In this thesis presents line balancing problems of two-sided and mixed model assembly line widely used in practical fields using genetic algorithm for reducing throughput time, cost of tools and fixtures and improving flexibility of assembly lines. Two-sided and mixed model assembly line is a special type of production line where variety of product similar in product characteristics are assembled in both sides. This thesis proposes the genetic algorithm adequate to each step in tow-sided and mixed model assembly line with suitable presentation, individual, evaluation function, selection and genetic parameter. To confirm proposed genetic algorithm, we apply to increase the number of tasks in case study. And for evaluation the performance of proposed genetic algorithm, we compare to existing algorithm of one-sided and mixed model assembly line. The results show that the algorithm is outstanding in the problems with a larger number of stations or larger number of tasks.

Overlay parameter control of the semiconductor photolithography process is researched in this paper. Overlay parameters denote the error in superposing the current pattern to the pattern previously created. The reduction of the overlay deviation is one of the key factors in improving the quality of the semiconductor products. The semiconductor process is affected by numerous environment and equipment factors. Through process condition prediction and control, the overlay inaccuracy can be reduced. Generally, three types of process condition change exist; uncontrollable white noise, slowly changing drift, and abrupt condition shift. To effectively control the aforementioned process changes, control scheme using adaptive deadband is proposed. The suggested approach and existing control method are cross evaluated through simulation.

In this paper, we propose an integrated data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology in which the information about the hierarchical structures of input-output data can be reflected in the performance assessment of decision making units (DMUs). Firstly, this can be implemented by extending a traditional DEA model to a three-level DEA model. Secondly, weight bounds, using AHP, can be incorporated in the three-level DEA model. Finally, the effects of incorporating weight bounds can be analyzed by developing a parametric distance model. Increasing the value of a parameter in a domain of efficiency loss, we explore the various systems of weights. This may lead to various ranking positions for each DMU in comparison to the other DMUs. An illustrative example of road safety performance for a set of 19 European countries highlights the usefulness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we propose a two-stage group acceptance sampling plan for generalized inverted exponential distribution under truncated life test. Median life is considered as a quality parameter. Design parameters are obtained to ensure that true median life is longer than a given specified life at certain level of consumer's risk and producer's risk. We also explore situations under which design parameters based on median lifetime can be used for other percentile points. Tables and specific examples are reported to explain the proposed plans. Finally a real data set is analyzed to implement the plans in practical situations and some suggestions are given.

현재 널리 사용되고 있는 통신 망 관리 시스템들은 서로 다른 관리 정보 모델을 정의하여 사용하거나 다른 관리 프로토콜을 사용하여 통신하므로 호환성을 가지지 못하며, 망 구조와 관리 서비스의 기능이 서로 다르기 때문에 관리자가 관리 행위를 하는데 있어 통신량의 폭주를 발생시킨다. 이로 인해 복잡한 초고속 망 관리와 같은 시간에 제한을 받는 응용 서비스를 위해서는 망 관리 서비스나 기능을 관리하는 관리 응용은 실시간 처리가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 TMN 체계의 망 관리 기능 구현에 핵심적인 EML(Element Management System)의 기능을 분석하고, 효율적인 Subnetwork 관리 기능을 위한 기능별 클래스를 정의한다. 또한, 제안한 방법에서는 RFC1213에서 추출한 Parameter를 기능별 클래스로 모듈화하여 관리함으로써 망 관리 시스템의 부하를 분산시키며, 실시간으로 망을 관리할 수 있는 이점을 제공한다.

EM algorithm has good convergence rate for numerical procedures which converges on very small step. In the case of proportion estimation in a mixed distribution which has very big incomplete data or of update of new data continuously, however, EM algorithm highly depends on a initial value with slow convergence ratio. There have been many studies to improve the convergence rate of EM algorithm in estimating the proportion parameter of a mixed data. Among them, dynamic EM algorithm by Hurray Jorgensen and Titterington algorithm by D. M. Titterington are proven to have better convergence rate than the standard EM algorithm, when a new data is continuously updated. In this paper we suggest dynamic EM algorithm and Titterington algorithm for the estimation of a mixed Poisson distribution and compare them in terms of convergence rate by using a simulation method.

As product quality is maily determined in the product design and process design step, systematic design should be performed through parameter design and tolerance design. Therefore, we introduced analysis of variance and regression analysis as a statistical method which determine optimal levels of affective design factors to product characteristics, then we compared that process and result. In analysis of variance, variation of quality characteristics arises from noise factors, so the optimal levels of design factors are selected to minimize the effect of noise factors. In regression analysis, variation of quality characteristics aries from variation of each own design factors. As a method to reduce variation of these quality characteristics, sensitivity analysis was performed about each design factors. Through this sensitivity analysis, we represented process to calculate the interaction term of the factors.

The Deterioration Factor (DF) for a single pollutant within an engine family is computed as the ratio of two points on a linear regression line describing durability vehicle test results as a function of accumulated mileage. It is inteded to represent the factor by which emissions will increase during the ''useful life" of a vehicle in the engine family. Here are discribed procedures for computing the DF and how consideration of the DF is included in the development for the motor vehicle emission certification process. This paper is aimed to develop the distribution of the DF for three pollutant and to estimate the parameter values for the distribution of the DF.

In general, most industrial products exhibit bath-tub shaped curve for their failure rate functions. This distributional life model can be obtained by the Piecewise Weibull distribution. The least squares, maximum likelihood, and mixed methods of estimating the parameters of the Piecewise Weibull distribution are compared. The comparison is made by using the empirical mean squared errors of (a) the parameter estimates and (b) the estimated change-points, to summarize the results of 1000 simulated samples of three sizes - each 100, 150 and 200. The results are that the mixed method estimation comes to be the best as the sample sizes increase.

In this paper, we consider the problem of testing independence in the absolutely continuous bivariate exponential distribution of Block and Basu(1974). We construct a bootstrap procedure for testing zero and non-zero values of the parameter ${\lambda}_3$ which measures the degree of dependence and compare the power of the bootstrap test with likelihood ratio test(LRT) by Gupta et al.(1984) and the test based on maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) $\hat{{\lambda}}_3$ by Hanagal and Kale(1991) for small and moderate sample sizes.
