In this paper, a two-stage approach of integrating spatiotemporal independent component analysis (stICA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is developed for efficiency measurement. stICA is used to search for latent source signals where no relevant signal mixture mechanisms are available; and DEA is used to measure the relative efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs). We suggest using stICA first to extract the input variables for generating independent components (IC), then selecting the ICs representing the independent sources of input variables, and finally inputting the selected ICs as new variables in the DEA model. The training institution dataset provided by the Semiconductor Institute in Taiwan is used for analysis. The result shows that the proposed method can not only separate performance differences between the training institutions but also improve the discriminatory capability of the DEA's efficiency measurement. The study results can serve as a reference for training institutions wishing to enhance their training efficiency.

Identifying key NSD success factors has long been a hot NSD research topic. However, NSD success factor studies are more descriptive than instructional. From a managerial perspective, we conclude that most NSD success factors identified so far actually relate to four management processes: NSD strategy management, NSD process management, NSD knowledge management, and customer involvement.

In imperfect production processes, this paper considers production correction and maintenance to break away out of control state. Production processes are classified into two types of state: one is the type I state (out-of-control state) and the other is the type II state (in-control state). The type I state involves adjustment of the production mechanism. Production correction is either imperfect; worsening a production system, or perfect, returning it to “in-control” conditions. After N type I states, the operating system must be maintained and returned to the beginning condition. At the beginning of the production of the each renewal cycle, the state of the process is not always to be restored to “in-control”. The total cost until “in-control” state, is determined. The existence of a unique and finite optimal N for an imperfect process under certain reasonable conditions is shown. A numerical example is presented.

Ergonomic evaluation of manually controlled devices is an important means of testing a man - machine interface matching in manned space medicine and engineering research. It's one of the comprehensive evaluation method based on Delphi, AHP and Grey systems. This study proposed a mathematical model combining subjective weights and objective weights, evaluated manually controlled devices quantitatively, solved the connection between design features and an operator satisfaction. Furthermore, by conducting a real experiment with both bare hand and glove box means, it analyzed the operation of the typical manually controlled devices, and verified the feasibility of a comprehensive evaluation and effectiveness of subjective and objective indices.

The Max-Plus Linear (MPL) representation is known as a useful solution of scheduling problems for a class of discrete event systems. In such systems, an initial schedule is frequently changed due to unpredictable disturbances. On the other hand, the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) method is an effective management tool for protecting projects from delays. In view of this, we have proposed a method of applying the concepts in the CCPM framework to the MPL representation, to control undesirable state changes. In our previous method, several time buffers were virtually inserted as new processes to avoid delays. With this method, however, it is difficult to figure out the relationship between the original structure and the modified one after the CCPM has been applied. Hence this paper proposes a method for taking into account time buffers without installing new virtual processes in the MPL-CCPM representation.

Evaluation of pattern classification systems is the critical and important step in order to understand the system's performance over a chosen testing dataset. In general, considering cross validation can produce the ‘optimal’ or ‘objective’ classification result. As some ground-truth dataset(s) are usually used for simulating the system's classification performance, this may be somehow difficult to judge the system, which can provide similar performances for future unknown events. That is, when the system facing the real world cases are unlikely to provide as similar classification performances as the simulation results. This paper presents an ARS evaluation framework for binary pattern classification systems to solve the limitation of using the ground-truth dataset during system simulation. It is based on accuracy, reliability, and stability testing strategies. The experimental results based on the bankruptcy prediction case show that the proposed evaluation framework can solve the limitation of using some chosen testing set and allow us to understand more about the system's classification performances.

We have already presented the concepts of new information amounts on the communication system among ordinary people and the handicapped persons. During these discussion we have needed the consideration of philosophical elements, for instance, the interpretants of the Peirce's semiotics. In this paper, firstly the historical outline of the communication system and information amounts for the handicapped persons is briefly described. Secondly the consideration of philosophical existences and their structures and their expanded concepts are described on the basis of the Peirce's semiotics. Thirdly the outline of compartment system and the compartment system models based on the philosophical existences are discussed. As a result we consider the developed new information amounts able to be applied to the handicapped situations, and estimate the latent characters of these information systems considering the nervous system on the basis of these compartment system models. And finally the conclusion and further works are described.

In many business fields, customers have become very demanding to the point that they only ask for individualized products and services. These changes at the customer's level have forced companies to react by developing new operations strategies in order to secure market shares and improve profits. New products (customized product) are often designed change or modification to existing product. Design by modification applies particularly to safety critical product where the reuse of existing working parts and subsystems can reduce cost and risk. However change is rarely a matter of just reusing or modifying parts. Changing one part can propagate through the entire design leading to costly rework of the whole product. This paper introduces tools to aid designers in understanding the potential effects of change based on studies of industrial complex product. The coherency matrix has been developed to model the integration and visualization of change propagation through system connectivity.
