Diamond-like carbon(DLC) films were deposited on silicon substreates by using an RF plasmaassisted CVD apparatus; the effects of deposition conditions such as CH4 gas pressure and substrate bias voltage on DLC film friction and wear were examined in both friction and scratch tests. In friction tests critical loads at which the friction coefficient increases abruptly depend on substrate bias voltages: critical loads deposited at a bias voltage of -100 V exceed those deposited at other bias voltages. Critical loads are correlated with DLC film hydrogen content. Critical DLC film loads in scratch tests depended considerably less than in friction tests. The friction coefficient of DLC films depends on neither substrate bias voltage nor CH4 gas pressure.

Yield prediction is important to manage semiconductor quality. Many researches with machine learning algorithms such as SVM (support vector machine) are conducted to predict yield precisely. However, yield prediction using SVM is hard because extremely imbalanced and big data are generated by final test procedure in semiconductor manufacturing process. Using SVM algorithm with imbalanced data sometimes cause unnecessary support vectors from major class because of unselected support vectors from minor class. So, decision boundary at target class can be overwhelmed by effect of observations in major class. For this reason, we propose a under-sampling method with minor class based SVM (MCSVM) which overcomes the limitations of ordinary SVM algorithm. MCSVM constructs the model that fixes some of data from minor class as support vectors, and they can be good samples representing the nature of target class. Several experimental studies with using the data sets from UCI and real manufacturing process represent that our proposed method performs better than existing sampling methods.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problems and the sources of defective products and draw improvement plans in a small plastic boat manufacturing process using TOC (Theory Of Constraints) and statistical analysis. TOC is a methodology to present a scheme for optimization of production process by finding the CCR (Capacity Constraints Resource) in the organization or the all production process through the concentration improvement activity. In this paper, we found and reformed constraints and bottlenecks in plastic boat manufacturing process in the target company for less defect ratio and production cost by applying DBR (Drum, Buffer, Rope) scheduling. And we set the threshold values for the critical process variables using statistical analysis. The result can be summarized as follows. First, CCRs in inventory control, material mix, and oven setting were found and solutions were suggested by applying DBR method. Second, the logical thinking process was utilized to find core conflict factors and draw solutions. Third, to specify the solution plan, experiment data were statistically analyzed. Data were collected from the daily journal addressing the details of 96 products such as temperature, humidity, duration and temperature of heating process, rotation speed, duration time of cooling, and the temperature of removal process. Basic statistics and logistic regression analysis were conducted with the defection as the dependent variable. Finally, critical values for major processes were proposed based on the analysis. This paper has a practical importance in contribution to the quality level of the target company through theoretical approach, TOC, and statistical analysis. However, limited number of data might depreciate the significance of the analysis and therefore it will be interesting further research direction to specify the significant manufacturing conditions across different products and processes.

This paper proposes how to develop the EC(Electronic Commerce) for industrial-related items, which has not been tried yet in EC areas. Usually industrial design derives an idea and concept for a new product from the needs of end-users and manufacturers. Then this product is developed through the design process such as idea-sketch, rendering, and design modeling mock-up. The purpose of this paper is to vitalize the trade for some items which are necessary for the design process and are intermediate products. That is, the idea and concept from the needs and seeds can be dealt with as one item. Furthermore, the idea-sketch and rendering materializing from the idea can be an item also. By doing so, excellent design items which could be thrown away in the middle of the process can be made into valuable commodities. Then we can specify the role of Designer, Manufacturer, and End-User as a buyer or a seller.

A loss function approach to a multiresponse problem is considered, when process parameters are regarded as random variables. The variation of each response may be amplified through so called propagation of error (POE), which is defined as the standard deviation of the transmitted variability in the response as a function of process parameters. The forms of POE for each response and for a pair of responses are proposed and they are reflected in our loss function approach to determine the optimal condition. The proposed method is illustrated using a polymer case. The result is compared with the case where parameter fluctuation is not considered.

Although cross rolling process has many advantages in forging a joint shaft, an automotive component of front axle unit, subsequent process is necessary to straighten its bending during forging process. In this paper the bending minimization of the joint shaft was studied to eliminate such an additional process. First of all, a characteristic diagram was used to find out factors affecting the bending of the shaft. Also design of experiments was utilized for estimating the influence of those factors. It was found that the phase angle, which is the difference in starting positions between upper and lower dies, was important to minimize the bending of joint shaft and die cooling is necessary to diminish the distribution of bending.

Process capability indices have been widely used in manufacturing industries to provide a quantitative measure of process performance. PCIs have been developed to represent process capability more exactly. In the previous studies, only one designated location on each part has been measured. But multiple measurement locations on each part are required to calculate the reliable process capability. In this paper, we propose a new process capability index dealing the multiple measurement locations on each part. Also we showed the relationship between the new index and sigma level according to the number of measurement locations.

A flexible disk grinding process model was developed based on the dynamic relationship proposed by Kurfess and the influence of the major system parameters which potentially affect the grinding process was studied. Due to the process complexities, several new parameters were assumed to be kinematically dependent on the geometric layouts of the process. Different process stages had been defined depending on the kinematic relationships between the grinding disk and workpiece. A trend of depth of cut was simulated using the proposed model and compared with the empirically measured data in two dimensions. Due to a poor prediction capability of the first model, a modified model was proposed and a better performance has been proved to reveal a closer description of processed surface quality. Also a deflection length has been verified using a different analytical approach.

Bonding glasses is one of the important PDP (Plasma Panel Display) manufacturing processes. Bonding process includes aligning front and rear glasses with fixing clips. In this process, clips have to maintain perfect alignment between the front and rear glasses. The panel which is fixed by clips goes to next process called sealing. The sealing process is performed in high temperature ($465^{\circ}C$). During sealing process, alignment is very important because it can affect seriously on the PDP screen quality. This study suggests redesigned clips to improve PDP panel alignment and also shows stabilization of clips in a high temperature during sealing process.

In this paper, we focused on the safety of workers in a remanufacturing process where a risk analysis is not carried out and suggested a criteria for evaluating injury risk. We analyzed a disassembly and a reassembly, which are important for the remanufacturing process. The disassembly includes the disassembly of product and the disassembly process of part and the reassembly includes only reassembly of part. First of all, we analyzed the remanufacturing process and a type of injury. Then, we reviewed the standards and determined the criteria for a severity and an occurrence. We set a bigger weight for the severity to allow the greater impact. And the injury risk score was defined as a sum of the weighted severity and the weighted occurrence. We conducted a qualitative analysis of the experience of field workers based on the criteria we set up. Questionnaires for the evaluation were formulated through interviews with experts.
