  • In this paper, we focus an optimal policy focus optimal class of (s, S) inventory control systems. To this end, we use the perturbation analysis and apply a stochastic optimization algorithm to minimize the average cost over a period. We obtain the gradients of objective function with respect to ordering amount S and reorder point s via a combined perturbation method. This method uses the infinitesimal perturbation analysis and the smoothed perturbation analysis alternatively according to occurrences of ordering event changes. Our simulation results indicate that the optimal estimates of s and S obtained from a stochastic optimization algorithm are quite accurate. We consider that this may be due to the estimated gradients of little noise from the regenerative system simulation, and their effect on search procedure when we apply the stochastic optimization algorithm. The directions for future study stemming from this research pertain to extension to the more general inventory system with regard to demand distribution, backlogging policy, lead time, and review period. Another directions involves the efficiency of stochastic optimization algorithm related to searching procedure for an improving point of (s, S).

  • This study was carried out to investigate the properties of Kimchi made with potato as compared to Kimchi made with radish. The pH, acidity, hardness, and number of lactic acid bacteria were examined as properties of the Kimchi to determine the suitability of adding the potato and with focus on the possible duration of storage. First in the case of pH, the storage duration at pH $4.2{\sim}4.3$, which is the state for optimal tasting Kimchi, was approximately 10days in the control group, while that of the experimental group was 10 to 16 days, and thus, longer than the control. Second in the case of acidity, representing the maturity of Kimchi, we examined the time it took to reach 0.6% acidity, in which the experimental group took more longer time than the control. Although the experimental group was slower to mature than the control, the period for keeping at the proper pH was longer than that of the control group. Thirdly, in the case of hardness, which relates to softening, the experimental group had remarkably high values. This suggests that the Kimchi in the experimental group had a more rigid texture and more difficultly softening than the control group. Lastly in the case of the number of lactic acid bacteria, which closely relates to the process of fermentation, there were no significant differences. In conclusion, these results indicate that adding potato to Kimchi can extend its storage period.

  • This study was performed to control the thermal crack of the mat footing slab in the multi-purposed buildings. In this study, we executed the mixing design of concrete to satisfy the workability and the quality according to the site conditions. And, we evaluated quantitatively about the possibility of thermal crack by using hydration heat analysis system. Finally, we proposed the optimal mixing conditions, curing methods and curing period which all factors are considered. As a result, the optimal mixing conditions were : W/B 41%, unit binder 375kgf/$\textrm{m}^3$, FA replacement ratio 20%. Lowest thermal stress was 22.0kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and at that time thermal crack index was over 1.5, when the coefficient of thermal conductivity was lowest among the curing conditions. And, the total curing time was estimated at 6.7 days according to curing steps.

  • The Q-cost has been used in the manufacturing company to decide the optimal level of company's product quality, and to evaluate the effect of company's quality control system since the advent of Q-cost theory. In spite of the following costs are generated in the user side, owing to an unsuitable level of product quality and inadequacy of company's quality control system, these costs are not usually included in the company's Q-cost : (1) the cost generated in relation to a claim proposal as traffic expeneses and transpotation of the product. (2) the cost of maintenance through the useful life of the product, especially accured after quality warranty period. (3) the cost related to the economical efficiency in using the product. (4) the cost ralated to a customer dissatisfaction for the product quality. In this point of view, the contents of user side Q-cost, and the relations between the user side Q-cost and the level of company's product quality are discussed. And then the importance of user side Q-cost in order to determine the optimal quality level is discussed.

  • As flexible manufacturing technology has become available across a broad range of applications, an increasingly large number of firms have confronted decisions about when to adopt the FMS technology and the size of FMS at that time. For small to medium size firms that should invest under budget limitation and high investment risk, proper size of FMS adoption at proper time is very important. In this paper the discrete optimal control theory has been used to make decisions about the size and timing of FMS capacity expansion over a planning period. Sensitivity analysis is presented for analysing the behavior of the model to variations of model parameters.

  • This paper presents a design of deadbeat control system for DC motor driving such a rotational mechanical system with gear as a printing machine. The deadbeat response design developed for control system of a sampled continuous-data process does not guarantee zero intersampling ripples, but the proposed deadbeat control system that consists of the integral controller and the full-order state observer, has many advantages such as an output response without the ripples, and setting time than the optimal control system in the same sampling period. The results of case study through MATLAB simulation are shown that the efficiency of the proposed controller for DC motor driving a rotational system with gear is verified by comparing with optimal controller etc..

  • This paper presents a control method for energy cost saving in the water reuse pumping system. An optimize horizon switching strategy is proposed to implement an pump control. And Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to solve optimal problems in each time step.

The control method in water reuse pumping systems is determined to reduce the TOU cost. The simulation results show a energy cost saving for water reuse pumping systems.

  • This paper presents a torque ripple reduction method of direct torque control (DTC) using fuzzy controller with optimal selection strategy of voltage vectors in a five-phase induction motor. The conventional DTC method has some drawbacks. First, switching frequency changes according to the hysteresis bands and motor's speed. Second, the torque ripple is rapidly increased in long control period. In order to solve these problems, some/most papers have proposed torque ripple reduction methods by using the optimal duty ratio of the non-zero voltage vector. However, these methods are complicated in accordance with the parameter. If this drawback is eliminated, the torque ripple can be reduced compared with conventional method. In addition, the DTC can be simply controlled without the use of the parameter. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is changing the voltage vector insertion time by using the designed fuzzy controller. Also, the optimized voltage vector selection method is used in accordance with the torque error. Simulation and experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
