It has been tested for SW reliability in order to prevent the SW error during the development of weapons systems. According to a recent report, defects such as memory leak, buffer overflow, and null deference occur usually in the development stage, but also in the mass production stage. Although it is intended to enhance the SW test and evaluation to prevent SW failures in the development stage, the non-functional problems like syntax errors are not completely revised due to the limitation of the schedule and costs. In addition, SW failure rate are usually fluctuated by the operational environment through SW upgrade in contrast with HW. In this paper, we propose a method to increase SW reliability in the mass production stage of Korean weapon systems.

Recently, a multi facility, multi product and multi period industrial problem has been widely investigated in Supply Chain Management (SCM). One of the key issues in the current SCM research area involved reducing both production and distribution costs. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum quantity of production and transportation with minimum cost in the supply chain network. We have presented a mathematical model that deals with real world factors and constructs. Considering the complexity of solving such model, we have applied the genetic algorithm approach for solving this model computational experiments using a commercial genetic algorithm based optimizer. The results show that the real size problems we encountered can be solved In reasonable time

Faced with the challenge of reducing costs and improving competitive position, firms have recognized outsourcing as an important information systems (IS) strategic option. It has not been understood clearly what determines IS outsourcing. Based on the IS literature and transaction cost economics, cost efficiency related factors were identified, and a questionnaire survey was conducted. The results based on 181 responses from the bank executives in U.S. revealed that vendor production cost advantage and transaction risk are significant predictors of degree of outsourcing and outsourcing preference for data processing services. Insufficiency of IS funds and information technology uncertainty were found to be not only positively associated with vendor production cost advantage, but also directly associated with outsourcing preference and degree of outsourcing. Firm size is, however, not significantly related to vendor production cost advantge and IS outsourcing.

An overview of developments important in the future of animal breeding is discussed. Examples from the application of quantitative genetic principles to selection in chickens and mice are given. Lessons to be learned from these species are that selection for production traits in livestock must also consider selection for reproduction and other fitness-related traits and inbreeding should be minimized. Short-term selection benefits of best linear unbiased predictor methodology must be weighed against long-term risks of increased rate of inbreeding. Different options have been developed to minimize inbreeding rates while maximizing selection response. Development of molecular genetic methods to search for quantitative trait loci provides the opportunity for incorporating marker-assisted selection and introgression as new tools for increasing efficiency of genetic improvement. Theoretical and computer simulation studies indicate that these methods hold great promise once genotyping costs are reduced to make the technology economically feasible. Cloning and transgenesis are not likely to contribute significantly to genetic improvement of livestock production in the near future.

So far, carbide insert production technology was carried out using a diamond grinding wheel. This production technology has problem that raise production costs and decrease in productivity. The SIDE PRESS method to solve this problem have been developed. In this paper, the machining characteristics of lateral chip breaker turning inserts produced by the SIDE PRESS method was studied. The cutting force and the resulting surface roughness were measured at various cutting conditions. The experimental results indicate that the chip breaker inserts of three-dimensional geometry is the best cutting performance.

This paper reports a novel high-speed fluid injection system employing a simple magnetic micoractuator. This magnetic microacutator consists of current carrying copper beams and permanent magnet under the beams. There were many efforts to magnetic microactuator realization using conducting coils [1-2]. Even though many of magnetic microactuators were successfully fabricated and tested, it is true that most them suffer complex fabrication processes and thus higher production costs than electrostatic counterparts. In this research, efforts were concentrated on the microactuator realization that has simple structure, low production cost, and mass production possibility.

For the airplane manufacturing industry, to decide the sloe of developing airplane is very important because it affect the developing costs, the type of production industry like national independence production or international cooperation production, etc.. And the decision must be made by the base of national aviation industry, status of technology, economic factors and national and international demand, etc. This paper was studied to present a model for the application of AHP to the decision of optimum size of Korean developing airliner. For this study, a questionnaire was developed In respect to the criteria of developing airliner and given to 50 of professors, researchers and experts who participated in this part. The AHP software developed by Korean Advanced Institute of Science Technology (KAIST) was used to analyze the data.

In this paper, we study a joint lot sizing and inspection policy under an EPQ(Economic Production Quantity) model where a random proportion of units are defectives. Those units can be discovered only through costly inspection. The problem is thus bivariate : both lot size and fraction to inspect are to be chosen. We first analyze a model in which the only penalty for uninspected defectives is financial, and then consider a model where defectives units cannot be used and thus must be replaced by non-defective ones. As a result it can be proved that this inspection policy costs economically and is to be decided effectively for the Economic Production Quantity constraining the fraction to inspect.

A case of company manufacturing industrial valves is studied. To survive the fierce competition in the low-volume, high-complexity production environment, the company needs accurate information on the cost of its products. Current cost accounting system which allocates production costs based on the weights of intermediates and final products cannot provide accurate cost information that managers really need. Data on the company's cost structure and production processes were reviewed and managers were interviewed before problems with the current costing system were identified. Activity-based costing (ABC) system as well as an improved traditional costing system is considered to replace the current system. A prototype of ABC system is developed to better represent the relationships among the cost drivers, activities, and products.

Many manufacturing industries need more efficient organization since the customer expects a greater response to orders Due to this increased expectation, a supply chain management (SCM) has become one of the most important methods of competitive advantage in business today. This study has developed a simulator for the supply chain management problem. The simulator designed to help determine considering to the capacities and the costs of production and distribution facilities. The simulator developed using commercial simulation tool ARENA and the results of computational experiments for a simple example were given and discussed to validate the developed simulator. The simulator can be used to decide an realistic production-distribution planning in the area.
