In today's competitive environment, supply chain management is a major concern for a company. Two of the key issues in supply chain management are transportation and inventory management. To achieve significant savings, companies should integrate these two issues instead of treating them separately. In this paper we develop a framework for modeling stochastic programming in a supply chain that is subject to demand uncertainty. With reasonable assumptions, two stochastic programming models are presented, respectively, including a single-period and a multi-period situations. Our assumptions allow us to capture the stochastic nature of the problem and translate it into a deterministic model. And then, based on the genetic algorithm and stochastic simulation, a solution method is developed to solve the model. Finally, the computational results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model and algorithm.

Since improper management practices of solid medical waste (SMW) could potentially result in serious health risks and environmental problems, it is very important to properly treat and dispose of the medical wastes. In this study, current practices of SMW management from storage to final disposal stage in 12 health care facilities (HCFs) of Burundi were investigated using the official government reports. The results showed that 75% and 92% of HCFs used uncovered wheelbarrows and trucks for on-site or off-site SMW transportation, respectively, indicating that most transportation equipment and waste workers are not safely protected. The results also showed that 92.8% of SMW (15,736.4 ton) from all 12 HCFs were inappropriately disposed of through uncontrolled land disposal and incineration. If pharmaceutical wastes and discarded medical plastics (29.5% of SMW) can be separated and treated properly, the treatment costs can be reduced and resource savings can be achieved. Raising awareness of healthcare workers and general public about potential health effects arising from improper SMW management, sufficient financial and human resources for the treatment facilities (especially incinerators), and effective regulations and guidelines for transportation and treatment of SWM are some of the major tasks for safe and sustainable medical waste management in Burundi.

본 연구에서는 시내버스 준공영제 제도 아래에서 효율적인 시내버스 노선 운영 개선 방안을 도모하기 위해 버스 노선의 유형별 적정 서비스 제공 수준을 결정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 시내버스 준공영제 특성을 반영하는 공공성 개념을 도입하고, 수익성과 잠재성을 동시에 고려하여 시내버스의 노선 유형을 분류하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 같은 노선 유형 분류 방법을 활용하여 부산에서 실제 운행되고 있는 시내버스 113개 노선을 8개 유형으로 분류하였고, 노선연장, 운행횟수, 도심통과 유무 등 9개의 노선별 운행특성을 고려하여 유형별 시내버스 노선 운영 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 버스 노선의 운영 개선 방안을 도출함에 있어, 9개의 노선별 운행특성자료를 주성분 분석으로 3가지 운행특성 자료로 축약하여 비교 검토함으로써 유형별 시내버스 노선의 운영 개선 방안을 보다 효과적으로 도출할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was aimed to describe Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and analyze the flight nurses' activities in HEMS. Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from the air transportation reports that contained data of 168 patients transported by aircraft to G University medical center in Incheon since June, 2012 to March, 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Average distance of flights was 44.0 km, duration of field treatment took 13.6 minutes, and duration of a flight from scene to hospital was 14.5 minutes. Nursing activities were categorized into 12 direct nursing activities and 5 nursing management activities, and a total number of 7806 nursing activities were occurred in HEMS. The most frequently performed nursing activity was measurement and monitoring (27.9%) followed by medication (11.5%) and respiratory management (8.7%). The most frequent nursing management were information management (11.0%). Nursing activities performed were significantly different depending on the patient's level of consciousness, cause of illness, crew configuration, and type of transportation. Conclusion: This study described HEMS nursing activities performed by flight nurses. Difference in nursing activities according to patient characteristics, crew configuration and type of transportation requires flight nurses to be prepared through educational programs to improve nursing activities and nursing management during air transportation.

유비쿼터스 교통환경이 구현되면 기존 ITS 환경에서는 불가능하였던, 개별차량 위치, 속도 등 미세한 데이터 수집이 가능해 지며, V2V(Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I(Vehicle-to-Infra) 양방통신이 가능해 짐에 따라 개별차량 혹은 차량군 단위의 미세 제어가 가능해 진다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 교통 환경의 장점에 입각하여 교통류 안정성을 지표로 하는 연속류 정체예방관리 방안이 선행연구에서 제시된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 정체예방관리를 실현함에 있어 제기된 쟁점사항들에 대하여, VISSIM 시뮬레이션 실험결과에 입각하여 해답을 제시하였다. 교통류 안정성을 명시적으로 교통류 관리에 적용할 수 있도록, 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 수집 가능한 차량군 길이와 간격으로 도출하였다. 또한 교통상황에 따라 차별화된 운영관리가 필요하다는 타당성을 도출하고, 교통상황 구분 및 상황별 운영관리 방안을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 이러한 관리를 수행하였을 때 어떠한 잠재적 이익이 있는가를 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과는, 제반 제약조건으로 말미암아 제한적인 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 도출되었다. 그러나 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 새로운 개념의 교통관리를 시행하는 데 있어 그 타당성은 보여줄 수 있었다고 판단된다. 향후 보다 포괄적인 현장실험을 통해 제반 결과들이 확정되어야 할 것이다.

This paper considers a transporter scheduling problem under dynamic block transportation environment in shipbuilding. In dynamic situations, there exist the addition, cancellation or change of block transportation requirements, sudden breakdowns and maintenance of transporters. The transportation of the blocks in the shipyard has some distinct characteristics. Some blocks are available to be picked up at a specific time during the planning horizon while some other blocks need to be delivered before a specific time. These requirements cause two penalty times: 1) delay times incurred when a block is picked up after a required start time, and 2) tardy times incurred when a block shipment is completed after the required delivery time. The blocks are located at different areas in the shipyard and transported by transporters. The objective of this paper is to propose a heuristic algorithm based on a network flow model which minimize the weighted sum of empty transporter travel times, delay times, and tardy times. Also, a rolling-horizon scheduling method is proposed for dynamic block transportation environment. The performance of the proposed heuristic algorithms are evaluated through a simulation experiment.

This study is for detecting the Braess Paradox by stable dynamics in general transportation networks. Stable dynamics, suggested by Nesterov and de Palma[18], is a new model which describes and provides a stable state of congestion in urban transportation networks. In comparison with user equilibrium model based on link latency function in analyzing transportation networks, stable dynamics requires few parameters and is coincident with intuitions and observations on the congestion. Therefore it is expected to be an useful analysis tool for transportation planners. The phenomenon that increasing capacity of a network, for example creating new links, may decrease its performance is called Braess Paradox. It has been studied intensively under user equilibrium model with link latency function since Braess[5] demonstrated a paradoxical example. However it is an open problem to detect the Braess Paradox under stable dynamics. In this study, we suggest a method to detect the Paradox in general networks under stable dynamics. In our model, we decide whether Braess Paradox will occur in a given network. We also find Braess links or Braess crosses if a network permits the paradox. We also show an example how to apply it in a network.
