  • Semiconductor manufacturing has been emerged as a highly competitive but profitable business. Accordingly it becomes very important for semiconductor manufacturing companies to meet customer demands at the right time, in order to keep the leading edge in the world market. However, due-date oriented production is very difficult task because of the complex job flows with highly resource conflicts in fabrication shop called FAB. Due to its cyclic manufacturing feature of products, to be completed, a semiconductor product is processed repeatedly as many times as the number of the product manufacturing cycles in FAB, and FAB processes of individual manufacturing cycles are composed with similar but not identical unit processes. In this paper, we propose a production scheduling and control scheme that is designed specifically for semiconductor scheduling environment (FAB). The proposed scheme consists of three modules: simulation module, cycle due-date estimation module, and dispatching module. The fundamental idea of the scheduler is to introduce the due-date for each cycle of job, with which the complex job flows in FAB can be controlled through a simple scheduling rule such as the minimum slack rule, such that the customer due-dates are maximally satisfied. Through detailed simulation, the performance of a cycle due-date based scheduler has been verified.

  • A study on the following parallel machine problem is addressed in this research. An order is completed only when a given number of processes (cycle) are repeated. Anew cycle is possible only upon the completion of the previous cycle. Orders are classified into job group according to product feature. For a machine to switch to a different job group from the currently processing one a major setup is required while a minor setup time is inserted in between two jobs of the same job group. The objective of the study is to find a schedule that minimizes total weighted tardiness. An initial solution is obtained by the RATCS(Restricted Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setup) rule, and a Tabu search is applied to improve the solution. Numerical examples are also presented.

  • The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between job creation and ICT usage in service industries. This research is particularly important because job creation is one of the most critical issues for the country. With technology innovation and system integration, manufacturing industries do not create enough employment, therefore, the society relies on service industries for creating job opportunities. Until now, due to limitations, analysis of job creation in service industries through ICT usage has not been investigated in depth. Thus, development of an effective ICT support policy was impossible. In this research, we used seven methods to investigate overall relationship between ICT usage level and job creation. A rule of large numbers has been applied to reach conclusion. Through this research, the government can focus its investment on service industries where job creation rate is the highest. We can expect both reinforcement in competitiveness of our service industry and continuous creation in employment, eventually leading to a virtuous cycle.

  • The purposes of this research were to find out general trends of employed women's stress and to investigate the differences and effects of related variables. The data were obtained through 239 employed women living in Kwangju and Chonnam. The major findings were as follows : 1) Employed women's scores of stressor, stress cognition and distress were under medium but coping scores were relatively high. 2) Significant differences in employed women's stressors were found according to age, income, job satisfaction, and family life cycle. Stress cognition differed according to job adjustment conditions and self-esteem. Also distress related with job conditions and object. Stress coping levels were different according to income, job conditions, self-esteem, and sex-role attitude. 3) In analyzing the causal effects among related variables, employed women's stressors were affected by job satisfaction and age. Also stress cognition were influenced by job satisfation and self-esteem. Job conditions showed significant effects on distress and self-esteem, sex-role attitudes showed on coping. Conclusively job satisfaction, self-esteem and gender equality were most important variables for employed women's stress. (Korean J of Human Ecology 2(1) : 25-37 1999)

  • The purpose of this study is to identify the types and features of job rotation being operated in a motor company. The types of job rotation have been classified according to the range of rotation and its cycle. Also, the features of the favorable rotation types were examined by the worker's age and their types of tasks. The results show that workers prefer broader ranges and slower cycles of rotations as they age. Moreover, older workers tend to show an increase in the preference of participating in job rotations. The result of this study is expected to be applied as fundamental data to job design.

  • Purpose: In this study, we would like to confirm that the transfer of young workers may be a means of enhancing their internal satisfaction, not to get a better job, by setting work-related characteristics that are highly relevant to job-related factors. Research design, data, and methodology: In this study, preparation for turnover was set as dependent variables to identify factors related to the turnover of young people, and the type of business, employment type, debt status, job satisfaction, job difficulty compared to education level, job difficulty, job degree, job major agreement, debt status, and other demographic social characteristics were selected as independent variables. Results: The characteristics related to personal criteria in job-seeking process were significant in the form of business, employment type, job satisfaction, work difficulty compared to the level of education, work difficulty compared to the level of technology, job major matching, and debt status. Conclusions: This study confirmed that young people's turnover may not simply be a means to get a better job, but to increase satisfaction in the internal aspects of their jobs, and that for young people, a job is an important development process that represents their identity and needs to be approached from a life-cycle perspective.

  • Purpose of this research is to analyze young job-seekers' preparation for employment process. Participants for the present research include 30 unmarried single males and females in their 20s, who are preparing for employment after graduating four-year colleges. To follow the rule of data triangulation, data includes in-depth personal interviews, field notes, memorandums, coding books, and additional questionnaires. There are 556 abstracted meaning units, 15 subcategories, 11 main categories, and final 5 themes from the data analysis. The result showed that young job-seekers were experiencing a typical cycle of preparation, attempt, failure, slump, and downgrade in job seeking standard. It is also observed that youth unemployment was a persistent phenomenon of vicious circle not easy to overcome. Especially, young job seekers were reported to restructure the perception on employment as they struggle for seeking a job, in particular, at times of experiencing hardship during the job hunting process. The interviewees responded that the possibility of getting a job declines as the job hunting period drags on eventually ending up with applying for a job of lower qualification standard.

  • Recently, Korean government promotes BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) for their public construction project to apply private sector's experience and finance initiatives. Many of public buildings and civil infrastructure projects were planned to be delivered by BTL and it helps to continue public projects under tight budget conditions. Since the characteristics of BTL projects, creative ideas for the project function, performance and its LCC (Life Cycle Cost) become more important than usual public work project. This paper introduces the systematic "VE job Plan" application techniques for BTL project and shows the process. This study shows the application of "VE job Plan" for BTL project to help decision making and value improvement. Also, Project cost was estimated by LCC (Life Cycle Cost) analysis. Technical "FAST diagram"was developed and used to find major functions of the project. So, it helps to improve performance of functions and make creative ideas. FAST diagram also help to find relationships between functions and cost. A case study (Daegu Art Gallery BTL Project) was conducted using proposed "VE job Plan. Study demonstrates how value management helps save money and increase functional performance. Researcher found that project can save cost and improve performance of functions significantly by using appropriate VE analysis process at appropriate time.
