Korea's defense industry has been fostered as a protection industry in which the government directly controls prices, quantities, and costs for the past 40 years, and it is deepening into a low-efficiency industrial structure. By implementing the Defense Industry Building Act in 2021, the government is creating a healthy ecosystem for the defense industry and strengthening its global competitiveness. In this study, based on KPC's Productivity Management System (PMS), a diagnostic model of defense companies that has been implemented since 2013, on-site diagnosis was performed from 4 to 28 days depending on the size of the company, and data was collected based on the results. For the effect of innovation capability on productivity performance, the causal relationship was analyzed through structural equation model path analysis. As a result, it suggests that defense materials suppliers should focus on which core processes to innovate and strengthen and improve their innovation capabilities.
