends students to perform diverse field trips in order to learn the contents which can be obtained only from field learning. However most schools come hard to go on a field trip because they face many difficulties such as lack of time, expense, weather, and safety. In this paper, in order to get over these difficulties we design a teaching model for field based learning activities using a virtual reality tool. And using the developed virtual reality tool, we taught 4th grade students of an elementary school located in Seoul. As a result, most of students were engaged and interested in the class and improved their academic achievement during one semester.

In this study, we numerically estimated available and unavailable time of conventional railway by examining 60% which is known as average range of track utilization efficiency. We also estimated track repair time for maintenance which is the main factor of making track utilization change and analyzed appropriate estimated time. The railway's safety should be guaranteed by appropriate railway operating plan and by adequate rail facilities maintenance. At the same time, daily railway train 'Dia's recovery power should be reflected to the management plan. Considering these factors, we examined mechanical equipment and the national rail network in order to rationally estimate track repair time of the maintenance and to secure spare time in case of train delays. It was found that track utilization efficiency was more or less 60%.

The result that analyze for 6 years a groundwater influx quantity of total 60 catch-pit established in subway line 5 appeared with $0.77m^3/min$. When comparing design approaches of the catch-pit with design approaches of the box structure $2m^3/min$ and the tunnel structure $3m^3/min$, it is found that it has a surplus. Red sedimentation substance contains large portion of Fe. The earth retaining structure of a tunnel and groundwater containing more portion of Fe than other area rue the major factor of this substance. In case of white sedimentation substance, the most frequently founded ingredient is CaO, which is occurred in case grouting injection materials for ground reinforcement is transmitted into a tunnel system by ground water. This substance is doesn't affect safety of a tunnel.

Structural static test and the performance test were conducted to determine whether the propeller developed for a multi-copter with the take-off weight of 25 kg satisfies the design requirement. The result of the structural test revealed that the propeller had a safety margin of 3 or more as the ultimate load and requirement load did not cause the specimen breakage. In the performance test, the propeller generated the hover thrust and maximum thrust of design requirement, and hover efficiency in the operating thrust range was greater than 0.73. Maximum hover efficiency increased by more than 3% compared to the reference propeller and electric power consumption decreased by more than 4% in the operating range. The propeller was found to be successfully developed based on the satisfaction rate of the structural strength requirement and the performance requirement.

In this paper, the seismic analysis model for seismically isolated KALIMER reactor structures is developed and the modal analysis and the seismic time history analysis are carried out for seismic isolation and non-isolation cases. To check the seismic stress limit according to the ASME Code, the equivalent seismic stress analyses are preformed using the 3-D finite element model. From the seismic stress analysis, the seismic margins are calculated for structural members. The limit of seismic load is defined to show that the maximum input acceleration ensures the structural safety for seismic load. In comparison of seismic responses between seismic isolation and non-isolation cases, the seismic isolation design gives significantly reduced acceleration responses and relative displacements between structures. The seismic margin of KALIMER reactor structure is high enough to produce the limit seismic load 0.8g.

The low leakage leading pattern has features as the placement of some fresh fuel assemblies in the core interior to reduce the neutron fluence on the pressure vessel and to enhance the neutron economics. But as fresh fuel assemblies are loaded in the core interior, the local power tends to exceed safety limit due to the high reactivity of the fresh assemblies. Therefore, a large number of burnable poisons must be utilized in a low leakage scheme to suppress the high assembly power as well as the excess reactivity. In this study the effects of burnable poisons are treated as a perturbation on the power distribution, and the 'Power Sensitivity Coefficient' concept is adopted. An application study is performed for cycle 1 of the Korea Nuclear Unit-7 (KNU-7) to justify the usefulness of the reverse depletion method coupled with the above concept. To obtain the optimal burnable poision distribution at the given burnup step, the linear programming technique is adopted. The result shows maximum 4.5% error in the amount of burnable poisons between the calculated and the reference values. It is concluded that the design methodology which consists of the reverse depletion, the power sensitivity coefficient concept, and the linear programming technique can be used to find the optimal turnable poison distribution.

Currently, the pedestrian signal timing model has no consideration on the characteristics of different land use patterns and pedestrian behaviors during pedestrian signal timing calculation. This study intended to propose pedestrian signal timing models that could reflect the inherent characteristics of pedestrian and land use patterns. For this study, three major variables affecting the length of signal timing were identified: walking speed, perception-reaction time, and density-delay time. Then, the representative values of each variable were estimated through the field studies. By combining this information, several pedestrian signal timing models were developed. The data in this paper can be used for future references, and the walking environments for pedestrians could be improved by applying the models suggested in this paper.
