The basic purpose of the JIT(Just In Time) production system is to increase profits by reducing costs-that is, by completely eliminating waste such as excessive stocks or workforce. To achieve cost reduction, Production must promptly and flexibly adapt to changes in market demand without having wasteful slacks. :iuch an ideal is accomplished by the concept of JIT, producing the necessary items in the necessary quantities at the necessary time. The JIT production system is supported by the following: reduction of setup time, smoothing of production, standardization of jobs, improvement activities, design of machine layout, Kanban system, autonomation etc. This study examined the present state of the domestic JIT production system and introduced the empirical case of JIT application a small and medium manufacturing company. A synthetic resins manufacturing company applied JIT principles to its processes and achieved the great performance.

In this paper, broadband shunt technique for increasing transmission loss is experimentally investigated. Piezoelectric shunt damping is studied using resonant shunt circuit and negative capacitor shunt circuit. A resonant shunt circuit is implemented by using a resistor and inductor. Negative Capacitor shunt damping is similar in nature to resonant shunt damping techniques, as a single piezoelectric material is used to dampen multi-mode. Performance of both methods is experimentally studied for noise reduction. This is based upon SAE J1400 test method and a transmission loss measurement system is provided for it. This paper will present the test setup fer transmission loss measurement and the tuning procedure of shunt circuits. Finally the results of sound transmission tests will be shown.

In this paper, admittance is introduced to represent electro-mechanical characteristics of piezoelectric structures and to predict the performance of piezoelectric shunt system. Finite element method is used to obtain numerical admittance. In order to illuminate the effect of noise reduction in the shunt system, two experimental setups were constructed. One is for matching the resonant shunt damping. The other is a standard test setup according to SAE J1400 used to measure the transmission loss for the smart panel with shunt circuit. Shunt performance and noise reduction of smart panel are realized by these two experiments.

Supercavitation is one of the most attractive technologies to achieve high speed for underwater vehicles. However, the multiphase flow with high-speed around the supercavitating vehicle (SCV) is difficult to simulate accurately. In this paper, we use modified the turbulent viscosity formula in the Standard K-Epsilon (SKE) turbulent model to simulate the supercavitating flow. The numerical results of flow over several typical cavitators are in agreement with the experimental data and theoretical prediction. In the last part, a flying SCV was studied by unsteady numerical simulation. The selected computation setup corresponds to an outdoor supercavitating experiment. Only very limited experimental data was recorded due to the difficulties under the circumstance of high-speed underwater condition. However, the numerical simulation recovers the whole scenario, the results are qualitatively reasonable by comparing to the experimental observations. The drag reduction capacity of supercavitation is evaluated by comparing with a moving vehicle launching at the same speed but without supercavitation. The results show that the supercavitation reduces the drag of the vehicle dramatically.

A cable stayed bridge under construction has low structural damping and is not as stable as the completed bridge. Control countermeasures, such as the installation of energy dissipating devices, are thus required. In this study, the general procedure and key issues on adopting an active control device, the active mass damper (AMD), for vibration control of cable stayed bridges under construction were studied. Taking a typical cable stayed bridge as the prototype structure; a lab-scale test structure was designed and fabricated firstly. A baseline FEM model was then setup and updated according to the modal parameters measured from vibration test on the structure. A numerical study to simulate the bridge-AMD control system was conducted and an efficient LQG-based controller was designed. Based on that, an experimental implementation of AMD control of the transverse vibration of the bridge model was performed. The results from numerical simulation and experimental study verified that the AMD-based active control was feasible and efficient for reducing dynamic responses of a complex structural system. Moreover, the discussion made in this study clarified some critical problems which should be addressed for the practical implementation of AMD control on real cable-stayed bridges.

Conventional non-destructive techniques for inspection of the weld in pipelines require significant test time and high cost. Ultrasonic guided waves have been widely studied and successfully applied to various non-destructive tests with advantage of the long-range inspection. In this paper, a study on the application of ultrasonic guided waves to the long-range inspection of the pipeline is presented using a long-range guided wave inspection system, Wavemaker SE16, GUL. The characteristics and setup of the long-range guided wave inspection system and experimental results in pipes of with various diameter are introduced. The experimental results in mock-up pipes with cluster type detects show that the minimum detectable wall thickness reduction with this guided wave system is $2\~3\%$ in the pipe cross section area. And the wall thickness reduction of $5\%$ in cross section area can be detected when actual detection level is used. Therefore, the applicability of the guided wave systeme to long-range inspection of wall thickness reduction in pipes is verified.

The measurement of velocity and stain rate field has been conducted in opposed impinging jet combustion. When a smaller diameter (5mm) orifice of pre-chamber was used, previous studies had reported that the combustion phase showed a shift from weak turbulent combustion to moderate turbulent combustion in the modified Borghi Diagram. In the case with smaller orifice diameter (5mm), NOx emission was substantially reduced by a factor 1/2 while the combustion pressure remains at the same as that in the conventional combustion. Hence, in this study, the experiment setup using PIV technique was designed to identify the relation of the strain rate distribution and NOx reduction associated with moderate turbulent combustion. As a result, it was found that the highly strained pockets are widely distributed during the combustion in the middle of chamber when the orifice diameter is 5mm. And the corresponding PDF distribution of strain rates she was the smoothly distributed strain .ate within the range of ｜$\pm$1000｜ (1/sec) rather than a spike shape about zero point. This is the unique feature observed in the combustion with 5mm orifice diameter. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substantial NOx reduction in opposed impinging combustor is mainly attributed to the strain rate distribution within the range of ｜$\pm$1000｜resulting in the combustion phase shift to moderate turbulent combustion.

Hot forging industry workers are prone to encounter several health risks due to lack of automation and poor working environment conditions. These workers particularly suffer from muscle fatigue owing to the constant handling of heavy products during the forging process. Thus we developed an assistant robot for workers who carry out hot forging tasks. The purpose of a robot is to compensate gravity-loads for heavy products. To verify the functionality of a robot, we performed a muscle fatigue analysis using Electromyography (EMG) signals. Four muscles of the upper extremity were chosen to measure muscle activity. And experiment conditions were setup to imitate the hot forging process. Post experimental analysis of the captured muscle activity revealed a reduction in the median frequency of the EMG signals, which means clear fatigue reduction due to a robot's assistance. The developed assist robot with compact and economical components can be efficiently utilized at forging work sites to create better working conditions for operators.

Automotive pulleys play a key role in driving the cooling pump, oil pump, air-conditioner and so on by using an engine power. Researches on design processes and technologies of the pulleys can be found in many literatures. On the other hand, the areas related to manufacturing processes of the pulleys have been treated negligently. Vast data extracted from various information systems are transformed, integrated, and summarized to become a special database for helping users make a decision. The database, namely the data warehouse has been popularly used in the marketing and customer management of enterprises and recently applied to improve the design and manufacturing processes. In this study the manufacturing process of pulleys were analyzed through the intensive investigation of shop-floors and the interviews with workers and managers. The defects generated during a manufacturing process were categorized in a few types and the causes of defects examined for extracting the dominant parameters in the setup process for producing pulleys. As the first step to construct the data warehouse for the manufacturing processes of pulleys, authors proposed its architecture focused on the reduction of defect rate during the setup process.
