<p>CV. Baja Utama Landasan Ulin is a business entity that manufactures various products using the basic ingredients of iron. In the management of raw materials for the production of common regulatory process raw materials into sections for further processing. This setting is often done manually without doing careful planning, so that at the end of each production process there are many remaining pieces of the raw materials that should be used in production. In addition to the determination of the production is necessary to reference how the product should be made for each type of existing products. This is often an important factor that pushed for the optimization of production planning in determining the number of products for each type of product and raw material consumption.Linear Programming is one of the methods used in production planning to regulate the use of raw materials is limited. Simplex method is part of the linear programming method that can be used in the production planning system implementation. Simplex method identifies an initial basic solution and then move systematically to other basic solution that has the potential to improve the value of the objective function.The calculation result of production planning using the simplex method can be used as a reference in the decision making production planning. By building an application using the simplex method can assist in the calculation of production peencanaan more efficiently and effectively. Accuracy testing system constructed show significant results with great value reached 94% level of accuracy.<br />Keywords: simplex, production planning, the maximum gain, linear programming</p>

A joint testing system was designed to transmit a specified motion or force to a joint in all six degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) using a spatial linkage system for position feedback. The precise reproducibility of position provided by this method of position feedback allows determination of in situ ligament forces for external joint loadings. Load on the structure of interest is calculated from six d.o.f. load cell output after the loaded position is reproduced with all other structures removed. In a test of this system, measured loads showed good agreement with applied loads.

On-Line Testing is that sector of e-learning aimed at assessing learner’s knowledge through e-learning means. In on-line testing, due to the necessity of evaluating a big mass of learners in strict times, the means for knowledge evaluation had to evolve to satisfy the new necessities: objective tests, more rapidly assessable, started gaining more credence in the determination of learners’ results. In this chapter, the authors present an On-Line Testing system, named eWorkbook, which can be used for evaluating learner’s knowledge by creating (the tutor) and taking (the learner) on-line tests based on multiple choice question type. Its use is suitable within the academic environment in a blended learning approach, by providing tutors with an additional assessment tool, and learners with a distance self-assessment means. Among other features, eWorkbook can record and visualize, in a suitable graphical format, learner’s interactions with the system interface during the test session. This is valuable information for understanding the learner’s behaviour when taking a test. In particular, the graphical analysis of the test outcomes has helped us in the discovery of several strategies employed by the learners to perform the test. In the paper, the main characteristics of the system are presented together with a rationale behind them and an outline of the architectural design of the system.

Because of the evident advantages associated with the smooth tire for the measurement of pavement friction, many highway agencies have become interested in the smooth tire. Pavement friction is the result of tire–pavement interaction. Because of the differences between ribbed and smooth tires, experiences with the ribbed tire may not apply to the smooth tire. Therefore, it is of great importance to evaluate those issues associated with the use of the smooth tire in network pavement inventory friction testing, such as variations in the friction testing system, seasonal friction variations, spatial friction variations, and temporal friction variations. The Indiana Department of Transportation (InDOT) has been using the smooth tire in the network pavement inventory friction test program since 1996. Large amounts of friction data have been obtained in the InDOT friction test track and network pavements. This paper presents the variations in the friction measurements obtained with the smooth tire because of testing system errors and seasonal and temperature effects. The paper also presents the spatial and temporal variations in the friction measurements. It was thought that the results provided in this paper would be useful for highway agencies for determination of test cycle, test spacing, and friction corrections for their network pavement inventory friction testing programs.

The displacement of a threshold from its measured-in-the-quiet value to the value it takes in the presence of another sound is masking. Measurement of that displacement is masking audiometry. Measurement of displacements at a large number of frequencies produces a masking pattern. This paper concerns itself with a procedure that produces masking patterns with good precision, sensitivity, and rapidity without the problems of tonal interference and beats that normally complicate the determination of masking patterns. Several applications of the technique are suggested, including diagnostic audiometry, continuous-frequency SAL testing, a testing system for ear protectors, and a device for measuring the masking effects of various complex noises and tones.

The adhesion test of metallic structures on MID (Molded Interconnect Devices) parts is an unsolved issue. So far no method really works reliably. The test methods which are conventionally used are the pull-off test and the shear-test. Both show large standard deviation and the reproducibility is not assured. Nordson DAGE has introduced the new micro-material testing system 4000Plus. This device enables a new test method for the determination of the adhesion strength of MID structures using the hot pin pull (hot bump pull) method. Copper pins (tinned or untinned) are heated up with a user defined temperature profile, soldered to a metallized structure on the MID and then removed vertically upward, while the force is recorded. In this contribution investigations with this new test method are presented.
