We study the firm's strategy to price its products and plan the spare parts manufacturing so as to maximize its profit and at the same time to fulfill its commitment to providing the customers with the key parts continuously over the relevant decision time horizon, i.e., the production plus warrantee period. To examine the research question, we developed and solved a two-stage optimal control theory model. Our analysis suggests that if the cost to produce the spare part during the warrantee period is more expensive than that during the production period, the firm should increase its sales price gradually throughout the production period to control its sales. In addition, during the production period it is optimal for the firm to produce the spare parts more than needed so that the overproduced spare parts can be used to partially meet the demand during the warrantee period. We conducted numerical analysis to investigate the sensitivity dynamics among key variables and parameters such as inventory holding cost, unit spare part production costs, part failure rate, and parameters in the demand function.

In this paper, we want to know the optimal replacement cycle(time) for this study was performed. The optimal preventive replacement age can be fond by finding the value of time that minimizes the cost function(model of Barlow and Jardine). In addition, The reliability of the relay according to the service environment were studied. The use of the exchange relay period is longer, and maintenance cost rate(per hour) may increase, and also the reliability may cause a decline. In addition, considering the preventive maintenance and purchase order, a representative relay(RAX-L440-A type) life was calculated.

This paper considers software release problems based on Goel-Okumoto and S-shaped reliability growth models. Test of the software system is terminated after a preassigned time T, and it is released to the operational phase. It is assumed that correction cost of an error is increasing with test or operation time. Optimum software release time is obtained using total expected cost on the software life time as a criterion for optimization. In addition, optimal software release policies under the constraint of a software reliability requirement are discussed.

Recently, the importance of energy demand management, particularly peak load control, has been increasing due to the policy changes of the Second Energy Basic Plan. Even though the installation of distributed generation systems such as Photovoltaic and energy storage systems (ESS) are encouraged, high initial installation costs make it difficult to expand their supply. In this study, the power consumption of a university building was measured in real time and the measured power consumption data was used to calculate the optimal installation capacity of the Photovoltaic and ESS, respectively. In order to calculate the optimal capacity, it is necessary to analyze the operation methods of the Photovoltaic and ESS while considering the KEPCO electricity billing system, power consumption patterns of the building, installation costs of the Photovoltaic and ESS, estimated savings on electric charges, and life time. In this study, the power consumption of the university building with a daily power consumption of approximately 200kWh and a peak power of approximately 20kW was measured per minute. An economic analysis conducted using these measured data showed that the optimal capacity was approximately 30kW for Photovoltaic and approximately 7kWh for ESS.

To optimize the preparation process for oven-roasted glutinous rice cake, an experiment was derived using a central mixing composite design to determine the optimal conditions. The addition of flour by soaking time as well as sucrose and water, were the independent variables, with the moisture content, color, sensory, and texture properties of the ovenroasted glutinous rice cakes selected as response variables. For the moisture content, color, sensory, and textural properties, we found significant effects for moisture, lightness, redness, hardness, and cohesiveness in the oven-roasted glutinous rice cakes, and water was one of the most influential factors. The optimal mixing conditions for the highest quality oven-roasted glutinous rice cake, in terms of sensory and textural properties, were 266.0 g of water, 25.4 g of sucrose, and 61.5 minutes of soaking time for the glutinous rice flour. The soaking time was in close to the median, whereas the water and sucrose values were slightly above the median.

In this paper, we have formulated optimum Accelerated Life Test (ALT) plan for a parallel system with two independent components using masked data with ramp-stress loading scheme and Type-I censoring. Consider a system of two independent and non-identical components connected in parallel. Such a system fails whenever all of its components has failed. The exact component that causes the system to fail is often unknown due to cost and time constraint. For each parallel system at test, we observe its system's failure time and a set of component that includes the component actually causing the system to fail. The stress-life relationship is modelled using inverse power law, and cumulative exposure model is assumed to model the effect of changing stress. The optimal plan consists in finding out the optimum stress rate using D-optimality criterion. The method developed has been explained using a numerical example and sensitivity analysis carried out.

Alkaline bacterium producing a high pro-tease activity at low temperature was isolated by using enrichment culture from soil samples and identified as Bacil-lus sp. WRD-1 Cell growth was maximal at 10 hours and the optimal initial pH and culture time of culture condition for enzyme production was pH 7 and 10 hours, respectively. Temperature range of high enzyme activity were $10~40^{\circ}C$. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH9 and $30^{\circ}C$.

Production of the antioxidant substances by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was investigated using shake-flask fermentation. The one-factor-at-a-time method was first employed to determine the key ingredients for optimal medium composition, then further investigation of the medium composition was performed using response surface methodology (RSM). The antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) assays. After screening various elements, fructose, tryptone, and $MgSO_4\;7H_2O$ were chosen as the main factors for study in the statistical experimental design. Central composite design (CCD) was then used to determine the optimal concentrations of these 3 components. Under the proposed optimized medium containing 2.8% fructose, 1.34% tryptone, 0.015% $MgSO_4\;7H_2O$), 0.5% NaCl, and 0.25% $K_2HPO_4$, the model predicted an antioxidant activity of 80.5% ($R^2=0.9421$. The actual experimental results were in agreement with the prediction.

본 논문에서는 강박스 거더의 생애주기비용을 최소화하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 고려된 강박스 거더의 생애주기비용은 초기비용, 유지관리비용 및 보수비용으로 구성되었다. 강재 주형의 상태등급곡선과 안전진단 결과 측정된 내하력을 바탕으로 내하력곡선을 추정하였으며, 이 곡선을 이용하여 생애주비용을 고려한 강박스 거더의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 또한 내하력곡선을 통해 강박스 거더의 공용수명과 보수 보강 시기 및 횟수를 결정하고 초기 내하력에 따른 생애주기 동안 발생하는 연간비용을 비교, 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 생애주기비용을 고려한 강박스 거더의 최적설계를 통하여 기존의 설계에 비해 보다 경제적이며 안전한 설계를 유도할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

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.
