셀룰러 네트워크 시스템에서 성능 품질을 평가하기 위한 가장 중요한 측정 기준 중의 하나는 평균 호 절단(average call drops)수이다. 따라서 사용자에게 만족할 만한 통신 품질을 제공받기 위해서는 사용자가 이동하더라도 서비스 중인 활성 호(active call)가 통신 도중에 절단되지 않고 성공적으로 수행 완료되도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 핸드오프는 임의의 기지국에서 또 다른 기지국으로 활성 호를 중계 할 때 끊기는 현상 없이 연결의 연속성을 보장하여 셀룰러 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 게임 이론을 이용한 핸드오프 기법과 서비스품질 효용 함수(QoS utility function)를 제안하여 활성 호가 SIR(signal-to-interference ratio)이 높고 가용 채널 수가 많은 기지국으로 전달될 수 있도록 하였다.

Due to the rapid growth of Internet, means of communication with customers in a traditional customer support environment such as telephone calls are being replaced by mainly e-mail in a Web-based customer support system. Although such a Web-based support is efficient and promises potential benefits for firms, including reduced transaction costs, reduced time, and high quality of support, there are some difficulties associated with responding to many types of customer's inbound e-mails appropriately. As many types of e-mail are received, considerable attention is being paid to methods for increasing the efficiency of managing and responding e-mails. This research proposes an intelligent system for managing customer's inbound e-mails in organizations by applying case based reasoning technique for responding to various customers' inbound e-mails more effectively. In this approach, a case is represented as a frame-typed data structure corresponding to an inbound e-mail, keywords, and its reply e-mail. In the retrieval procedure, keywords and affinity set is developed to index a case, and then the case is represented as a vector, a case vector. Also, cosines value is calculated to measure the similarity between a new inbound e-mail and the cases in the case base. In the adaptation procedure, we provide several adaptation strategies to adapt and modify the retrieved case. The strategies guide to make an outbound e-mail using product databases, databases for customer support, etc. Additionally, the Web-based system architecture is proposed to implement our methodology. The proposed methodology and system will be helpful for developing more efficient Web-based customer support.

Managing a call center is a complex and diverse challenge. Call center becomes a very important contact point and a data ware house for successful CRM. Improving performance of call center is critical and valuable for providing better service. In this study we applied forecasting technique to estimate incoming calls and ProModel based simulation model to enhance performance of a mobile telecommunication company's call center. The simulation study shows reduction in managing cost and better customer's satisfaction.

An Integrated Outage Management System (IOMS) is a utility owned, centralized information system. Using the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) methodology, the IOMS integrates different databases and components of outage management systems to improve the quality of service of electrical power to customers. This paper describes the development of an IOMS and its related utility functionality. The design considerations, salient features, component integration, functional aspects, and implementation issues of the IOMS are discussed. Evidence shows that the IOMS implementation would result in improving the overall quality of electric power supply and effective outage management significantly.

We present a new approach to the analysis of mobile cellular communication systems under the environment of mixed platforms adopting a guard channel scheme. We assume general cell residence time distributions according to platform-types. Our system model is based on a heterogeneous M/G/c loss system with customer-dependent guard channels, where heterogeneous customers with different service time distributions have different numbers of their own guard channels. We develop the general formula of steady state probabilities for the heterogeneous M/G/c loss system with customer-dependent guard channels. The mean channel occupancy times of new and handoff calls are rigorously derived under a general setting. Finally, our numerical results show that the blocking probability and the forced termination probability are sensitive to the cell residence time distributions.

The internet call systems using CTI(Computer Telephony Integration) functions are designed with system configuration, DFD(Data Flow Diagram) and ERD(Entity Relationship Diagram) in this paper. The internet call systems are constructed to cooperate with conventional CTI call center. The internet phone calls occurred from the web browser of customer can be connected throughout VoIP gateway and PBX to many counselors. The internet call systems can provide various services; customer information service, escorted browsing service, text chatting service, text sharing service, conference service, and statistical analysis service.

The design development, and production of a product is one of the greatest challenges which flexible manufacturing systems face today. No matter how a company refines and controls the manufacturing process, if the product is not properly designed, it will not operate correctly or performed well. Therefore the focus on quality of design must be balanced. One such strategy certain to address the managerial and manufacturing of the future is concurrent engineering. Concurrent engineering calls for the consideration and inclusion of product design attributes satisfying all the design constraints such as customer requirements. Furthermore, concurrent engineering has been recently promoted in many industries as a response to competitive marketing pressures. Viewed as a systematic approach of creating high quality products and bringing them to market at lower cost and in significantly less time, it also attracts the attention of quality designers. In this paperm a methodology and model for optimizing the product design, especially selection of optimal design alternative, is developed. The focus of this paper is on product design as the most critical activity of concurrent engineering. The model is based on the customer requirements for quality. Customer requirements for a certain product can be grouped based on the various design attributes. The design attributes have the priorities. The number of design functions. Design attributes value are calculated, however these values are applied to the optimization method. Numerical example will be illustrated.

컨택센터 운영비용은 인건비의 비중이 가장 크다. 따라서 전체적으로나 부분적으로 통화를 자동화하면 운영비용을 줄일 수 있다. 매니지드 컨택 서비스(MCS)는 음성 셀프서비스와 관련된 비용 절감 및 효율성에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. MCS의 뛰어난 기능은 기업의 효과적인 네트워크 라우팅과 결합된 네트워크에 셀프서비스 애플리케이션의 구현이 가능하다. 고객의 전화는 가장 적절한 상담사에 의해, 더 신속하게 응답 및 처리되어 고객처리 서비스가 개선되고 결과적으로 고객 만족도가 높아진다. 고객 만족도의 증가는 수익의 증가로 이어져 컨택센터 인프라 구축비용을 낮추어준다. 본 논문에서는 MCS 기반의 컨택센터 회선용량(IVR, DID, DOD)과 PBX 용량의 분석을 한다. MCS를 통하여 센터 간 상담사간 호(call) 전환의 필요성이 줄어들어 고객질의를 한층 신속하게 해결함으로써 통신비 및 인건비를 함께 줄일 수 있다.

Recently, product life-cycles are shortening faster than ever before, and companies with a suggestion system are in better position to overcome this shortening life-cycle and thus promote customer satisfaction. Suggestion systems, however, are not actively utilized on the production floors in many firms. This study showed that small-sized and medium-sized firms where a suggestion system is properly functioning by a strong will of top management are not many in Gangwon-do area. In considerable number of companies, a suggestion system is informally and spontaneously applied by the workers on the production floors not by company-wide systems. A suggestion system is required as a means of creating future value-added and it is a matter of course that the role of top management, together with middle-class managements' influence is quite important in the course of the successful application of it. A suggestion system, to be successful, calls not only individual efforts but also positive corporate cultures.
