The manufacturing companies under Make-To-Order (MTO) production environment face highly variable requirements of the customers. It makes them difficult to establish preemptive production strategy through inventory management and demand forecasting. Therefore, the ability to establish an optimal production schedule that incorporates the various requirements of the customers is emphasized as the key success factor. In this study, we suggest a process of designing the simulation model for establishing production schedule and apply this model to the case of a flat glass processing company. The flat glass manufacturing industry is under MTO production environment. Academic research of flat glass industry is focused on minimizing the waste in the cutting process. In addition, in the practical view, the flat glass manufacturing companies tend to establish the production schedule based on the intuition of production manager and it results in failure of meeting the due date. Based on these findings, the case study aims to present the process of drawing up a production schedule through simulation modeling. The actual data of Korean flat glass processing company were used to make a monthly production schedule. To do this, five scenarios based on dispatching rules are considered and each scenario is evaluated by three key performance indicators for delivery compliance. We used B2MML (Business To Manufacturing Markup Language) schema for integrating manufacturing systems and simulations are carried out by using SIMIO simulation software. The results provide the basis for determining a suitable production schedule from the production manager's perspective.

오래된 구조물의 내부 결함은 그 구조물의 안전에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 안전에 문제가 생기기 전에 미리 검사를 진행하고 발견하는 것이 중요하다. 가장 쉽고 효율적인 방법은 육안으로 구조물을 진단하는 것이나, 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(PSC) 교량과 같은 구조물에서 부식이나 공극 같은 결함들은 피복으로 감싸져 있어 육안으로는 확인이 불가하다. 따라서 내부 결함도 진단할 수 있는 비파괴검사방법을 이용하여 진단해야 한다. 본 연구에서 사용되는 기술은 전력용 케이블을 진단할 때 주로 사용되는 시간 영역의 반사파 계측법과 시간-주파수 영역의 반사파를 적용하여 종단지점에 부착된 측정기계에서 인가한 신호가 이동하는 중 전기적 임피던스 변화에 의해 발생하는 반사파를 분석하는 기술로 측정시간 단축, 검사의 간편성과 같은 측면에서 훨씬 큰 효율성을 가진다. 하지만 토목 구조물은 전력용 케이블과 달리 내부 구조가 복잡하여, 실제 진단을 진행하는데 어려움이 있기에 본 연구에서는 실제 실험과 COMSOL을 이용한 시뮬레이션의 결과를 확인 및 비교하여 시뮬레이션의 정확도와 적용가능성을 확인하였고, 반사파 계측법이 복잡한 구조물을 대상으로도 사용 가능한지 그 가능성 또한 보았다. 또한 더 나아가, 시뮬레이션을 통해 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(PSC) 교량의 덕트 내부에 공극 및 부식과 같은 결함이 생겼을 때, 그 결함들이 반사파에 미치는 영향을 보았다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pre-briefing in simulation-based learning on nursing students’ satisfaction with simulation. Method: A quasi-experimental post-test study was applied with 174 senior nursing students at a private university in South Korea. The experimental group (n=88) underwent a pre-briefing program, whereas the control group (n=86) did not. During pre-briefing, students had time to study simulation scenarios, discuss nursing processes related to simulation scenarios, and experience a simulation environment before simulation practice. Satisfaction scores were measured using the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale(SSE). Results: The mean scores in satisfaction with simulation were higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.23, p<.001). Conclusion: This study emphasizes that pre-briefing in simulation-based learning is important in increasing students’ satisfaction and should be included in the planning of simulation-based learning programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the use of virtual simulations to improve knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, satisfaction and confidence of nursing students. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with 34 nursing students in one university. All the participants were forth grade students and received education on topics related to medical-surgical nursing. The experimental group participated in virtual and high-fidelity simulations. The control group participated in high-fidelity simulation. Collected data were analyzed using Chi-square, t-test and independent t-test using the WIN SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The experimental group who had participated in the virtual simulation education indicated significantly higher performance scores (t=-6.166, p=<.000) and confidence levels (t=-2.284, p=.031) as compared to the control group who had participated in traditional high-fidelity education for acute heart disease patients, However, the differences in knowledge (t=-.808, p=.425), education satisfaction (t=-.425, p=.653), and self-efficacy (t=-1.592, p=.121) were not significant differences. Conclusion: The results indicate that virtual simulation education is an effective learning method to improve nursing performance and confidence. Further study is needed to identify the effects of various clinical situations of virtual simulation-based care.

Mechanical components are to be produced with accurate dimensions in order to function properly in assemblies of a machine. Once designs of mechanical components are created, designers examine the designs by adopting many known experimental methods. A primary test method includes stress and strain evaluation of structural parts. In addition, fatigue test and vibration analysis are an important test method for mechanical components. Real experiments at a laboratory are established when products are manufactured. Since design changes should be done before producing the designs in factories, rapid modifications for new designs are required in production industries. FEM simulation is a proper choice for a design evaluation with speed at a detail stage in design process. This research focuses modeling and mechanical simulation of a mechanical component in order to ensure structural safety. In this paper, a universal joint, being used in driving axels of vehicles, is studied as a target component. A design model is created and tested in some ways by using commercial software of FEM. The designed component is being twisted to transmit heavy power and thus, torsional stress should be under strengths of the component’s material. The next is fatigue analysis to convince fatigue cycles to be within the endurance limit of the material. Another test is a vibration analysis for rotational components. This research draws final conclusions from these test analyses and recommends whether the designed model is under safety condition in terms of mechanical structure.

This study deals with the case study on the pallet quantity determination problem for the flexible manufacturing system producing 32 different types of aircraft wing ribs which are major structures of an aircraft wings. A Korean company has constructed the WFMS (wing rib flexible manufacturing system) that is composed of several automated equipments such as the 5-axis machining centers, the RGV (rail guided vehicles)s, the AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system), the loading/unloading stations, and so on. Pallets play a critical role in the WFMS to maintain high system utilization and continuous work flow between 5-axis machining machines and automated material handling devices. The discrete event simulation method is used to evaluate the performance of the WFMS under various pallet mix alternatives for wing rib manufacturing processes. Four performance measures including system utilization, throughput, lead-time and work in process inventory level are investigated to determine the best pallet mix alternative. The best pallet mix identified by the simulation study is adopted in setting up and operating a real Korean aircraft parts manufacturing shop. By comparing the real WFMS’s performances with those of the simulation study, we discussed the cause of performance difference observed and the necessity of developing the CPS (cyber physical system).

PURPOSES : This study aimed to evaluate the influence of weigh-in-motion (WIM)-based overloading enforcement systems on the performance of a traffic stream. METHODS: A VISSIM simulator was used for the evaluation of various scenarios. Actual WIM event data collected from the field was used for simulation parameter calibrations. A genetic algorithm was incorporated into the calibration procedure to identify the optimal set of parameters. The impact of the overloading enforcement systems on the traffic stream was investigated from the perspective of mobility, safety, and environmental compatibility. RESULTS: The existing enforcement system is generally superior to the new pilot enforcement system. CONCLUSIONS : Policies and regulations to fully exploit the benefits of WIM-based enforcement systems on freeways need to be developed and implemented. In addition, various enforcement scenarios should be tested on both actual and simulated environments.
