This paper presents the study on the development of a DNC, system IPIS(Interactive Plant Information System)/DNC, which can manage NC machines and robots as a distributed control method in the machine. processing factory. The IPIS/DNC system is composed of a host computer, satellites and NC machines. A set of software modules are developed on the host computer and the satellites separately. By modularizing each functions of the IPIS/DNC system and using multi-taking method, the functions such as NC program management, NC program distribution, and shop monitoring can be performed on the host computer, and the functions such as NC program transfer to the NC machines, and NC program editing can be performed on the satellites. A Relational database which is linked with job scheduling system is used for IPIS/DNC system.

Applying JIT(Just-In-Time) production system to strength competitiveness power and renovate managent has problems. This study is proposed to solve one of the problems, that mother company has different production system with subcontractor, in order to connect production system of mother company with subcontractor. In the view of the Pull System, production system of mother company, it is possible that the more smoothed production planning is established by developing the algorithm the smoothed production planning preserving the LOTproduction system and comparing the existing research. Also, in the view of subcontractor taking Push System, the possibility of keeping delivery and improving productivity is proved using simulation technique by changing Job shop to GT Cell production system because demand is fluctuating.

The drum-buffer-rope(DBR) system is a finite scheduling mechanism that balances the flow of the production system. DBR controls the flow of materials through the plant in order to produce products in accordance with market demand, with a minimum of manufacturing lead time, inventory, and operating expenses. This paper integrates the best of MRP push system and JIT pull system with DBR system, efficiently adapts these logics to capacity constraint resources, and contributes to the evolution of synchronous manufacturing. The purpose of this paper is, thus, threefold. The first objective is to identify the frame of theory of constraints(TOC) and the logic of DBR scheduling. The second objective is to formulate the DBR constraint scheduling problems(DBRCSP) in a job shop environments. Finally, the paper is to suggest the solution procedure of DBRCSP for embedding TOC into MRP/JIT along with an numerical expression. In addition, illustrative numerical example is given.

An automated manufacturing process mechanism for string musical instruments has been designed in this study. In contrast to other manufacturing products, classical string instruments try to preserve their traditional design shapes even in these days and involve variety of wood working(carpentry) characteristics including highly skilled curved surfaces treatments. Great efforts have been put to develop an integrated and automated system for improved product quality and process control, reduced physical labors, better safety etc. They, however, have been limited to devise jigs and tools with regard to selected processes due to lack of technology and research man-powers. We carefully examined the products and process characteristics, and an automated mechanism which overcome prevailing drawbacks has been derived.

This study presents a plant concept design for a smart factory which is mainly targeted to machine airplane parts. The plant layout is based on the TOC-DBR approach together with autonomous distributed factory control considered, while discrete event simulation is also performed in order to validate its layout. The resulting layout and its procedure turn out to be quite a useful guideline in realizing those smart factories especially for machining-oriented manufacturing industries.

We consider a multi-agent scheduling problem such that each agent tries to maximize the weighted number of just-in-time jobs. Two objectives are considered : the first is to find the optimal solution for one agent with constraints on the other agents' weight functions, and the second is to find the largest set of efficient schedules of which corresponding objective vectors are different for the case with identical weights. We show that when the number of agents is fixed, the single machine case with the first objective is NP-hard in the ordinary sense, and present the polynomial- time algorithm for the two-machine flow shop case with the second objective and identical weights.

We suggest and evaluate a dynamic scheduling rule of machines and material handling systems for on-line operation in job shop type Flexible Manufacturing System. Alternating status should be able to take operation scheduling procedures and without delay in dynamic industrial environments effectively. The interaction(SPT-NS, SPT-QSNS, SPT-NUJ, EDD-NS, EDD-QSNS, EDD-NUJ, CR-NS, CR-QSNS, CR-NUJ) between machine operation scheduling and AGV dispatching rule were also studied in this research. The performance evaluation which was obtained from DSS compares the performance of Flow time, and Empty to loaded travel ratio. It is Compared with the best rules & two system.

This Study will introduce the concept of CTP(Capable-to-Promise) Algorithm, CTP process, and the modeling of algorithm. This research is based on the environment of using Job-Shop method. CTP algorithm model use LPST(Latest Possible Start Time) and EPST(Earliest Possible Start Time) method especially. It is important part of executing CTP system. The CTP modeling and implementing develops to system which is able to implement in the various business environment through additional and continuous research.

Work-related injurieshave become the issue in the twentieth century. Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common work-related injuriesand the most frequent from of work-related i11-health (more than 50％ of total work-related injuries (BLS 1990)). The workers at copy shops have complained of pain in their back, legs, and shoulders. Most of them work for more than 8 hours a day. They have claimed that their pains were associated with repetitive and continuous work over a long term. The purpose of this research is to suggest an ergonomically comfortable redesign of the copy machine. This study was performed by conducting a survey of copy shop workers who have complained of job-related physical pain, and analyzing their working postures. The copy machine was ergonomically modified to reduce the workers' pain. The VIS10N 3000 software was used to analyze the posture. The analysis showed significant difference in the ranges of back and neck motion (p<0.05).
