LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is widely used electronic product. It needs too many processes such as PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Vapor Deposition), Sputtering, Photo-lithography, Dry etch. Each process is important but inspection process is more important because most companies emphasis on the six sigma. Recently, LCD inspection system is composed with inlet, inspector, outlet air pads. LCD is inspected on air pad which is shooting air from air hole. This paper studies on pad design of air bearing for LCD inspection to minimize LCD fluctuation. This design is able to reduce fluctuation and then satisfies CCD inspectional range. Also inspection pad needs to adequate stable area.

Data Technology (DT) is a new technology which deals with data collection, data analysis, information generation from data, knowledge generation from modelling and future prediction. DT is a newly emerged interdisciplinary science & technology in this 21st century knowledge society. Even though the main body of DT is applied statistics, it also contains management information system (MIS), quality management, process system analysis and so on. Therefore, it is an interdisciplinary science and technology of statistics, management science, industrial engineering, computer science and social science. In this paper, first of all, the definition of DT is given, and then the effects and the basic properties of DT, the differences between IT and DT, the 6 step process for DT application, and a DT example are provided. Finally, the relationship among DT, e-Statistics and Data Mining is explained, and the direction of DT development is proposed.

Increasing safety requirements of automobile are asking companies to find out solutions, based on the ISO 26262 which is a functional safety standard. ISO 26262 is an adaptation of the IEC 61508 for automotive electric/electronic systems. ISO 26262 provides a V model for ECU (Electronic Control Unit) development process to secure safety against vehicle. It well describes the requirements, necessary works and their resulting products for each development phase. However, it is difficult to apply to product development for achieving functional safety in the electric/electronic systems of an automobile because it lacks explanation on the working steps to follow and the methodologies and tools to be used in each step. In this paper, we introduce the outline of the ISO 26262 product development process and present a DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) road-map based on the ISO 26262 product development process as a way to operate efficiently the ISO 26262 product development process. The DFSS road-map consists of five phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify. The detailed activities, tools, inputs, and work products are given for each phase.

The smelting and the continuous casting of steel are important processes that determine the quality of steel products. Especially most of quality defects occur during solidification of the steel continuous casting process. Although quality control techniques such as six sigma, SQC, and TQM can be applied to the continuous casting process for improving quality of steel products, these techniques don't provide real-time analysis to identify the causes of defect occurrence. To solve problems, we have developed a detection model using decision tree which identified abnormal transactions to have a coarse grain structure. And we have compared the proposed model with models using neural network and logistic regression. Experiments on steel data showed that the performance of the proposed model was higher than those of neural network model and logistic regression model. Thus, we expect that the suggested model will be helpful to control the quality of steel products in real-time in the continuous casting process.

In this study, we applied microcellular foaming injection molding process to improve the performance of system air-conditioner drain fan which had been produced by injection molding process and studied the optimization of process conditions through 6-sigma process and response surface method (RSM) to reduce weight and deformation of products. Additive type, melt temperature, mold temperature, and injection screw shape were selected as the factor affecting the weight and deformation of the products by carrying out analysis of trivial many through ANOVA and design of experiment (DOE) method. Among the effect factor, we set the addictive type to Long G/F and screw shape to foaming screw which had the highest level of weight reduction and deformation reduction. The amount of foaming agent gas was set at 60 ml, which was the limit beyond which the weight of product did not decrease any more. For melt temperature and mold temperature, we studied the conditions where both weight and deformation were minimized using the RSM. As a result, we set the melt temperature to $250^{\circ}C$, fixed mold temperature to $20^{\circ}C$, and moving mold temperature to $40^{\circ}C$. The improvement effect was analyzed by appling the selected optimal conditions to the production process using the microcellular foaming injection molding. The results showed that the mean weight of product was measured to be 1,420g which was 19% lower than that measured in the current process. The standard deviations of the weights were found to be similar to those in the current process and it showed a low dispersion. The mean deformation was measured to be 0.9237mm, which represented a 57% reduction compared to the mean deformation in the current process, and the standard deviation decreased from 0.3298mm to 0.1398mm. Moreover, we analyzed the process capability for deformation, and the results showed that the short-term process capability increased from 2.73 to 6.60 which was even higher than targeted level of 6.0.

Due to the shape of spindle with small diameter and heavy section, rapid cooling is difficult. It is difficult to fabricate the tapered wheel bearings with fine microstructure. Thus, their mechanical characteristics, such as yield strength and fatigue resistance, decrease. Producing the tapered wheel bearings with good workability during orbital forming after hot forging, hot forging process with several process parameters was optimized by means of statistical technique of Six-Sigma scheme. As a result, the lower heating temperature is, the lower the hardness and yield strength of forgings are. Also, the faster conveyer velocity is, the lower the hardness and yield strength of forgings are. To avoid therefore occurrence of the surface rupture during orbital forming, the heating temperature should be controlled as low as possible and the conveyer velocity should be controlled as fast as possible.

A nation have the regulation for a vehicle safety and interested in the side impact of a vehicle. But we spend a lot of money and time for the side impact test. So we must design a vehicle parts regard to the side impact test. This paper describes a new test method for side impact test. We used DFSS(Design For Six Sigma) process for design of door trim armrest. We searched the door trim armrest control factor and made the experiment plan. We researched the optimal design factor and improved the abdomen injury value of the human dummy.

In pursuit of decreasing noise and vibration, the electromagnetic active control mount(ACM) is developed which is corresponding with the tendency of greater fuel efficiency, higher engine power and lower lightweight vehicle. In process of developing the ACM, making patent searches and benchmarking are performed first, and then robust mount design which is reflected on the users' demand through Design For Six Sigma(DFSS) is carried out. The manufactured prototype of ACM is tested in various environmental conditions for the purpose of ensuring the performance quantitatively.
