The objective of this study is to develop an optimal joint cost from the perspectives of both the manufacturer and the retailer. The integrated production-inventory model with Weibull distribution deteriorating items is assumed to have a constant demand rate. A limited retailer storage space and multiple delivery per order are considered in this model. A numerical example including the sensitivity analysis is given to validate the results of the production-inventory model.

It has been a major issue to repair the broken system quickly for improvement of productivity and utilization. Generally, high utilization of system requires the high amount of spare parts in inventory and inventory cost. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the proper amount of inventory with regard to utilization of system. This study designs a methodology for determining the proper amount of inventory level in a two-echelon spare parts distribution system. The requirements are to satisfy proper customer demands at a distribution center and to maintain over the utilization of the whole system at customers. This methodology minimizes total inventory investment at a distribution center and customers.

Until now, the traditional production models and logistics have developed a broader strategic approach called supply chain. However, there are some obstacles to apply industry practice because of unrealistic assumptions. The most serious of them is that they assume the lead times are integer multiples of the planning time grid. This assumption makes it difficult to express the processing and transportation lags correctly. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new methodology for the integrated production/distribution model having non-integer time lags using the concept of dynamic production function. In case that the time lags are integer or non-integer, the dynamic production function reflects well the situation under given environments. Experiments show that the proposed model can express the real system more accurately than the prior model can.

This study proposes an optimization model to plan the patient distribution and medical resource allocation considering the diverse characteristics of disaster. For reflecting the particularity of disaster response, we configured a few scenarios such as availability of emergency surgery of non-major medical staff and the change in number of patients estimated reflecting the uncertainty, urgency and convergence of disaster. And we finally tested the effects of the scenarios' combination on the objective function defined as maximum number of survival patients. Our experimental results are expected to highlight the significance of the proposed model as well as the applicability of scenarios under disaster response.

This paper deals with ordering policies for a multi-echelon distribution system. The system we are concerned consists of one Central Distribution Center(CDC) and N nonidentical Regional Distribution Centers(RDCs) which have different demand rates, minimum filtrates, leadtimes, etc. We develop an algorithm for determining the optimal ordering policies of the CDC and the RDCs under the constraints of minimum filtrates of RDCs and maximum allowable delay of CDC.

A size-biased Poisson distribution is defined. Its characterization by using a recurrence relation for first order negative moment of the distribution is obtained. Different estimation methods for the parameter of the model are also discussed. R-Software has been used for making a comparison among the three different estimation methods.

In this paper Bayes estimator of the parameter and reliability function of the zero-truncated Poisson distribution are obtained. Furthermore, recurrence relations for the estimator of the parameter are also derived. Monte Carlo simulation technique has been made for comparing the Bayes estimator and reliability function with the corresponding maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of zero-truncated Poisson distribution.

This paper presents a new method for load distribution in a single-level tree network equipped with front-end processors. This method focuses on effective data distribution over a number of processors minimize job processing time. Optimal multiple installment load distribution algorithm is presented. Minimum number of processors that maximizes efficiency is decided theoretically.

One of the most performed action in daily life is standing up from sitting position. As the population of the world is aging at the high rates, people may face problems with reduced muscle strength as well as psychological changes. This can lead elderly people having difficulties with standing up from chair. Now, with the aging trend worldwide, products are being developed that can support the lives of the elderly. This study examines the distribution of hip pressure in relation to the seating positions of the standing assistance seats under development to prevent standing up accidents in older adults. The currently developing standing assistant chair designed to tilt to a maximum angle of 25 degrees. At over $25^{\circ}$, design considers that older people are at risk of thrown back out of that force and that the forces exerted on their arms and legs can be a significant burden to older people. By considering danger of higher than $25^{\circ}$ for older people which is experimented in the basis of static capturing approach in previous papers, it is experimented people with age group of 20~60 on $0^{\circ}$ to $25^{\circ}$ tilting angle on the basis of dynamic capturing method in order to pick convenient angle of inclination. Moreover, tried to find the optimum angle by comparing the hip pressure distribution when seated at the edge of the seat and at the center of the seat with the pressure distribution sensor.

This paper presents a proof that b(r;n, ppd) is the appropriate distribution of the number of observed defects when inspector errors are present. And the effect of inspector errors on the probability of type 1 and type 2 errors is discussed.
