Due to the rapid advancement of technologies, a growing number of innovative products with a short life-cycle have been introduced to the market. As the life-cycles of such products are shorter than those of durable goods, the demand variation during the life-cycle adds to the difficulty of inventory management. Traditional inventory planning models and techniques mostly deal with products that have long life-cycles. The assumptions on the demand pattern and subsequent solution approaches are generally, not suitable for dealing with products with short life-cycles. In this research, inventory replenishment problems based on the logistic demand model are formulated and solved to facilitate the management of products with short life-cycles. An extended Wagner- Whitin approach is used to determine the replenishment cycle, schedules and lot-sizes.

The objective of the study is to develop life cycle inventory (LCI) database of dam, a major facility for irrigation water supply. The types of database developed are three out of nine dams according to the size of the wate r storage capacity: two kinds larger than 500,000 $m^3$ depending on gate for discharging (Type 1) and the other dam smaller than 500,000 $m^3$ (Type 2). According to the LCI analysis, type 1 larger than 500,000 $m^3$ storage capacity with gate has the lowest environment impact in the 6 impact categories. The impact of the type 1 accounts for 7~35 % of the type 2 for supplying irrigation water. Comparing with the environment impacts of water for other uses such as drinking and industrial water, the impacts of 1 $m^3$ irrigation water supply is 4~45 % of the one for industrial water supply and 1~16 % of the drinking water's. The three types of LCI DB on the irrigation water by dams will be useful in the application of Life Cycle Assessment in agricultural products and environmental labelling including carbon footprint since it is complied to the guidelines of LCI DB constr uction issued by Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Knowledge Economy.

This paper considers an Economic Order Quantity Model under random life cycle. It is assumed that the life cycle of the product is unknown; a random variable. Three cost parameters are considered; ordering cost, inventory carrying cost and salvage cost. Expected total cost is the optimization criterion. We show that the optimal cycle length is unique and finite, and present a simple line search method to find an optimal cycle length.

As Kyoto protocol has been effective in 2005, the reduction of $CO_2$ emission is a global urgent problem. In Korea, the $CO_2$ emission of transportation increases continuously, which can be solved partially by the use of railroad. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate exactly the $CO_2$ emission of railroad through life cycle approach. In this study, the $CO_2$ emission of electric motor unit (EMU) was evaluated with its carboy material using life cycle inventory analysis (LCIA). Among the life cycles of EMU, $CO_2$ emission was the highest in the running phase. As the total weight of EMU was lowered, $CO_2$ emission was reduced. In conclusion, the light-weighting of EMU can reduce $CO_2$ emission efficiently.

A life cycle impact assessment was applied in an industrial waste incineration plant to evaluate the direct and indirect environmental impacts based on toxicity and non-toxicity categories. The detailed life cycle inventory of material and energy inputs and emission outputs was compiled based on the realistic data collected from a local industrial waste incineration plant, and the Korean life cycle inventory and ecoinvent database. The functional unit was the treatment of 1 tonne of industrial waste by incineration and the system boundary included the incineration plant and landfilling of ash. The result on the variation of the impact by the unit processes showed that the direct impact was decreased by 79.3, 71.6, and 90.1% for the processes in a semi dry reactor, bag filter, and wet scrubber, respectively. Considering the final impact produced from stack, the toxicity categories comprised 91.7% of the total impact. Among the toxicity impact categories, the impact in the eco-toxicity category was most significant. A separate estimation of the impact due to direct and indirect emissions showed that the direct impact was 97.7% of the total impact. The steam recovered from the waste heat of the incineration plant resulted in a negative environmental burden.

Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impacts of glass bottle recycle. The LCA consists of four stages such as Goal and Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory(LCI) Analysis, Life Cycle Impact Assessment(LCIA), and Interpretation. The LCI analysis showed that the major input materials were water, materials, sand, and crude oil, whereas the major output ones were wastewater, $CO_2$, and non-hazardous wastes. The LCIA was conducted for the six impact categories including 'Abiotic Resource Depletion', 'Acidification', 'Eutrophication', 'Global Warming', 'Ozone Depletion', and 'Photochemical Oxidant Creation'. As for Abiotic Resource Depletion, Acidification, and Photochemical Oxidant Creation, Bunker fuel oil C and LNG were major effects. As for Eutrophication, electricity and Bunker fuel oil C were major effects. As for Global Warming, electricity and LNG were major effects. As for Ozone Depletion, plate glasses were major effects. Among the six categories, the biggest impact potential was found to be Global Warming as 97% of total, but the rest could be negligible.

본 연구에서는 전과정평가 방법론을 활용하여 교량용 탄성받침 제조 공정에 대한 전과정목록(LCI) DB를 구축하고, 교량의 환경부하평가시 신뢰성 향상율을 분석하였다. 교량용 탄성받침의 영향평가 결과, 6대 영향범주 중 자원고갈, 지구온난화, 광화학산화물 생성 범주 순으로 주로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타냈다. 투입물의 기여도에서는 대부분의 영향범주에서 후판이 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 구축된 교량용 탄성받침 전과정목록(LCI) DB를 교량 환경부하평가에 적용한 결과 환경부하량은 평균 0.53% 증가하였으며, 투입자재의 금액기준 Cut-off는 11.36% 증가하였다. 교량용 탄성받침 LCI DB 구축을 통해 향후 온실가스 배출량 산정, 환경부하평가 등의 신뢰성을 향상시키고 현재 생산기술에 기반한 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 전과정평가 방법론을 활용하여 액체 이산화탄소 제조 공정에 대한 전과정목록 DB를 구축하였다. 특성화와 정규화 결과, 액체 이산화탄소의 제조는 자원소모, 지구온난화 범주가 주로 영향을 미치며, 다음으로 산성화, 부영양화, 광화학적산화물생성 순이었다. 투입물의 기여도에서는 대부분의 영향범주에서 전력이 가장 높았으며 산성화와 부영양화에는 대기배출이 높은 기여도를 나타내었다. 오존층 파괴 범주의 경우 암모니아가 주된 원인이었다. 본 액체 이산화탄소 LCI DB를 통하여 탄소성적표지 등의 국가적 차원의 환경 전략 활용이 활성화되기를 기대한다.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) usually involves some uncertainty. These uncertainties are generally divided in two categories such lack of data and data inaccuracy in life cycle inventory (LCI). This paper explo.es a methodology on dealing with uncertainty due to lack of data in LCI. In order to treat uncertainty of LCI data, a model for data uncertainty is proposed. The model works with probabilistic curves as inputs and with Monte Carlo Simulation techniques to propagate uncertainty. The probabilistic curves were derived from the results of survey in expert network and Monte Carlo Simulation was performed using the derived probabilistic curves. The results of Monte Carlo Simulation were verified by statistical test. The proposed approach should serve as a guide to improve data quality and deal with uncertainty of LCI data in LCA projects.

재고투자와 경기변동의 관계를 설명하는데 있어 생산평활(production smoothing) 가설과 재고소진 회피(stock-out avoidance) 가설은 서로 상반된 입장을 취하고 있다. 기업의 재고 투자에 관한 의사결정은 두 가지 동기 모두에 의해 영향받을 것으로 생각되지만 경기국면에 따라 각각의 영향력의 상대적 크기 혹은 방향성이 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 이에 본고는 재고투자 동학에서 생산평활 동기와 재고소진 회피동기의 상대적 유의성을 실증적으로 검증하되 경기국면별 비대칭성의 존재와 형태를 규명하는 데 분석의 초점을 둔 점에서 기존 연구와 차별성을 지닌다. 이를 위해 기존의 선형 재고투자 모형을 확장한 비선형 모형을 설정하였으며 이러한 방식이 기존 방식에 비해 우수한 지를 모형의 예측력을 비교 평가하여 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 재고투자 동학의 경기국면별 비대칭적 특성을 확인하였다. 경기 호황기에는 재고소진 회피동기가 나타나지만 생산평활 동기는 유의하지 않았다. 반대로 경기 불황기에는 재고소진 회피동기는 유의하지 않지만 Ramey (1991)에서 제시된 생산비용의 비볼록성에 의하여 재고변화가 경기침체를 심화시키는 경기 의존적 특성을 발견하였다. 경기국면별 비대칭성을 모형에 고려함으로써 그렇지 않은 모형에 비해 예측력을 향상시킬 수 있음을 표본 내 및 표본 외 예측, 다양한 예측력 검정을 통해 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 재고투자의 동학과 경기 불안정화 특성에 대한 이해를 제고하여 경제전망 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
