The 'Excellent Quality Competitive Enterprises' selection system began with the government's selection and announcement of 'Top 100 Excellent Quality Competitive Enterprises' in 1997 in accordance with Article 6 of the Quality Management and Safety Control of Industrial Products Act and Article 5 (Selection of excellent quality management enterprises, etc.) of the Act's Enforcement Decree. The content of the research and analysis results is summarized as follows: 1. The participation and confidence of enterprises in the differentiation of the assessment system for the excellent quality competitive enterprises selection system is high: from the initial year to the present, 10% of enterprises have participated in the system for over 10 years and since 2000 participating enterprises have been on a steady rise. 2. The distribution of participating enterprises is not limited to any specific region but is spread nationwide, while the participation scale and business types also are being evenly distributed. 3. From the perspective of management performance, as compared with the average of domestic manufacturing businesses or that of U.S. manufacturing businesses, an analysis found that among management results, the excellent quality competitive enterprises achieved far higher sales growth and operating profit rate on sales, however their own capital ratio and debt to equity ratio appeared to be slightly higher.

여수시 묘도 일대에 분포하는 안산암과 퇴적암 지역에서 물리검층 종류인 부유식 P S파 속도검층과 밀도검층을 실시하였다. 연구목적은 이 지역에 분포하는 두 암상에 대해 깊이에 따른 탄성파속도 및 밀도분포를 찾아내어 시추조사를 통해 얻은 지반정보인 암상과 RQD 값을 비교하여 암석 종류에 따른 상호간에 상관관계를 파악하는 것이다. 연구지역에서 두 암석에 대한 탄성파 속도 분포는 깊이에 따라 P파가 약 2,000m/sec 내외이며, S파가 1,500m/sec 내외의 차이를 보였으며, 밀도는 깊이에 따라 약 0.35g/cm3의 차이로 비교적 넓은 폭으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 암석 종류에 대한 차이보다 풍화 정도에 따른 것으로 해석된다. 그러나 RQD, 탄성파속도 및 밀도의 상관성 분석은 비교적 높은 관계를 보이므로 물리 검층자료의 결과를 이용하여 RQD에 관련된 불연속면의 빈도를 유추할 수 있다고 본다.
