It is essential in modern industry that quality and procuctivity are improved continuously. To accomplish this purpose, quality control must be maintained in all parts of a company. Recently, some tire manufacture companies are beginning to show interest in quality control. They have tried to achive some results through the statistical analysis for the experimental data which has accumulated up to now and then they strive to determine the structural relationship between the design factors in tire construction and tire performance characteristics. The measurement data obtained from the construction engineering is given in multivariate form owing to the various properties found in tire design components as wll as in performance. Also it may be existed the relationship among the multimple response variables. Thus we proposes the use of the biplot graphical display as an analytic tool of data matrices with complex respects. The proposed biplots are also availalbe to understand both the underlying structure of the data and the roles played by the different components. In particular, we consider the matter of how best to use the biplots in the maltivariate analysis of variance and multiple response data. Finally we apply this method to analyze the actual data.

Many manufacturing companies consider the integrated and concurrent scheduling because they need the global optimization technology that could manufacture various products more responsive to customer needs. In this paper, we propose an advanced scheduling model to generate the schedules considering resource constraints and precedence constraints in make-to-order (MTO) manufacturing environments. Precedence of work- in-process(WIP) and resources constraints have recently emerged as one of the main constraints in advanced scheduling problems. The advanced scheduling problems is formulated as a multiobjective mathematical model for generating operation schedules which are obeyed resources constraints, alternative workstations of operations and the precedence constraints of WIP in MTO manufacturing. For effectively solving the advanced scheduling problem, the multi-objective hybrid genetic algorithm (m-hGA) is proposed in this paper. The m-hGA is to minimize the makespan, total flow time of order, and maximum tardiness for each order, simultaneously. The m-hGA approach with local search-based mutation through swap mutation is developed to solve the advanced scheduling problem. Numerical example is tested and presented for advanced scheduling problems with various orders to describe the performance of the proposed m-hGA.

Carbon fibers are a new breed of high-strength materials. The existence of carbon fiber came into being in 1879 when Edison took out a patent for the manufacture of carbon filaments suitable for use in electric lamps. However, it was in the early 1960s when successful commercial production was started, as the requirements of the aerospace industry for better and lightweight materials became of paramount importance. In recent decades, carbon fibers have found wide applications in commercial and civilian aircraft, along with recreational, industrial, and transportation markets as the price of carbon fiber has come down and technologies have matured. The market for carbon fiber has experienced a good growth in recent years. The growth rate for the last 23years was about 12%. The article reviewed 9,641 Korea, U.S., Japan, Europe patents issued in the carbon fibers in order to offer additional insight for researchers and companies seeking to navigate carbon fiber patent landscape. This article will provide you with all the valuable information and tools you will need to investigate your study successfully within the carbon fiber field. This article also will save you hundreds of hours of your own personal research time and will significantly benefit you in expanding your business in the carbon fiber market.

Sewing is an important process in clothes-making. It is directly or indirectly connected to a factor of fitness, as is the case of pattern making and design. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the sewing methods for tight skirts currently being sold by twelve clothing companies on the market. For the purpose, the skirts, which was released in 2002 Fall season, was physically disassembled and then every sewing detail was closely investigated. The major findings are as follows: All sorts of the skirts show different sewing methods in hemlines, back slits, and zipper. Hemlines and zippers, hand-sewn, are often used by high-price brands. Brands that emphasize trends usually use machine sewing. Specifically, the sewing methods applied in the allowances at the upper part of the back slit show significant differences among brands. One method leaves allowances enough in both sides for the stability of the skirts, another trims both allowances very closely, and the other trims only left-side allowance down to the edge of the back slit. This study findings will be helpful not only in understanding sewing techniques for skirts and improving its quality, but also in offering more comfortable and superior clothes for consumers.

The main objective of the study is to measure the vulnerability of Indonesia's financial system stability in response to external shocks, including from regional economies namely three biggest Indonesia major trading partners (China, the U.S and Japan) and other external factors (oil price and the federal funds rate). Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Orthogonalized Impulse Response Function (OIRF) with quarterly data over the period Q4 2002 - Q1 2016, results confirm that, 1) oil price response has the largest effect to Indonesia financial stability system and the effect period is the longest compared to others, represented by NPL and IHSG; 2) among those three economies, only China's economic growth has significantly positive effect to Indonesia financial stability system. Based on the findings it is better for the authorities to: 1) Diversify international trade commodities by decreasing share of oil, gas, and mining export and boosting other potential sectors such as manufacture, and fisheries; 2) Ensure the survival of Indonesia large coal exporter companies without neglecting burden of national budget; and 3) Create buffer for demand shock from specific countries by diversifying and increasing share of trading from other countries particularly from ASEAN member states.

The term "GMP" firstly came on the 1962 amendment of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act and the US FDA established and officially announced the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulation for the first time in the world in 1963. In 1969, the World Health Organization published the GMP regulation and recommended that member states adopt the GMP regulation and implement the "GMP Certification Scheme" for international commerce of finished pharmaceutical products. As a result, GMP requirements have become important ones that have to be complied with in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. The Korean GMP regulation was announced as the official notification by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1977. The KGMP regulation was voluntarily adopted by pharmaceutical companies at the early stage, but it had become mandatory. In addition, various kinds of GMP regulations have been established to cover active pharmaceutical ingredients, biological products and others, in addition to finished pharmaceutical products. Taking account of technological development and changes in the pharmaceutical environments, the KGMP regulation was fully amended and harmonized with GMP requirements of developed countries. In this way, the KGMP has developed to keep up with international trends and standards, leading to accession to the Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S).

The regulation of Material safety data sheets(MSDS) was required for the chemicals in use in the workplace from July 1976. Under the provisions of the workplace hazardous materials information system, employers in Korea must be provided with accurate and comprehensive MSDS. To examine the reliability of MSDS for organic solvents, 63 organic solvents and MSDS were collected from the workplace of 39 companies located in Kyonggi province. Manufacture\`s MSDS were compared with the actual composition of the collected samples, and further examined the reliability by checking whether the chemicals analyzed were included in the MSDS correctly. 38 solvents were able to analyze their composition by gas chromatography-mass selective detector(GC-MSD). Among them, 28 solvents were incorrect in their composition and contents. In some case, health hazardous or carcinogenic chemicals which were not included in the MSDS were detected from samples. As a result of evaluating whether the MSDS correspond to the regulation required by Industrial Safety and Health Act (ISHA), the information in the MSDS including hazard classification, occupational exposure level, toxicity, regulatory information were incorrectly provided, and some MSDS did not disclose carcinogenic in their MSDS, and some MSDS were not written in the standard format. From this survey, continuous monitoring and promoting correct MSDS, and analyzing the components of the solvents were required to endure the reliability of MSDS for organic solvents.

Recently, used batteries are causing an environmental contamination and a waste of limited resources with increasing demand of portable secondary batteries in market. In developed countries, their governments have legally required the manufacture to collect and recycle the used batteries, so the related companies have formed an organization for collecting the used batteries and they are effectively recycling them. Unfortunately, an infrastructure for collecting and recycling the used batteries are not established at home yet, while volume of the used batteries are increasing. Therefore, we need an effective measure to ensure the recycling of the used batteries as soon as possible.
