Filling of the tool die directly influences dimensional tolerances and density variation. To minimize the variations in filling, both within different sections of the cavity and from part to part, are of great importance for produce high quality P/M parts. Filling of the tool die is also one of the limiting factors in the productivity in powder pressing. By using aeration filling in combination with bonded powder mixes, both weight scatter and productivity can be improved. In this presentation results are presented showing the benefit of using aeration filling for different types of powders

The study aims to examine the impact of productivity in addition to the policy of increasing the foreign investors’ ownership rate on the performance of businesses which were listed on Vietnam's stock exchange market from 2010 to 2017. With the database of 3.961 observations, the study employs a statistical method – multiple regression to estimate the relationship between labor productivity, foreign ownership as well as other firm-level characteristics and firm performance. Research findings show that increasing labor productivity and increasing foreign ownership rates help increase firm performance. In addition, except for financial leverage, variables such as liquidity and firm size have positive effects on firm performance measured by Tobin’s Q. These findings have theoretical contributions and practical implications for managers, investors and government in Vietnam. Managers should pay attention to improving labor productivity through employing incentive mechanisms, building a good working environment, investing in technology, etc. in order to enhance the firm performance. Investors could utilize the labor productivity and foreign ownership indicators to select stocks of good companies for investment. For Vietnamese government, relaxing the limit of foreign ownership and accelerating the divesting of State capital in Stateowned enterprises could help increase the investment scale of foreign investors and resulting in positive effects on the firm performance.

본 연구에서는 수직배치형 장치장 블록형태의 자동화 컨테이너 터미널을 대상으로 안벽에서 컨테이너의 양·적하 작업을 수행하는 안벽크레인(Q/C)에 대한 하역생산성을 평가해 보았다. 분석 대상이 되는 안벽크레인의 유형으로 기존의 싱글트롤리 타입외에 차세대 안벽크레인으로 인식되고 있는 듀얼트롤리 더블트롤리, 수직순환식의 하역방식을 가지는 네 가지 장비이다. 이들은 각기 다른 방식으로 선박의 컨테이너를 하역하며, 이들 각각에 대해 기계적 생산성과 순작업 생산성을 산출해 보았다. 특히, 안벽크레인의 순작업 생산성을 산출하기 위해 각 장비에 대한 시뮬레이션 모델을 수립하고 이를 적용한 시뮬레이션 시스템을 개발하였으며, 개발된 시뮬레이션 시스템을 통해 내 가지 안벽크레인에 대한 다양한 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다.
