The Application of AI Chatbots and Lean Principles to Reduce Waiting Time for Customers and Vendors to Enhance Service Quality

The Application of AI Chatbots and Lean Principles to Reduce Waiting Time for Customers and Vendors to Enhance Service Quality

Abstract

This research aims to reduce the time required to resolve customer issues by focusing on improvements based on lean principles and the application of technology. The researcher conducts the case study at Nexter Digital and Solution Co., Ltd. to enhance workflows, establish new work standards, and integrate Bot technology into the processes to reduce resolution time and set new performance benchmarks for the company. The research proposes key ideas, such as identifying the root cause of problems, reducing redundant processes, implementing Lean methodologies, and applying technology to streamline operations. The research identifies two main issues to be resolved. The first involves addressing customer complaints, where the results show that the average resolution time reduces from 5 days to 3 days, representing a 38% decrease. The second issue involves solving problems for vendors, where the results show that the average response time reduces from 20 minutes to within 1 minute, a 98.5% decrease. The findings from both cases not only improve customer service but also establish a new standard for responding to and resolving internal issues more efficiently.

Dream High Packaging Protection from Mycelium

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact, DreamHigh is pioneering an innovative approach to packaging solutions using mycelium—a natural, biodegradable, and renewable material derived from fungi. Our mission is to revolutionize the packaging industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives that not only reduce waste but also align with global efforts to combat climate change. Mycelium packaging offers a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and Styrofoam packaging, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution. It is fully biodegradable, compostable, and capable of breaking down in natural environments within weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. Additionally, mycelium-based products are lightweight, durable, and customizable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer goods packaging to protective shipping materials. DreamHigh’s business plan outlines a scalable production process leveraging advanced mycelium cultivation techniques and partnerships with local agricultural sectors to utilize agricultural waste as a key raw material. This not only ensures cost-efficiency but also supports a circular economy by repurposing waste that would otherwise be discarded.

CLASSIFICATION OF OTITIS MEDIA TYPE USING OTOSCOPIC IMAGES

Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear that can occur in individuals of all ages. Diagnosis typically involves analyzing images taken with an otoscope by specialized physicians, which relies heavily on medical experience to expedite the process. This research introduces computer vision technology to assist in the preliminary diagnosis, aiding expert decision-making. By utilizing deep learning techniques and convolutional neural networks, specifically the YOLOv8 and Inception v3 architectures, the study aims to classify the disease and its five characteristics used by physicians: color, transparency, fluid, retraction, and perforation. Additionally, image segmentation and classification methods were employed to analyze and predict the types of Otitis Media, which are categorized into four types: Otitis Media with Effusion, Acute Otitis Media with Effusion, Perforation, and Normal. Experimental results indicate that the classification model performs moderately well in directly classifying Otitis Media, with an accuracy of 65.7%, a recall of 65.7%, and a precision of 67.6%. Moreover, the model provides the best results for classifying the perforation characteristic, with an accuracy of 91.8%, a recall of 91.8%, and a precision of 92.1%. In contrast, the classification model that incorporates image segmentation techniques achieved the best overall performance, with an mAP50-95 of 79.63%, a recall of 100%, and a precision of 99.8%. However, this model has not yet been tested for classifying the different types of Otitis Media.

Enhancing Sustainable Fish Gelatin Properties through Furcellaran Incoporation: Innovations in Eco-friendly Gelling Techniques

Fish gelatin is increasingly recognized as an alternative source of gelatin, but its use has been limited due to weak gelling properties. To address these issues, the effect of furcellaran, a gelling agent, was examined at various levels (25-100% FG substitution) on the structural and physicochemical properties of FG gels. As the amount of FUR increased to 25%, the FG/FUR gel showed improved hardness and gel strength (P<0.05). Additionally, increasing FUR levels led to higher gelling and melting points, showing a dose-dependent relationship. Microstructural analysis revealed that adding FUR created a denser gel network with smaller gaps. SAXS scattering intensities also increased as FUR concentration rose. Overall, adding FUR improved the gelling properties of FG without negatively affecting springiness and syneresis, enhancing gel strength and gelling temperature.
