과수농가에서 수행되는 수확작업은 노동부하가 큰 주요작업으로 수확된 과실의 적재 및 운반작업에 소모되는 노동력이 크다. 본 연구에서는 과수농가를 대상으로 수확된 열매의 적재 및 운반작업에 사용 가능한 간이형 보행 동력운반차를 개발하였다. 과수 농민들의 요구조건을 고려하여 동력운반차의 이동속도 및 적재 용량을 선정하였다. 이에 따라, 동력운반차의 주요 구성요소를 선정하고 동력전달경로를 분석하였다. 또한, 개발된 동력운반차의 성능시험을 수행하였으며 상용 소프트웨어를 활용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 설계된 간이형 보행 동력운반차는 전·후진이 가능하고 이동속도는 최대 1 m/s이며, 최대적재용량은 500 kg이다. 본 연구에서 개발된 간이형 보행 동력운반차를 활용하면 농민들의 작업효율을 높이고 신체적인 부담을 경감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Shopping cart abandonment of the online shopping process is a major challenge for firms. It describes the phenomenon that a potential customer starts a check out process for an online order but drops out of the process before completing the purchase. On average, 650 out of 1,000 customers do not convert (Baymard Institute 2017), which highlights the managerial relevance and impact of this phenomenon for online firms. Since shopping cart abandonment directly affects an online firm’s sales and revenue, researchers and practitioners likewise are interested in understanding why people leave a website without completing the shopping process and, more importantly, how to reduce online shopping cart abandonment. However, to date, research on these questions is scarce (e.g., Kukar-Kinney and Close 2010) and firms lack guidance how to deal with online shopping cart abandonment. The goal of this study is to investigate effective countermeasures that firms can use to reduce and prevent the likelihood of abandonment and thereby to increase the likelihood of a conversion. We conducted a field experiment in cooperation with a German accessories online retailer over three weeks (n = 8,467 shopping carts) and tested the effectiveness of a reminder pop-up window with a 10% discount vs. a reminder pop-up window without a discount vs. a control group. All online store visitors within the period were randomly assigned to one of three groups once they have put an item in the shopping cart. The pop-up windows appeared once they were about to click on the exit button. Our results indicate that a reminder pop-up window with a 10% discount significantly increases the conversion rate on the website compared to the control group, leading to an increase in revenue of approximately € 5,000. In contrast, a reminder pop up window a discount does not seem to reduce shopping cart abandonment. Further, we will investigate how this campaign affects the retailer’s overall profitability. In addition, using a laboratory experiment (n = 1,041) we replicated and extended our insights on effective countermeasures for shopping cart abandonment. People seem to be more likely to convert when there is a guest checkout option available. In sum, our research has important implications for researchers and online firms how to deal with online shopping cart abandonment.

In this study, the lower power consumption FET-DC contactor for golf cart and low speed electric vehicle has been designed and developed. Also, the author carrying out many measurements and tests such as an electric power consumption, current consumption, calorific value, size, volume and weight of the DC contactor for the various cases. As a result, the author found that a prototype of the lower power consumption FET-DC contactor can not only reduce calorific value, size, volume and weight but also improve an electric power and current consumption.

Among various manual materials handling tasks, pushing/pulling was known to be one of the risk factors for the low back and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study was conducted to find out an optimal solution set of the handle height and distance for 4-wheel cart with two vertical handles. Ten male college students participated in the pushing force measurement experiment. The face-centered cube design, one of the central composite designs, was applied for the experiment, and the isometric voluntary pushing force was measured in 9 treatment conditions. The second order response surface model was predicted by using the pushing strength as a response variable, and the handle height and distance as independent factors. According to the 2nd order response model, the handle height and distance showed nonlinear relationship with the isometric pushing strength. To maximize the 2nd order response model (pushing force), the handle height and distance were optimized. The optimal handle height was 'xyphoid process height - stature’, and the optimal handle distance was ‘1.25*shoulder width’. When calculated using the anthropometric data of the subjects of this study, the optimal handle height was 115.4 ± 3.4 cm, slightly higher than the elbow height, and the handle distance was 52.9 ± 2.3 cm.

본 연구는 도로기하구조 요인과 교통사고간의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 CART분석을 이용하여 전국의 4차로 국도를 대상으로 교통사고예측모형을 개발하고, 다중회귀모형, 확률회귀모형과 CART분석모형을 비교 분석하여 개발한 모형의 적합도를 검증하였다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 변수간의 복합적인 상호관계를 설명할 수 있는 CART분석을 이용하여 국도의 교통사고 예측모형을 개발하고 도로기하구조 요인에 따라 표준교통사고율을 의미하는 교통사고발생도표를 제시하였다. 둘째, CART분석모형에 근거하여 교통사고 발생률에 큰 영향을 미치는 도로기하구조 요인이 구간거리(km), 횡단보도폭(m), 횡단길어깨(m), 교통량 순으로 나타났다. 셋째, CART분석모형의 적합도 검증결과, CART분석모형이 실제교통사고율을 타 모형에 비해 전반적으로 잘 묘사하고 있었으나, 각 모형별로 교통사고율의 크기에 따라 교통사고율이 비교적 낮은 구간에서는 다중회귀모형이, 평균이상의 교통사고율을 나타내는 구간에서는 포아송 회귀모형의 예측력이 높았으며, CART분석모형은 교통사고율의 크기와 상관없이 우수한 예측력을 보였다. 넷째, 도출된 교통사고발생도표는 도로기하구조 조건에 따른 표준교통사고율을 제시해주기 때문에 도로설계 시에 안전한 기하구조 설계요소 선정기준을 제시 할 뿐만 아니라, 교통사고 잦은 지점개선사업추진 시 사업의 우선순위를 판단할 수 있는 기준을 제시하는 등 정책적 활용도가 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

A study is for the approach that we could reduce the logistics costs through uprising the efficiency, complying to the demand in time, stock management based on the general production plan in the point of SCM. We will take following steps to get the goal. First, we will overview the physical distribution expenses annually. Second, will find the main cause of optimal load loss by improper container and lack of delivery flexibility to the demand. Third, the goal will be inferred through the fast information share based on organic relationship, the establishment of general production plan, the improvement of stock management plan. By way of this process, it can be accomplished expense reduction as well as flexible establishment of the reduction of worker's load.

레일마모는 열차의 주행안전 및 승차감에 미치는 영향이 크고, 소음․진동의 주요원인으로 작용한 다. 또한 레일마모가 발생할 경우 궤도구조의 파괴를 촉진시킴으로써 차량 및 궤도유지보수비를 크게 증가시킨다. 따라서 구간 특성 및 환경 영향 인자 등 현장에서 발생하는 마모 원인을 체계적으로 분석함으로써 마모를 저감할 수 있도록 차량운행 조건과 선로선형 및 궤도구조를 설계하는 것은 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구는 궤도의 성능 지표 선정을 위해 레일 마모 검측데이터간의 상관관계 분석을 수행하였으며, 마모 검측 데이터와 마모에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되는 주요 구간 특성 및 환경 영향인자를 바탕으로 CART(Classification Analysis of Regression Tree) 분석을 수행하였다..
