  • Aggregate Production Planning determines levels of production, human resources, inventory to maximize company's profits and fulfill customer's demands based on demand forecasts. Since performance of aggregate production planning heavily depends on accuracy of given forecasting demands, choosing an accurate forecasting method should be antecedent for achieving a good aggregate production planning. Generally, typical forecasting error metrics such as MSE (Mean Squared Error), MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation), MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and CFE (Cumulated Forecast Error) are utilized to choose a proper forecasting method for an aggregate production planning. However, these metrics are designed only to measure a difference between real and forecast demands and they are not able to consider any results such as increasing cost or decreasing profit caused by forecasting error. Consequently, the traditional metrics fail to give enough explanation to select a good forecasting method in aggregate production planning. To overcome this limitation of typical metrics for forecasting method this study suggests a new metric, WACFE (Weighted Absolute and Cumulative Forecast Error), to evaluate forecasting methods. Basically, the WACFE is designed to consider not only forecasting errors but also costs which the errors might cause in for Aggregate Production Planning. The WACFE is a product sum of cumulative forecasting error and weight factors for backorder and inventory costs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed metric by conducting intensive experiments with demand data sets from M3-competition. Finally, we showed that the WACFE provides a higher correlation with the total cost than other metrics and, consequently, is a better performance in selection of forecasting methods for aggregate production planning.

  • As the supply and demand of natural aggregate becomes more difficult in the domestic construction site continuously, many studies related to the recycled aggregate produced in the construction waste are going on. However, because of the safety and performance of the recycled aggregate, it is not used as aggregate for the structure, and it is mainly used as a nonstructural material. In addition, as the "recycled aggregate quality standard" has been revised in 2017, quality standards for various properties of recycled aggregate have been adjusted, and production technology suitable for recycled aggregate quality standards for concrete is needed. In this study, to improve the quality of recycled aggregate, we applied multistage wind pressure treatment method to the existing recycled aggregate production facility and compared the density, absorption rate, particle size before and after recycled aggregate treatment. As a result, quality criteria in various properties were analyzed satisfactorily.

  • This paper discusses the influence of organic matter contained in aggregate on the emission characteristic of ammonia ($NH_3$) from cement mortar. $NH_3$ can be released to indoor-outdoor environment through diffusion in mortar (or concrete) and have resulted in the increasing air pollution, and especially well known as a harmful gas for the human body. The concentration of $NH_3$ released from cement concrete was then compared to the contents of organic matter contained in the aggregate. The result indicates that the contents of organic matter in the aggregate significantly differ with types of aggregate from different areas of production. The organic matter becomes organic nitrogen through the process of microbial breakdown for a certain period and pure ammonium ion ($NH_4{^+}$) is produced from the organic nitrogen. The $NH_4{^+}$ was reacted with alkaline elements in the cement and released as $NH_3$ from cement concrete through a volatile process. The released $NH_3$ was proportional to the contents of $NH_4{^+}$ adsorbed in the aggregate from different areas of production and the concentrations of $NH_3$ emission from cement mortar according to the aggregate differ by more than 4 times.

  • Given a fixed production process and facility capacity, the ability to respond to market fluctuations in terms of changes in production, work force, and inventory is the major task of production management. The costs involved are primarily payroll (regular and overtime), inventory carrying, and hiring and firing. The magnitude of these costs is usually a significant portion of the operating costs of the firm and consequently a small percentage saving due to astute aggregate scheduling can mean substantial absolute saving. At least three demonstrably optimal techniques have been developed for solving this aggregate scheduling problem. These three optimal are apparently LDR, PPP, and SDR. By combining these three different approaches, another optimal solution was obtained by me. I call this CDR (Combined Decision Rule). This approach appears to be useful. This approach may be generalizable to aggregate scheduling involving a short term resources.

  • This study derived production-production multipliers using a regional input-output table and estimated the induced effect of aggregates through the non-metallic minerals sector and the concrete products sector. In deriving the induced effect of aggregates, it is difficult to use the regional input-output table due to the sector classification problem. This study analyzed the non-metallic mineral sector, including aggregates, as aggregates sector, and the concrete products sector, which uses most of the aggregate production. By analyzing this, we attempted to alleviate difficulties caused by sector classification restrictions. In the process of estimating the induced effect, it was assumed that there was a decrease in aggregate production, and in the process of analyzing the concrete products sector, the effect of the decrease in concrete product production due to the decrease in aggregate production, that is, the decrease in production of one unit of aggregate was 0.8511 in the concrete product sector. The analysis was conducted on the premise of a decrease in unit production. Inducing effects within and between regions were calculated for the 17 metropolitan cities and provinces classified by the regional input-output table. The employment effect was also calculated, assuming a 10% production decrease to show differences according to the size of the aggregate and concrete product sectors in each region.

  • This study investigates the effect of a grading of aggregate on the properties of concrete. It is a common sense in Korea that the production of coarse aggregate in ready mixed concrete industry excludes particular aggregate size ranged from 5 mm to 13 mm for saving the production cost. This causes a gap grading of the aggregate for concrete, which can lead to the increase of unit water, the development of drying shrinkage-induced crack and the reduction of compressive strength. In this study, conventional aggregate obtained from a ready mixed concrete factory and the aggregate with a modified grading produced in lab. condition were prepared. Results showed that a good grading of aggregate (i.e., the ratio of 5~13 mm and 13~25 mm is 6 to 4) produced in the lab. condition significantly improved the slump and the compressive strength of the concrete.

  • The concrete aggregate generates carbon dioxide in production but its demanding is gradually increased in accordance with the depletion of natural resources. Therefore we evaluated compatibility and basic physical properties of Silicon manganese slag generated in iron production as an applicable concrete aggregate. In our test, the silicon maganese slag shows 2.8g/㎥ of density in 10mm of maximum particle size similar to a natural aggregate, and its absorption rate was 0.3% similar to the electric furnace slag. Unit volume weight and ratio of absolute volume was respectively 2,001㎏/㎥ and 51%. Strength properties of Silicon manganese slag will be evaluated with further studies and experiments.
