In financial service industry, service improvement should be considered from process viewpoint and customer viewpoint because the value creation is ultimately linked with internal business processes on the back office and customers are involved as a co-producer of value. In this perspective, customer complaints through call centers are adequate to support the analysis for service improvement in financial service industry. In this study, we propose a web-based decision support system for business process management employing customer complaints, namely Voice of the Customer (VOC), and its handling data for service improvement. It involves VOC conversion for data enrichment and includes analysis of summarization, exception and comparison. The proposed system is evaluated on a major credit card company in South Korea. 相似文献
With the development in IT technology and with growing demands of users, a ubiquitous environment is being made. Because individual
identification is important in ubiquitous environment, RFID technology would be used frequently. RFID is a radio frequency
identification technology to replace bar code. The reader transmits query (request of user information) and tag-provides user
information. RFID has various advantages, such as high speed identification rates, mass memory storages. However, eavesdropping
is possible as well as a problem that user information is exposed (Juels et al. in Conference on Computer and Communications
Security—ACM CCS, pp. 103–111, 2003; Ohkubo et al. in RFID Privacy Workshop 2003; Weis et al. in International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing, pp. 201–212, 2003; Weis et al. in Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems—CHES, pp. 454–469, 2002). Therefore, when off-line customer had visited bank for banking service, RNTS (RFID number ticket service) system provides
both anonymity in customer identification and efficiency of banking service. In addition, RNTS system protects privacy of
an off-line user visiting the bank and it is an efficient method offering service in order of arriving in the bank. 相似文献
With the increased incidence of depression-related disorders, many psychiatric websites have been developed to provide huge amounts of educational documents along with rich self-help information. Psychiatric document retrieval aims to assist individuals to locate documents relevant to their depressive problems efficiently and effectively. By referring to relevant documents, individuals can understand how to alleviate their depression-related symptoms according to recommendations from health professionals. This work proposes the use of high-level discourse information extracted from queries and documents to improve the precision of retrieval results. The discourse information adopted herein includes negative life events, depressive symptoms and semantic relations between symptoms, which are beneficial for better understanding of users' queries. Experimental results show that the discourse-aware retrieval model achieves higher precision than the word-based retrieval models, namely the vector space model (VSM) and Okapi model, adopting word-level information alone. 相似文献
The standard C/C++ implementation of a spatial partitioning data structure, such as octree and quadtree, is often inefficient in terms of storage requirements particularly when the memory overhead for maintaining parent‐to‐child pointers is significant with respect to the amount of actual data in each tree node. In this work, we present a novel data structure that implements uniform spatial partitioning without storing explicit parent‐to‐child pointer links. Our linkless tree encodes the storage locations of subdivided nodes using perfect hashing while retaining important properties of uniform spatial partitioning trees, such as coarse‐to‐fine hierarchical representation, efficient storage usage, and efficient random accessibility. We demonstrate the performance of our linkless trees using image compression and path planning examples. 相似文献
Recently photopolymer with disk type substrate is selected as a media of the holographic data storage system. Because shape of the media is a disk, a disk tilt must be occur when the media rotates. When disk tilt occurs the angle between the reference beam and the media is changed by the tilt, thus the data can not be recorded with a right angle or another data page is retrieved. The holographic data storage system is very weak to the tilt disturbance by the Bragg effect, therefore it is necessary to detect the disk tilt angle and compensate it. In this study, we measure the amount of the tilt error using external photo detector and compensate it by rotating the angle of galvano mirror with our own algorithm. 相似文献
Microactuators for micromirror system have found many applications in various areas including projection displays, optical switches, RF switches and so on. In this paper we demonstrated micromirror actuator using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) that is a suitable candidate, since it has many attractive qualities such as durability, aquatic, miniature and light-weighted. Specially, IPMC has extraordinary advantages which are simple bending motion for low driving voltage (1–2 V), low power consumption, and simple structure. The IPMC actuator is made of Nafion NE-1110 (Dupont Co, Ltd., 260 µm thick) layer and electrode (platinum) layers and driven by 1–4 V. The displacement measured vertically is 0.25 mm and tilting angle is 11.3°. The angular motion, which is more than 10°, is a good advantage in the field of display module. This paper shows that the IPMC actuator has enough possibility for other applications. 相似文献
DEA is a useful nonparametric method of measuring the relative efficiency of a DMU and yielding a reference target for an inefficient DMU. However, it is very difficult for inefficient DMUs to be efficient by benchmarking a target DMU which has different input use. Identifying appropriate benchmarks based on the similarity of input endowment makes it easier for an inefficient DMU to imitate its target DMUs. But it is rare to find out a target DMU, which is both the most efficient and similar in input endowments, in real situation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an optimal path to the most efficient DMU on the frontier through several times of a proximity-based target selection process. We propose a dynamic method of stepwise benchmarking for inefficient DMUs to improve their efficiency gradually.The empirical study is conducted to compare the performance between the proposed method and the prior methods with a dataset collected from Canadian Bank branches. The comparison result shows that the proposed method is very practical to obtain a gradual improvement for inefficient DMUs while it assures to reach frontier eventually. 相似文献
In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, production resembles an automated assembly line in which many similar products with slightly different specifications are manufactured step-by-step, with each step being a complicated physiochemical batch process performed by a number of tools. This constitutes a high-mix production system for which effective run-to-run control (RtR) and fault detection control (FDC) can be carried out only if the states of different tools and different products can be estimated. However, since in each production run, a specific product is performed on a specific tool, absolute individual states of products and tools are not observable. In this work, a novel state estimation method based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) is developed to estimate the relative states of each product and tool to the grand average performance of this station in the fab. The method is formulated in the form of a recursive state estimation using the Kalman filter. The advantages of this method are demonstrated using simulations to show that the correct relative states can be estimated in production scenarios such as tool-shift, tool-drift, product ramp-up, tool/product-offline and preventive maintenance (PM). Furthermore, application of this state estimation method in RtR control scheme shows that substantial improvements in process capabilities can be gained, especially for products with small lot counts. The proposed algorithm is also evaluated by an industrial application. 相似文献
Augmented reality (AR) has received much attention in the cultural heritage domain as an interactive medium for requesting and accessing information regarding heritage sites. In this study, we developed a mobile AR system based on Semantic Web technology to provide contextual information about cultural heritage sites. Most location-based AR systems are designed to present simple information about a point of interest (POI), but the proposed system offers information related to various aspects of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, linked to the POI. This is achieved via an information modeling framework where a cultural heritage ontology is used to aggregate heterogeneous data and semantically connect them with each other. We extracted cultural heritage data from five web databases and modeled contextual information for a target heritage site (Injeongjeon Hall and its vicinity in Changdeokgung Palace in South Korea) using the selected ontology. We then implemented a mobile AR application and conducted a user study to assess the learning and engagement impacts of the proposed system. We found that the application provides an agreeable user experience in terms of its affective, cognitive, and operative features. The results of our analysis showed that specific usage patterns were significant with regard to learning outcomes. Finally, we explored how the study’s key findings can provide practical design guidance for system designers to enhance mobile AR information systems for heritage sites, and to show system designers how to support particular usage patterns in order to accommodate specific user experiences better.
