The Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process is an enhanced method to extract oil from bitumen which involves surface and central process facilities. This paper describes the Central Process Facilities (CPF) of SAGD and proposes several retrofit plans to the Heat Exchanger Network (HEN). In this approach, the process integration scheme is applied to estimate the energy saving in HENs, and various cases are modeled in favor of a commercial simulator. Throughout this work, a minimum approach temperature of 10℃ is assumed. The results reveal that, due to the HEN optimization using process integration, the heating and cooling duties can be reduced to 29.68MW and 1.886MW, respectively. Compared with the Husky case, all cases considered in this study indicate a potential reduction of at least 6% in total cost, including investment and operation costs.

For a recent most companies to make efficient business management, we are using a groupware service of integrated information system of the entire group. Groupware service integrates the cooperation in excellent synergy and duplicates has been business functions of the business, through the improvement of multi-purpose business processing capacity, there is an advantage of reduced operating costs. However, if the parent company and subsidiary, or to handle common tasks such information agency, which may cause differences in the format of the data passed in the case of a need to provide a document. Therefore, in this paper, in order to solve the heterogeneity problem in data between groups, the data system of the hub base of the cloud is provided. The proposed system is intended to improve the groupware environment including the interoperability of integrated standardized environmental data sharing service.

In this paper we analyze the effect of the credit period on inventory policy under trade credit with ordering cost including a fixed cost and freight cost, where the freight cost has a quantity discount. For marketing purposes, some supplier offers credit period to his buyer to stimulate the demand for the product he produces. The delay in payments during the credit period has the effect of reducing the buyer's capital opportunity cost. It is also assumed that the buyer pays the freight cost for the order and hence, the ordering cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and a variable freight cost which depends on the order quantity. As a result, the possibilities of trade credit and discounts on freight costs are expected to play an important role in the buyer's inventory policy. Based on the economic order quantity inventory model, we analyze how the buyer can determine the optimal inventory policy and we examine the effect of the length of credit period on the buyer's inventory policy.

Rice straw is the principal forage for Korean cattle. Limited supply of domestic forage forces Korea to depend on imported forage. Utilizing locally available domestic feed as an alternative would lead to self-sufficiency and stability in cattle farm management. Locally available feed can be utilized as forage. The challenge of collecting local feed has been overcome by machines that have been developed to harvest feed. Local feed can be completely consumed in the production regions, thus reducing transportation costs and increasing price competitiveness. Hitherto, studies have focused on feed technologies and price competitiveness, among other factors, while the substitution of forage has not been examined. This study conducts a quantitative analysis to estimate the extent to which local feed can replace existing forage. We find that local feed is cheaper, and abundantly available, and can thus replace high-quality forage.

Along with rapid global economic development, people are slowly becoming environmentally aware and green development is increasingly a vital topic of social concern. Academic circles are currently focusing on environmental protection and economic growth to explore the coordinated development of both and to achieve a win-win solution between them. To study the relationship between environmental protection experience and both cost and performance, this study empirically analyzes companies listing on the Shenzhen A-share market from 2014 to 2018. The results show that senior executives' environmental protection experience is negatively correlated with corporate costs, whereas it is positively correlated with business performance. These results provide empirical evidence of the importance of enterprises introducing and cultivating environmental personnel and insisting on sustainable development.

Given the increasing information overload among users of online review websites, understanding the manner in which cognitive costs are reduced and efficient information is made reliable has become increasingly important. This study targets a unique consumer review design and explores how reviews from an external peer-to-peer site embedded in an online travel agency (OTA) website influence subsequent evaluation behaviors. The empirical results indicate that (1) embedded external reviews with a high average valence tend to strengthen the influence of the positive evaluation ratio while diminishing the effect of the review volume, and (2) embedded external reviews with a large variance strengthen the positive effect of the review volume while weakening the effect of the positive evaluation ratio on subsequent positive evaluations. The findings provide practical insights for consumers and online platforms.

The smart factory promotion project is a project that improves the entire management environment system, including the production process, using ICT technology. According to the 2019 Smart Factory Survey and Analysis Research Report of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, small and medium-sized enterprises that introduced smart factories reported positive effects such as increased productivity, improved quality, and reduced costs on average. On the other hand, the survey results of companies that promoted the project despite positive results showed that there was room for improvement. This study dealt with the contents of the survey conducted on companies by the smart factory promotion agency in 2020 regarding the infrastructure configuration for promoting smart factories. We examined the meaningful contents implied by the data related to the infrastructure configuration. These meaningful survey results can lead to more efficient business promotion in the future when promoting smart factory projects.

유도탄 점검 중 결함이 검출되면 개발자는 고장을 식별하여 문제 조치 후 시험을 재개한다. 고장 식별을 위해 장비에서 나오는 데이터를 분석해야 하는데, 점검 환경에 따라 수신한 정보가 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 경우 개발자는 문제가 재현될 때 까지 반복 시험을 수행하던지 연계된 장비를 찾아 각 성능 점검을 수행 하여 정상 여부를 확인한다. 해당 업무가 추가되면 일정 관리에 문제가 생기고 개발비용이 상승한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 체계적인 절차로 유도탄 점검 장비를 설계하여 결함 검출률을 높여 요구 신뢰도를 만족해야 한다. 절차마다 필요한 프로세스를 설계하여 운용 중 결함검출 시 고장식별에 대한 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 결함 검출률 100%를 만족할 수 없기에 비용대비 효과를 분석 해 설계해야 한다. 본 논문은 유도탄 점검 장비의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 개발 방법과 적용 시 기대효과 및 한계점에 대한 내용을 기술한다.

본 연구는 항공기 하중에 따라 발생하는 균열을 가정하여 항공기 취약 구조의 수명을 분석하고 구조 보강 개선을 수행하였다. 항공기 구조의 선제적 수명 예측 및 수명 관리를 통해 구조 건전성 및 안전성을 확보하였다. 특히, 항공기 구조물 취약부위의 수명 분석을 통해 운용 하중의 영향이 큰 Bulkhead의 개선이 필요한 3부위를 선정하였다. 분석 대상 항공기의 균열크기 검사능력은 0.03inch 수준과 비교하여 임계균열크기는 취약 3부위 중 최하인 0.032inch이다. 상대적으로 검사능력 대비 임계균열크기가 매우 적어 항공기 안전을 위해 개선이 필요하다. 그리고 피로수명 해석 결과 항공기 요구 수명인 15000 운용시간 이상 대비 취약 3부위 중 최하인 약 1450 운용시간은 항공기 초기검사 및 재검사 시간의 반복 횟수를 증가시켜 비용 및 인력의 소요를 발생시킨다. 결국, 식별된 취약 3부위의 구조 보강을 통해 형상을 개선하였다. 발생 균열에 대한 구조 내성의 증가를 통해 최하의 임계균열크기가 0.13inch로 확보되어 항공기 안전성이 증가하였다. 항공기 운용 중 발생하는 균열에 대한 최하의 구조 피로수명은 >25000 운용시간으로서 요구 수명 이상으로 분석되어 균열 및 파단에 의해 발생하는 수리비용과 과도한 보강범위 보다 최적화된 개선을 수행하였다.
