This study focuses on determining the impacts of organizational culture on the accounting information system and the operational performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City. The paper is organized in five parts: introduction, literature review, research methodology, research results, and conclusion and policy implications. Based on the samples of 353 respondents working in small and mediumsized enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, the research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to find the answers for research questions. Group discussion, which yields final observed variables of the factors of organizational culture is used for qualitative method. Statistics, assessment of the reliability of Cronbach's Alpha scale, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) are used for quantitative procedure. The results show that mission, involvement and inconsistency in organizational culture positively affect the accounting information system of small and medium-sized firms in Vietnam. In addition, mission, involvement, adaptability and consistency in organizational culture are found to have positive impacts on the firm operational performance. Another finding of the study is that the accounting information system has a positive effect on operational performance of small and medium-sized firms in Vietnam.

The k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is defined as k-out-of-n system which both includes warm-standby and cold-standby components. In case that operating components in the system fail and the system needs quick transition of standby components to operation state, the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is useful for decreasing system failure rate and operational cost. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem (RROP) involves selection of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. A solution methodology by using harmony search algorithm for RROP of the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy to maximize system reliability was suggested in this study.

Qualification includes all activities to demonstrate that a product meets and exceeds the reliability goals. Manufacturers need to spend time and resources for the qualification processes under the pressure of reducing time to market, as well as offering a competitive price. Failure to qualify a product could result in economic loss such as warranty and recall claims and the manufacturer could lose the reputation in the market. In order to provide valid and reliable qualification results, manufacturers are required to make extra effort based on the operational and environmental characteristics of the product. This paper discusses optimal interval censoring design for reliability prediction of electronic packages under limited time and resources. This design should provide more accurate assessment of package capability and thus deliver better reliability prediction.

This paper presents a reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) using bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO). An actual design involves uncertain conditions such as material property, operational load and dimensional variation. Deterministic topology optimization (DTO) is obtained without considering of uncertainties related to the uncertainty parameters. However, the RBTO can consider the uncertainty variables because it has the probabilistic constraints. In this paper, the reliability index approach (RIA) is adopted to evaluate the probabilistic constraint. RBTO based on BESO starting from various design domains produces a similar optimal topology each other. Numerical examples are presented to compare the DTO with the RBTO.

In this work, an analytic approach to the dependability of software in the operational phase is suggested with special attention to the hardware fault effects on the software behavior : The hardware faults considered are memory faults and the dependability measure in question is the reliability. The model is based on the simple reliability theory and the graph theory which represents the software with graph composed of nodes and arcs. Through proper transformation, the graph can be reduced to a simple two-node graph and the software reliability is derived from this graph. Using this model, we predict the reliability of an application software in the digital system (ILS) in the nuclear power plant and show the sensitivity of the software reliability to the major physical parameters which affect the software failure in the normal operation phase. We also found that the effects of the hardware faults on the software failure should be considered for predicting the software dependability accurately in operation phase, especially for the software which is executed frequently. This modeling method is particularly attractive for the medium size programs such as the microprocessor-based nuclear safety logic program.

The objective of this paper is to provide a model for effective implementation of costing RAM management in the design and procurement of production facility considering the system cost-performance trade-off. This research proposes a two-step approach of costing RAM design and test of system RAM for production facility. In Step 1, a static model is proposed to find an initial system configuration to meet the required performance based on system RAM and LCC and analyzes the trade-off relationships between various factors of RAM and LCC. In the second Step, we developed time and failure truncated models for system reliability test and analysis. For the computational purpose, we developed computer programs and have shown the sample results. By the sample test run, the proposed model has shown the possibilities to provide a good method to analyze system performance evaluation for both design and operational phase, This model can be applied to a wide variety of systems not only for costing RAM of the production facilities but also for the other kinds of equipment.

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe several issues which should be considered in the human reliability analysis of soft control operations in nuclear power plants. Background: The operational environment of advanced main control rooms is totally different from that of conventional control rooms. The soft control is one of the major distinguishable features of the advanced main control rooms. The soft control operations should be analyzed to estimate the effects on human reliability. Method: The literatures, about task analysis, simulation data analysis, and a human reliability analysis method for the soft control, were reviewed. From the review, important issues for the human reliability analysis of the soft control were raised. Results: The results of task and simulation data analysis showed that the soft control characteristics could have large effect on human reliability and they should be considered in the human reliability analysis of the soft control operations. Conclusion: The soft control may affect human error and performance of operators. The issues described in this paper should be considered in the human reliability method for the advanced main control rooms. Application: The results of the soft control operation analysis might help to design more efficient interface and education/training program for preventing human errors. The described issues might help to develop a human reliability analysis method for soft control operations.

비행시험 운용절차는 유도무기 비행시험 시스템 설계 및 구현을 위한 중요 산출물의 하나로서 비행시험 진행 단계별 임무계획, 수행방법, 안전대책 등을 포함한다. 유도무기체계 개발이 첨단화, 전략화 됨에 따라서 유도무기 비행시험은 점차 복잡화, 광역화 되고 있다. 이에 따라 시험안전을 확보하기 위해서는 비행시험 운용절차의 신뢰성 증대가 요구되었다. 특히, 새로운 개념의 비행시험 수행을 위해서 시험 전 불확실성을 예측하고 대비할 수 있도록 비행시험 운용절차 설계에서 M&S 기법의 적용을 통한 검증이 필요하게 되었다. 관련 연구로서 비행시험의 최적 프레임워크 개발 연구와 비행시험 프로세스 모델기반 개선 연구들이 발표되었지만, 상위 개념의 프로세스를 중심으로 한 결과로서 하위 수준의 비행시험 자원과 연동하는 비행시험 운용절차에 직접 적용하기에는 구체성이 부족하였다. 또한, 기존의 문서기반으로 구성된 비행시험 운용절차는 시험자원의 거동과 성능에 대한 분석능력의 한계로 시험자원의 중복과 누락, 직관적이지 않는 표현으로 운용자 간의 의사소통 저하, 그리고 다수의 비행시험에 적용하기 위한 확장성 부족 등의 문제가 발생하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 모델기반 시스템공학(MBSE) 기법의 적용을 통한 유도무기 비행시험 운용절차의 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 구체적으로 이전의 비행시험 정보를 기반으로 비행시험 진행 단계와 수행방안을 정의한 후, 요구사항으로부터 시험자원의 임무수행을 SysML 모델 기반으로 구성한 템플릿으로 제공하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해서 정상상황과 비상상황에 대한 최적의 수행절차를 도출하였으며, 사례 적용을 통해서 검증하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 시험자원의 거동과 성능에 대한 분석능력의 증대로 신뢰성이 향상되었고, 다수의 비행시험에 적용할 수 있는 확장성으로 효율성이 증대되었으며, 향후 개발 예정인 유도 무기 비행시험에도 지속적으로 활용할 수 있다.
