Information of freight tracking and tracing is one of core elements in logistics point of view. We can monitor the vehicle or vessel where freights are loaded and get the in-transit data via GPS. However, security problem exists after the shipments are un

Recently, automobile industry expands from mechatronics area through intelligent information area, and the telematics technology is one of the greatest developing points. The telematics is utilizing the on-board-unit of vehicle's communication system, and

The competitiveness of the manufacturing company is evaluated in terms of line productivity, quality cost, inventory level, logistics efficiency, and so on. The productivity is defined by the number of products divided by the number of workers within the given operation time. Increasing the productivity is not easy to man-operated situation in the line, since it heavily depends on the standard time of the workers. This paper deals with the productivity of the Back Light Unit assembler for TFT-LCD, and proposes the methodology of investigating the optimal process by simulation of Arena.

  Exact solutions for practical-size problems in job shop will be highly inefficient. Scheduling heuristics, therefore, are typically found in the literature. If we consider real-life situations such as machine breakdowns, the existing scheduling methods

Maintaining superior productivity and quality in LCD requires enhancing competitiveness of partners or suppliers, such as PBA, BLU, or Mold Frame. BLU is one of the most important parts in LCD, however manufacturing environment is tedious and labor intensive. In this paper, we propose simulation modeling for BLU production process. We also investigate optimal process in terms of line balancing and conveyor characteristics.

Recently, in order to stay at predominance in the global infinity competition, most of companies have been reducing the cost in many fields of industry. First of all, the reduction of the logistics cost have been recognized greatly as the company value ri

Among many logistics technologies, primary area should be investigated in terms of long term periods. Therefore private company and public sector can visualize approaches to their corresponding industry. In this paper, we introduce vision and roadmap for
