OBJECTIVES: This study aims to review a plan to reduce the shoulder width of a deformed round-trip two-lane highway with low traffic volume. METHODS: Installation of a passing lane on a round-trip two-lane (one-way one-lane) highway, and reduction of a shoulder for a round-trip four-lane highway. RESULTS : It is necessary to establish a design criterion for various highways, because the plan to reduce the lane or shoulder width of a highway with low traffic volume was analyzed to have an economic efficiency of 6.8~7.0%. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to seek for a plan to establish a national trunk net early by efficiently using the limited financial resources to cope with the traffic demand elastically.

The external R&D, which includes the adoption of the external technology and knowledge in addition to the internal R&D, is one of important factors for the innovation. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the external R&D has been considered as a key factor to carry out the innovation more efficiently due to the limitations of their resources and capacities. However, most of extant studies related to external R&D have focused on analyzing the influence of external R&D on innovation outputs or outcomes. Only a few studies have explored the impact of external R&D on the innovation efficiency. This study therefore investigates whether the external R&D effects the industry’s innovation efficiency and productivity. On this study, we used Korean manufacturing industry data of SMEs from 2012 to 2014 and employed a global Malmquist productivity analysis technique, which is based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), to assess the innovation efficiency and productivity. Innovation performances of external R&D group and internal R&D group are compared. Then, the sectoral patterns of both innovation efficiency and productivity are analyzed with respect to the technological intensity, which is introduced by OECD. The results show that the gap of innovation efficiency between external and internal R&D groups has gradually decreased because of the continuous improvement of the external R&D group’s performance, while the external R&D group lag behind the internal R&D group. In addition, patterns of the innovation efficiency and productivity change were different depending on the technological intensity, which means that the higher the technological intensity, the greater the effect of external R&D.

MTO (Make to Order) is a manufacturing process in which manufacturing starts only after a customer’s order is received. Manufacturing after receiving customer’s orders means to start a pull-type supply chain operation because manufacturing is performed when demand is confirmed, i.e. being pulled by demand (The opposite business model is to manufacture products for stock MTS (Make to Stock), which is push-type production). There are also BTO (Build to Order) and ATO (Assemble To Order) in which assembly starts according to demand. Lean manufacturing by MTO is very efficient system. Nevertheless, the process industry, generally, which has a high fixed cost burden due to large-scale investment is suitable for mass production of small pieces or ‘mass customization’ defined recently. The process industry produces large quantities at one time because of the lack of manufacturing flexibility due to long time for model change or job change, and high loss during line-down (shutdown). As a result, it has a lot of inventory and costs are increased. In order to reduce the cost due to the characteristics of the process industry, which has a high fixed cost per hour, it operates a stock production system in which it is made and sold regardless of the order of the customer. Therefore, in a business environment where the external environment changes greatly, the inventory is not sold and it becomes obsolete. As a result, the company’s costs increase, profits fall, and it make more difficult to survive in the competition.Based on the customer’s order, we have built a new method for order system to meet the characteristics of the process industry by producing it as a high-profitable model. The design elements are designed by deriving the functions to satisfy the Y by collecting the internal and external VOC (voice of customer), and the design elements are verified through the conversion function. And the Y is satisfied through the pilot test verified and supplemented. By operating this make to order system, we have reduced bad inventories, lowered costs, and improved lead time in terms of delivery competitiveness. Make to order system in the process industry is effective for the display glass industry, for example, B and C groups which are non-flagship models, have confirmed that the line is down when there is no order, and A group which is flagship model, have confirmed stock production when there is no order.

본 사례는 공작기계산업의 A사에서 수행한 R&D 개발완료 과제 79건을 대상으로 R&D 효율성을 DEA를 활용하여 분석하고, 그 개선방안을 제시한 것이다. DEA 분석에서투입변수는 R&D 투자비와 연구인력 맨먼스, 산출변수는 개발기간 목표달성률과 예상매출액(5년간)으로 설정하였으며, 표본은 제품, 선행기술, 제어기술로 구분하여 분석하였다. 여기서선행기술은 제품성능을 위한 요소기술과 응용프로그램을 개발하는 것이고 제어기술은 컴퓨터를 토대로 수치제어 프로그램을 설계하는 것이다. 분석결과에 따르면 제품, 제어기술, 선행기술 순으로 효율적으로 운영되고 있어 선행기술의 효율성이 가장 낮았다. 그 이유는 선행기술의 불학실성에 기인한다. 선행기술은 개발목표를 정하기 어렵고 개발계획도 수립하기 어렵다. 심지어 운영하는 과정에도 환경변화가 영향을 미친다. 투자효율성 분석결과에서 CRS는 제품 34.6%, 선행기술 14.3%, 제어기술 38.9%이다. IRS는 제품 53.8%, 선행기술 85.7%, 제어기술 38.9%이다. DRS는 제품 11.5%, 선행기술0%, 제어기술 22.2%이다. 전체적으로 본 사례는 과다투입보다는 과소투입이 문제가 되고 있다. 이는 R&D 투자 부족을 의미한다. 주목할 부분은 기업의 미래 경쟁력이 될 수 있는 응용기술에 대한 과소투입이 심각하다는 것이다. 비효율적 DMU의 효율적 운영을 위해서는 최적의 투입량을 관리해야하며, 이것은 준거집단과의 비교를 통해 구할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 capacitive deionization(CDI) 공정에 사용되는 셀을 디자인하여 염 제거 성능비교 연구를 수행하였다. 디자인한 셀의 데드존을 알아보기 위하여 computational fluid dynamics(CFD)로 분석하였다. CFD분석은 15, 25, 35ml/min 의 유속에서 진행하였으며, 같은 유속에서의 CDI 결과와 비교하였다. hexagon flow channel 1(HFC1), hexagon flow channel 2(HFC2)의 경우 15ml/min의 유 속에서 88-124%효율을, 25ml/min 에서는 49-50%의 염 제거 효율을 나타내었다. 35ml/min의 유속에서는 HFC1과 HFC2를 foursquare flow channel (FFC)와 비교해보았을 때 차이가 없었다.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is one of the promising desalination processes. It consumes relatively small energy for operation compared with other competing processes such as reverse osmosis. Additionally, it does not produce any secondary wastes for a re-use. Comparing to the conventional CDI, membrane-CDI (MCDI) which uses porous carbon electrodes together with ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) has gained great interests due to the higher ion selectivity and removal efficiency. In this work, we have developed a pore-filled IEMs (PFIEMs) for the applications to cost and energy efficient CDI processes. As a result, they were shown to possess excellent electrochemical and mechanical properties. Their electrochemical characteristics have also been optimized for the successful applications to MCDI processes. (NRF-2015H1C1A1034436)(MOTIE-No. 10047796)

Pressure monitoring is expected to be expanded in a water distribution system according to accelerated development of smart water network management technologies caused by appearances of affordable digital infrastructures like computing, storage and bandwidth. However, the placement of pressure sensors has been determined by engineer’s technical decisions since there is no well-defined criteria for deciding a suitable location of pressure sensor. This study presents a placement method of pressure sensors based on the consideration of allowable error in calibrating water network analysis modeling. The proposed method is to find a minimum set of pressure sensors for achieving a reliable management of water transmissions main and increasing the efficiency of their real-time operation. In the case study in Y area’s transmission main, the proposed method shows equally distributed pressure sensors in terms of hydraulics. It is expected that the proposed method can be used to manage transmission mains stably and construct a robust real-time network analysis system as a minimal criteria.

본 연구는 멸종위기 야생생물 Ⅰ급 풍란의 증식 및 복원을 위한 효율적인 복원을 위해 증식기술과 복 원 후 생장조사를 통한 복원기술개발을 목적으로 수행되었다. 한려해상국립공원 자생지에서 채취한 씨 방을 종자의 적정 생장배지 구명을 위해 4개 배지별 분석결과, 식물체 폭, 잎수, 잎길이, 뿌리수에서 전체적으로 LMWP 배지에서 생장율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 증식된 270개체를 대상으로 식물체 높이, 식물체 폭, 촉수, 잎길이, 잎폭, 잎수 등 6개 항목을 조사하였고, 조사시기는 이식 전, 이식복원 100일 후 1차 모니터링, 이식복원 1년 후 2차모니터링 등 3회를 실시하였다. 생장량 분석결과, 복원 전 조사, 사후모니터링 1차 조사의 생장량보다 사후모니터링 2차의 생장량이 증가한 것은 풍란이 동절기 후에 기 온이 높아지면서 대부분의 성장이 이루어졌기 때문으로 판단된다. 단순 주 효과 분석을 실시한 결과, 부착개수에 따른 생장차이는 없었으나, 부착방법에 따른 촉수와 잎수에서 수태와 돌 부착방법이 유의수 준으로 나타났다. 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 생존율의 영향인자를 분석한 결과, 생존확률에 영향을 미치는 인자는 나무부착 여부가 부정적인 인자로 영향력이 가장 크게 나타났으며, 잎수가 적을수록 생존확률이 높게 나타났다. 향후, 미기후 환경인자와 생존율, 부착방법과 부착개수에 따른 생장율 관계 구명을 통 한 다각적인 분석이 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
