In semi-automated roofing sheets manufacturing plants, production managers receive large orders, which most often, are to be delivered within scheduled delivery dates; failure to deliver orders incurs penalty costs and litigation charges. The challenge therefore for the production manager is to be able to predict product completion period and map available labour man-hours to production of roofing sheet orders. This paper presents a linear regression model for setting up work standards for a roofing sheet manufacturing plant. Linear regression is a relatively established technique in scientific investigations, but new in its applied form to work standards, particularly in roofing sheets manufacturing operations standards setting. The accuracy of the model was determined by the least square method, and the result suggests the feasibility of applying a model in the case presented. Thus, the contribution of this paper lies in the application of a known technique in a new area. The utility of the tool is in its ability to provide useful information for production planning and implementation purposes in the roofing sheets plants.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of knowledge management on employee performance, analyze the effect of competence on employee performance, analyze the influence of motivation on employee performance). In this study, samples taken are structural employees PT.centris Kingdom Taxi Yogyakarta. The analysis tool in this study using multiple linear regression with Ordinary Least Square method (OLS). The conclusion of this study showed that the variables of knowledge management has a significant influence on employee performance, competence variables have an influence on employee performance, motivation variables have an influence on employee performance, The analysis showed that the variables of knowledge management, competence, motivation on employee performance.Keywords: knowledge management, competence, motivation, employee performance.

Fuzzy linear regression has been extensively studied since its inception symbolized by the work of Tanaka et al. in 1982. As one of the main estimation methods, fuzzy least squares approach is appealing because it corresponds, to some extent, to the well known statistical regression analysis. In this article, a restricted least squares method is proposed to fit fuzzy linear models with crisp inputs and symmetric fuzzy output. The paper puts forward a kind of fuzzy linear regression model based on structured element, This model has precise input data and fuzzy output data, Gives the regression coefficient and the fuzzy degree function determination method by using the least square method, studies the imitation degree question between the observed value and the forecast value.

AbstractThe lattice misfits between γ and γ' phases in Ni-base superalloys (single crystal) were accurately determined for filings of specimens by using both a conventional X-ray tube focusing diffractometer(CXRFD) and a synchrotron-radiation parallel beam X-ray diffractometer (SRPXRD). All reflection peaks measured with the CXRFD were in a cluster of overlapping peaks because of the very small differences in the lattice parameters of both phases and the instrumental broadening due to X-ray optics including the spectral distribution of Xray source such as CuKα doublet. The deconvolution method was applied to remove the instrumental broadening from the peaks measured with the CXRFD. The window functions for the deconvolution method were calculated from CuKα doublet reflection of Si standard by a nonlinear least-square method.The instrumental broadening of SRPXRD was much smaller than that of CXRFD since the monochromatic X-rays produced single peak profiles and constant profile shape over a wide 2θ range. A profile fitting with a pseudo-Voigt function was used to determine 2θ angles to 0.0005 deg. for the synchrotron powder data. The peak angle and shape reflected from γ' phases in γ-matrix and those fron electrochemically extracted γ'-phase were significantly different.

Based on the positive bias property of the time of arrival(TOA) measurement error caused by the non-line-of-sight(NLOS) propagation, a simple and effective three dimensional(3D) geometrical localization algorithm was proposed, the algorithm needs no prior knowledge of time delay distribution of TOA, and only linear regression was used to estimate the parameters of the relationship between the NLOS distance error and the true distance, thus, the approximate real distance between mobile terminal (MT) and base station (BS) was reduced, then, the 3D geometric localization of mobile terminal was carried out by the least square method. The experimental results shows the effectiveness of the algorithm, and the positional accuracy is far higher than the required accuracy by E-911 in NLOS environments.

Semarang city is densely populated that demand of settlement will increase continually, but land in city center is very limited and even it is scarce, therefore the land price which is placed in city center is high. That is why many inhabitant of Semarang city prefer to live in outskirts of the city. The shifting of land demand to the outskirts is also followed by increasing of land price in outskirts, it causes the land price in outskirts is uncontrolled.The research takes location in Banyumanik area. This research area consists of 7 districts, that are Jabungan, Pudak Payung, Banyumanik, Srondol Kulon, Pedalangan, Ngesrep, and Gedawang district. The sample total is one hundred (100). The data is analyzed by using multiple linear regression model with ordinary least square method (OLS).

Currently, the standards that deal with the determination of the properties of rigidity and strength for structural round timber elements do not take in consideration in their calculations and mathematical models the influence of the existing irregularities in the geometry of these elements. This study has as objective to determine the effective value of the modulus of longitudinal elasticity for structural round timber pieces of the Eucalyptus citriodora genus by a technique of optimization allied to the Inverse Analysis Method, to the Finite Element Method and the Least Square Method.

According to the previous studies of sediment carrying capacity, a new method of sediment carrying capacity on perturbed theory was proposed. By taking into account the average water depth, average flow velocity, settling velocity, and other influencing factors and introducing the median grain size as one main influencing factor in deriving the new formula, we established a new sediment carrying capacity formula. The coefficients were determined by the principle of dimensional analysis, multiple linear regression method, and the least square method. After that, the new formula was verified through measuring data of natural rivers and flume tests and comparing the verified results calculated by Cao Formula, Zhang Formula, Li Formula, Engelung-Hansen Formula, Ackers-White Formula, and Yang Formula. According to the compared results, it can be seen that the new method is of high accuracy. It could be a useful reference for the determination of sediment carrying capacity.
