Perceived service quality (PSQ) has been shown to influence satisfaction, loyalty, and other important outcomes, specifically in a competitive environment and is also one of the foremost reasons for ...choosing an airline. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in PSQ between full service carriers (FSCs) and low cost carriers (LCCs) in the South Korean domestic airline market, which has become more competitive due to the emergence of multiple LCCs. The results showed that PSQ of LCCs is lower than FSCs in terms of the rank of dimension although the trend was surprisingly similar. Moreover, the relationships between service quality dimensions and demographic factors were significantly different between the two types of carriers. These results suggest that new entrants in South Korea should have their own distinguishable service strategy from the FSC.
The part-feeding system at an assembly shop controls the feeding of parts from the warehouse to workstations of the assembly shop in accordance with the production of vehicles. The part-feeding ...system plays a crucial role in determining the level of the inventory and stockout rate at the automotive assembly line. In this study, we propose a dynamic part-feeding system for an automotive assembly plant which estimates the part consumption amounts dynamically considering the actual production progress and directs the feeding orders dynamically to feeders. The results of a simulation show that the proposed dynamic feeding system produces better results than a static feeding system.
Lower Cretaceous Sindong and Hayang mudrocksin the Gyeongsang Basin, Korea, have been analyzed for majorand trace elements, including the rare earth elements (REs). TheSindong mudrocks are relatively ...enriched in most large-ion litho-phile (LIL) elements such as K2O, Rb, Ba, Zr, Th and LRE thanthe Hayang mudrocks, and they are more depleted in Fe2O3(total),MgO, MnO, CaO, Na2O, Sr, Cu, Zn and Mo compared with theHayang mudrocks. The REE distribution patterns indicate thatthe Sindong and Hayang mudrocks are largely derived fromuper continental source rocks. The differences in chemistry betweenthe two groups mainly reflect the occurrence of intermediate tosilicic volcanics in the source area during the deposition of theHayang Group. KCI Citation Count: 4
