Personnel engaged in the medical field have implemented continual improvement by team activities in an effort to construct a system that reduces the risks involved in medical care. Knowledge in total quality management (TQM), especially statistical quality control (SQC) developed for industry, seems to be applicable to medical care. This paper describes the application of SQC to continual improvement in medical care.

The paper aims to apply a model of continuous quality improvement (CQI) to Taiwan provincial Pin Ton hospital. Tools of quality control were used both total quality management (TQM) and quality control circle (QCC) in order to approach the objective of ${\ulcorner}$higher quality, higher efficiency, lower cost${\lrcorner}$. During two years, this hospital has organized thirteen QC circles that were classified three categories according to that objective: four circles work for higher quality; the other four circles work for higher efficiency; five circles for lower cost. After implementation, several results were found from two viewpoints. From viewpoint of tangibility, one of the most outcomes is to reduce labor cost from 56 persons to 28 persons of temporary employees. From viewpoint of intangibility, the result was evaluated using radar chart to compare the difference after improvement. This paper is going to report the process of CQI for the hospital management because it is a new issue in Taiwan since 1997

This paper describes the methodology of an IEC 1131-3-based control logic generator for the control system design and converting algorithm between programmable languages. The proposed control logic generator is generated based on the software model and common element with data type, variables, POUs(program organization unit) and execution control unit commonly used within programmable languages of IEC 1131-3 Standard. The generation method of object file was proposed on five programmable language based on IECI 131-3. The generation method of object file is represented as following; 1) the generation method using conversion algorithm from LD to IL with FBD(function block diagram), 2) the generation method using C code generation algorithm from SFC using the SFC execution sequence with FBD and ST(structured text). The proposed control logic generator was implemented by Visual C++ and MFC on MS-windows NT 4.0

In this paper, the harmonic components generated by those two sources are analyzed separately based on the transfer function and shown as the closed form considering the switching frequency, speed of the control processor, gain of the controller, and the inductor and capacitor value of L-C filter. A design procedure is described with one flow chart and explained step by step.

In this study, we propose definitions for the one-sided variance for asymmetric distribution. We consider to apply the one-sided variance to the construction to define modified $C_{pk}$, which is a definition for the process capability index for the asymmetric process distribution. Then we consider to obtain the consistent estimation for the one-sided variance and to apply to the various industrial fields.

우리가 흔히 쓰는 관리도에도 X over bar-R관리도, P(또는 Pn)관리도, C(또는 U)관리도가관리 도의 대종을 이루고 있다. 그러나 기계공업 특히 자동차공업분야에서는 기계가공 부품을 일일이 재기가 어렵거나 시간이 걸리므로 고-노고우 게이지(go-no go gauge)를 써서 선별하는 경우가 많다. 또 금형베품의 조립시에는 측정개소가 많기 때문에 어느 한 부분만을 제어서 관리할 수 없으므로 여러곳을 제어서 관리해야 하는데 이때 금형전체를 어떻게 맞출것인가, 혹은 제품의 공차관리를 어떻게 해나갈 것인가 하는 문제가 생긴다. 다음에 이러한 경우에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있는 관리도의 예를 소개하고자 한다.

The marine diesel engine have been widely applied with a mechanical hydraulic governor to control the ship speed for long time. But it was recently very difficult for the mechanical hydraulic governor to control the speed of engine under the condition of low speed and low load because of jiggling by rough fluctuation of rotating torque and hunting by dead time of diesel engine. In order to analyze the speed control system the transfer function was converted from z to w transformation. The author proposed velocity control system with feedback loop by PID controller in order to stabilize for unstable area. The influence of dead time was discussed by Nichols chart and unit step response curve. It was confirmed through computer simulation that the performance improvement of a mechanical hydraulic governor can be obtained by PID controller.

Vehicle drift was reduced using statistical six sigma tools. The study was performed through four steps: M (measure), A (analyze), I (improve), and C (control). Step M measured the main factors which were derived from a fishbone diagram. The measurement system capabilities were analyzed and improved before measurement. Step A analyzed critical problems by examining the process capability and control chart derived from the measured values. Step I analyzed the influence of the main factors on vehicle drift using DOE (design of experiment) to derive the CTQ (critical to quality). The tire conicity and toe angle difference proved to be CTQ. This information enabled the manufacturing process related with the CTQ to be improved. The respective toe angle tolerance for the adjustment process was obtained using the Monte Carlo simulation. Step C verified and controlled the improved results through hypothesis testing and Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper describes the design and development of drills with deburring inserts. The drills can be used to drill holes and deburr the edges of the drilled holes simultaneously. The drills incorporate deburring inserts within the shank. The insert consists of a fixing base, a cantilever spring and a cutting tip. The stiffness of the cantilever spring and the details of the cutting tip play a central role for the successful deburring performance. The deburring performance is also governed by the conditions of the drilling burr best described by the burr control chart suggested by Dornfeld. With careful burr control, successful deburring is obtained by the drills with deburring inserts.

Extraction conditions, spectrometric, and sensory properties of pigment extracts from green discolored garlic (GDG) were studied for development of green index to evaluate degree of green discoloration of garlic. GDG pigments were extracted using polar solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, and water. Methanol with 1% HCl resulted in highest extraction of green pigments. Extraction of pigments was affected by temperature, and extracted pigments were partially destroyed at high temperatures. Optimum conditions for extraction of green pigments were $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Because green pigments are unstable at room temperature, and no method has been reported to evaluate degree of green discoloration of garlic, color chart was designed by mixing varying amounts of control and GDG. High correlation was observed between sensory scores and "a" value of color chart samples (y=-3.465x - 11.676) with $R^2$ of 0.993. Green index (GI) was developed based on linear regression equation between sensory scores and "a" values. Sensory panel recognized green discoloration of garlic at $GI{\geq}3.0$. GI developed in this study could be utilized to evaluate degree of green discoloration of garlic during cold storage and distribution of garlic.
