Objectives: This study estimated the annual socioeconomic costs of food-borne disease in 2008 from a societal perspective and using a cost-of-illness method. Methods: Our model employed a comprehensive set of diagnostic disease codes to define food-borne diseases with using the Korea National Health Insurance (KNHI) reimbursement data. This study classified the food borne illness as three types of symptoms according to the severity of the illness: mild, moderate, severe. In addition to the traditional method of assessing the cost-of-illness, the study included measures to account for the lost quality of life. We estimated the cost of the lost quality of life using quality-adjusted life years and a visual analog scale. The direct cost included medical and medication costs, and the non-medical costs included transportation costs, caregiver's cost and administration costs. The lost productivity costs included lost workdays due to illness and lost earnings due to premature death. Results: The study found the estimated annual socioeconomic costs of food-borne disease in 2008 were 954.9 billion won (735.3 billion won-996.9 billion won). The medical cost was 73.4 -76.8% of the cost, the lost productivity cost was 22.6% and the cost of the lost quality of life was 26.0%. Conclusions: Most of the cost-of-illness studies are known to have underestimated the actual socioeconomic costs of the subjects, and these studies excluded many important social costs, such as the value of pain, suffering and functional disability. The study addressed the uncertainty related to estimating the socioeconomic costs of food-borne disease as well as the updated cost estimates. Our estimates could contribute to develop and evaluate policies for food-borne disease.

It is widely recognized that ISO 9000 certification bring some profits, such as enhancement of quality system and some concerns. Since one of the major concerns is cost for certification, this paper considers the cost for ISO 9000 certification in Japanese companies through review some winning reports and case studies. Specifically, a model that describes the certification activities and their cost is derived through reviewing some winning reports in order to give a framework of cost estimation. Based on the model, we estimate the certification cost in an electric division of a company through an interview survey. Furthermore, we focused on the cost for promotion and administration as a cost for the sake only certification, because these activities will not be needed if a company does not implement ISO certification. It is concluded that this cost may vary approximately 300,000-700,000 (US$) per certification by the interview and telephone surveys to Japanese steel companies.

Wu and Clements-Croome (2005) investigate the optimization problem of PM policies for situations where the quality of PM is a random variable with a certain probability distribution. However, they assume that the cost of preventive maintenance is constant, not depending on the quality of PM. Thus, this paper considers a periodic PM model when PM cost depends on the quality of PM activity. The optimal PM policy are presented for the extended PM model and the numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

At present, company has to produce a product that consumer like with a competitive price, a good quality, and a fitting time to supply. Process control and qualify control are very important to supply with a product uniformly and inexpensively In this paper, the characteristic of product quality is monitored by control chart during the machining process and construction of quality control cycle is considered to divide into two types in this case that different assignable causes lead to shifts having different magnitudes. Then we are intended to find a process shift magnitude which has economical quality cost policy and are considered to quality cost functions to find a process shift magnitude. Those costs are categorized into the well-known categories of prevention, appraisal, and internal failure and external failure. This paper ends with numerical examples that demonstrate the usefulness of the model.

A manufacturing/remanufacturing system is investigated with the consideration of required minimum quality of end-of-used products. A constant demand is satisfied by remanufacturing end-of-used products and manufacturing raw materials outsourced from outside. It is assumed in this system that the buyback price and remanufacturing cost are related to the different quality level of end-of-used products. For remanufacturing, only the used products that satisfy a required minimum quality level will be recycled. Thus, the returning rate is a function of the required minimum quality level. Functions of returning rate, buyback price and remanufacturing cost, which are closely connected to the quality level of end-of-used products, are investigated here. Treating the required minimum quality level of end-of-used products, the length of a cycle, the number of manufacturing lots and remanufacturing lots in a cycle as decision variables, the mathematical models with the objective of minimizing the average total cost are constructed. Through construction of a solution process based on Tabu Search algorithm and calculating examples, the validity of the models is illustrated.

As interests in the quality of data in database systems are growing recently, analysis and improvement of data quality in databases have been an important issue. However, there has yet to be a clear agreement on how to reasonably calculate the total cost of such project. In this paper, based on real project data and budget statistics, we develop a model to estimate the cost for quality analysis and improvement project of a database. We first conduct statistical analysis to build our basic model. Throughout this analysis, we have identified factors that determine the scale of works required to conduct the project and eventually determine the cost. In addition, we have identified factors that determine the complexity of the project. These factors can adjusts the cost determined by the scale of works. Our model is verified and improved by surveys on experts. We apply our model to newly conducted projects and observe that our model estimates the cost of each project reasonably well.

This research identifies the relation between the quality of cabin service(personnel and material services) in Korean low-cost airlines and resulting customer satisfaction and loyalty. Its aim is to provide low-cost airlines' international flights with basic information when building strategies, and to suggest a strategic implication for an original and competitive cabin service policy that can enhance customer retention. As a result of the analysis, first, hypothesis 1 on relation between the quality of Korean low-cost airlines' cabin service and customer satisfaction was all valid. Moreover, it was coherent with the results of previous researches. Second, hypothesis 2 on relation between the quality of Korean low-cost airlines' cabin service and customer satisfaction was also valid and coherent with previous studies. Third, hypothesis 3 on relation between customer satisfaction and loyalty was valid and coherent with existing studies. Consequently, this research suggests that in order to achieve the continuous retention of loyal customers through customer satisfaction, the quality of personnel and material service has to be considered primarily. In addition to that, this research also suggests that the original and competitive service marketing of low-cost airline is necessary for an airline to continue its profit-making.

1997년 건설교통부는 건설기술관리법 개정을 통해 국내 품질관리체계를 정립하였다. 개정된 법제도하에서는 발주자가 건설공사비에 품질관리비용을 계상하여야 한다. 그러나 국내 법제도 및 관련규정들 간에 품질관리원의 역할 책임 등에 다소 차이가 있어 비용계상의 대상업무 범위가 불분명한 실정이며, 이로 인하여 규정된 업무를 수행하기 위한 비용 계상에도 어려움이 있다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 국내법에서 요구하고 있는 품질관리원의 역할을 해석하고, 이러한 해석을 바탕으로 품질관리비 산출기준(안)을 제시하였다.
