Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become the international issue. Not like other renewable energy sources, TCP is the high reliable and predictable and continuous energy source as the current pattern and speed can be predicted throughout the year. Having very strong tidal current speeds, there are many suitable site for the application of TCP (Tidal Current Power) on the west and south coastal region in Korea. The maximum current speed in the south is recorded up to 6.5m/s. Due to the high tidal current speed on the west coast of Korea, numerous tidal current projects are being planned. To extract a significant quantity of power, a tidal current farm with number of devices is required in the ocean. However, it is important to estimate the potential quantity of energy in the area. Also the realistic quantity that can be extracted is to be investigated. Based on the estimated energy production considering the number of devices and the interactional effects, system type, the water depth and etc., the cost of the development and the benefit from SMP can be estimated. The feasibility study for the 200MW tidal in Incheon, Korea has been performed recently. Based on the actual feasibility study, the procedure and the key points for the application of tidal current power farm are introduced in the paper.

The research of the current situation of made-to-measure production by ready-made men's suit companies was done by interviewing and surveying the made-to-measure specialists. It was apparent that most frequently purchased items in Mass Customization were jackets of formal dress. The results of the research on the current situation of Mass Customization by ready-made clothes companies were as follows. The Mass Customization accounted for 3∼10%. The advantages of Mass Customization were more acceptable sizes, designs and details while the initial reasons for it were unusual physical figures and designs. The posture of a customer during measuring turned out to be critical enough to influence fitness after production. The companies in the research were found out to have materials for Mass Customization in storage and the sizes and other data of fixed circle of customers who would want Mass Customization saved in computer in most of the cases.

In this paper, we deal with a problem improving the productivity of a discrete production line for filling a printer cartridge with toner. We develop a new technology for controlling the weight of toner which must be filled in a cartridge and reform the current line based on our new control technology to result in more than 35% improvement of productivity as well as the control accuracy. In detail, first, we find a bottleneck process, the toner-filling process which gives the current production cycle times. Second, we divide the processing time of the bottleneck into several work elements and find the rotation time of an AC servomotor to be further reduced. Third, in order to reduce the rotation time, we develop a mathematical control-time model for determining the rotation time. Finally, we reform the current line partially as required by the change of the new control method.

In case of the service of the existing PC package game, the production cost and distribution cost is high, the illegal copies by Internet is widespread. To prevent, game production companies and distributors provide a GOD(Games On Demand) service that players download the game content by internet to play games. But, there is little research on current status of GOD service in the country. Therefore, in this paper, we define GOD service, analyse the structure of GOD service, describe domestic current status and research on the problem and solutions of GOD service. This paper gives useful information to companies providing GOD.

Since there are many kinds of non-ferrous metal, it is difficult to investigate the current status on the recycling of non-ferrous metals. Therefore, the survey is confined to some commercially important non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, nickel and magnesium in this article. Domestic demand and production in recent years and current status on the recycling of the scraps of these non-ferrous metals are introduced briefly here.

Manufacturing systems like a motor production process are analyzed using simulations than numerical analyses and/or heuristic methods due to their stochastic properties. The SME(small and medium enterprise) producing automotive motors that develop CIM systems to improve production performance is focused as an application site. We analyze and understand the system exactly using layout based simulation, and then we will suggest the initial feashible production-plan dependent on the layout to overcome weak-points of the current system(i.e., high WIPs, bottle-neck processes, due-date delays and etc.). And, solutions are suggested to increase performances of SMEs producing automotive motors in this paper. The simulation model built in this study is moedlled and analyzed with fully object-oriented methodology using SiMPLE++TM according to properties of production processes of the automotive motor. And, we will introduce ways to verify the model with developed templates for reusability when new needs will be occurred such as designing a new ship, extension or rearrangement of the system, change of production-plans, receiving urgent orders, and so on.

Based on Clark and Munro's theory of dynamic optimization between fishery resources and production, this study is aimed to take an empirical analysis of optimal production level to the Danish Seine fishery under the sandfish stock rebuilding plan. For empirical analysis, it examined the optimal fish stock size, production and fishing effort levels and it also made an additional evaluation of optimal production changes on main variables by sensitivity analyses. When a 4% of the discount rate is assumed, the optimal sandfish production of Danish Seine fishery would be 3,049 t, and the sandfish optimal stock size is evaluated to be 19,016 t. In addition, the optimal fishing effort is estimated to be 4,368 days. Accordingly, to achieve the optimal production level, current fishing efforts should be reduced while the fish stock size should be increased up to the optimal level.

The purpose of this study is to understand what we have learnt thus far on the sustainable consumption of natural resources by household in Korea. We propose a two-wing model designating households as the main agent of sustainable living where both the production of human resources and the consumption of natural resources take place. In the current study, we focused on the sustainability of natural resource consumption. Undertaking an empirical study, we selected 10 major journals that represent each area of human ecological research and then, identified 120 relevant studies regarding sustainability published since 2000. First, we classified 381 keywords into three categories: production, consumption, and social environment, and the identified studies were then classified in one of the seven categories created by combinations of the abovementioned three categories: production (P), consumption (C), social environment (S), production-consumption (PC), production-social environment (PS), consumption-social environment (CS), and production-consumption-social environment (PCS). The results showed that the sustainability of natural resources has been mainly investigated in the fields of clothing & textiles and food & nutrition. Further, consumer science research has been conducted in the area of consumption-social environment and consumption-production. The current study indicates that the field of human ecology has created and accumulated knowledge to support sustainable living. In the future, we need to conduct more integrated research across disciplines and methods and promote research interest in the underdeveloped area of sustainability research in human ecology.
