There have been a lot of studies about overseas factory location in order to meet various needs of industries according to the international economic developments. However, most of the studies were written about generic theory for general industries or mainly concerned to high capital industries. This study is focusing on the sewing and apparel industries which represent labor intensive and small-medium type of enterprises. For this study, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) methods were applied to make proper analysis after wide range of survey to clarify determinants which provide a guidance for overseas factory location. As a result of the analytical researches done in the thesis the most important which should be taken consideration while determining of overseas factory location for sewing and apparel products industry are as follows – economic factors(0.569), geographic factors(0.171), social and cultural factors(0.157), regulations and institutional factors(0.103). In the last, S company is examined for example to show how this determinants have practically been applied.

The Purpose of this study is to compare occupational accident rate of unionized and non-unionized company and to investigate influences of labor relations on occupational accident rate in Korean manufacturing and construction Industry. Data in 2011 Occupational safety and Health Trend Survey were analyzed for this study. Results show that the occupational accident rate was lower in unionized company than non-unionized company. And amicable labor relationship reduces the occupational accident rate. The policy should be needed to support labor union and improve labor relationship to prevent industrial accidents.

This paper suggests a specific model that could efficiently improve the interaction and the interface between WMS(Warehouse Management System) terminal and PDA terminal through real time processing in manufacturing shop. The proposed model shows that the new method can more efficiently perform to reduce processing time for shipping and receiving, compared with the current approach. As a result of the certain test among the main server, WMS system, and PDA terminal, it is noted in case of the new proposed system that the effects of proposed model are as follows: (a) While the receiving lead time for carrying by the current method was 2 hours, the receiving lead time by the new method was 20 minutes. (b) While the shipping lead time for carrying by the current method was 1 hours, the shipping lead time by the new method was 15 minutes. (c) While the inventory rate of accuracy by the current method was 85%, the inventory rate of accuracy by the new method was 98%.

As preventive measures have received tremendous attention to prevent any possible accident in advance, many work places have introduced safety and health management systems. However despite of this government's effort, the industrial accident rate of small-scale businesses with less than 50 employees does not decline, which is mainly because the projects are not differentiated according to the risk level of individual business. To evaluate the risk level of small-scale businesses with less than 50 employees and then establish effective safety and health management systems according to the risk level, this study has conducted the following processes. The small-scale businesses with less than 50 employees were evaluated through accident type, and potential accident risk factor was evaluated through location, business type, and business size. The results of this analysis are expected to make contribution to improving the effectiveness of the safety and health management supports to small-scale businesses with less than 50 employees.

As S. Korea is becoming an “aged society”, workers in the country would be exposed to higher risk of workplace injuries due to their reducing work abilities as they are getting old. To identify the relationship between the work ability and the incident rate of workplace injuries, the work ability index (WAI) scores were surveyed from 409 workers occupied in different manufacturing industries reside on north GyoengBuk area. The workplace injury statistics in the year of 2010 for the corresponding industries were analyzed and summarized with the WAI scores by age groups, years of service, and sizes of business. The results showed the WAI scores of the workers occupied in the higher risk of workplace injury was lower than that of the workers of the lower risk. It means the lower the WAI score, the higher the chance of being injured during the task. It is concluded that appropriate correlation exists between the WAI scores of workers and the incident rate of workplace injury. It is recommended to administrate individual work abilities of aged workers in order to keep low rate of workplace injuries in upcoming aged and highly aged society.

This paper is written following an analysis of occurrence trend of industrial disaster in manufacturing industry. One of major reason of industrial accident is unsafe action caused by lack of work supervision. so we have surveyed the understanding level of supervisors for industrial safety and their education of industrial safety which is forced by industrial law. We have got the result that the supervisor’s education is necessary to prevent industrial disaster but it’s not fit for their own workplace for various reasons from the survey and analysis. I would like to suggest effective solutions. The institute of education should train that they can execute safety and health works themselves by classification of the industrial category, company scale and located region. Also, government should endow supervisors with authority and responsibility for the activation of education system. Finally, government should support the expense of education to medium and small-sized enterprises especially, and they should be interested in the attendance and execution of education. They will achieve the goal to prevent industrial disasters in manufacturing industry through the enforcement of effective supervisor system as per the remark mentioned above.

OSHMS(Occupational Safety and Health Management System) is able to define as a typical convergence of all kinds of activities and elements that support maintaining safety at workplace and protecting employee's health. In particular, fundamental function of OSHMS is preventing diverse hazards at workplace through high level of regulation compliance. Furthermore, insuring safety in workplace, protecting employee's health and increasing effectiveness in manufacture are OSHMS's additional functions. Based on the division of manufacture in 2009 Survey on Current Status of Occupational Health & Safety data, the study analyses certain relation between OSHMS and level of regulation compliance. The main finding is that most activities and elements which formed by OSHMS are being affected by regulation clauses.

본 연구는 정부연구개발투자가 민간부문의 고용에 미치는 장기적인 효과를 검증하기 위해 국내 23개 제조업 부문을 대상으로 패널분석을 수행하였다. 1990년대 중반 이후 IT의 급속한 발전과 더불어 국내 제조업 고용구조에 큰 영향을 준 IMF 구제금융에 따른 산업구조 조정기를 중심으로 전체 표본기간을 IMF 이전과 이후로 나누어 정부연구개발투자가 기업의 고용수요에 미친 영향을 실증분석한 결과 다음의 결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 정부연구개발투자는 단기적으로는 고용을 감소시키는 효과를 나타내지만 시간이 지나면서 신제품 혹은 신산업 창출로 인한 고용의 보상효과가 이를 상쇄하면서 고용창출에 긍정적인 효과를 가진다. 둘째, 민간연구개발투자의 고용창출 효과가 정부연구개발투자의 효과보다 3배 이상 크다. 셋째, 기업의 노동수요에 비용요인인 임금 및 이자율은 높은 유의수준으로 고용에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 결과는 향후 정부연구개발투자가 새로운 고용창출을 위한 정책수단으로 활용될 수 있다는 정책적 함의를 제공한다.

The hazard conditions on plant works of the steel industry have been investigated to efficiently prevent from industrial accidents. The plant works are eventually carried out by workers of smaller service companies where the safety management systems are not well established, on behalf of the main steel company. Based on the preliminary risk assessment on the plant working and open literature reviews, the safety management systems, which can be applied to the plant workplace of each process, are studied and then the step-by-step 4M check-list method is established. Accordingly, the risk assessment technique using 4M checklist for the plant workplace is proposed. In addition, a standardized flow-chart for safety management of plant work is introduced. These risk assessment technique and flow-chart can definitely contribute to the reduction of industrial accidents, considering the risk characterization and the unsafe conditions in small and medium-sized plant workplace, as effective safety management tools and safety guide line.

본 논문에서는 자기효능감(Self-efficacy belief)과 산업재해의 관계에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 연구의 예비 단계에서는 크게 세 그룹 즉, 현장의 작업자, 현장 및 안전관련 자문업체에 근무하는 안전 관리자, 그리고 산업안전에 관계되는 정부기관 종사자 등을 대상으로 집중면접(Focus group interview)을 실시하였고, 이 집중면접의 결과를 근거로 하여 연구의 본 단계에서 적용될 설문지를 개발하였다. 본 설문지는 산업안전, 산업

본 연구에서는 국내 제조업의 기술혁신 패턴을 산업의 기술집약도에 따라 4개 부문-고기술, 중상기술, 중하기술 및 저기술-으로 나누어 살펴보았다. 과학기술정책연구원의 기술혁신조사(KIS 2008) 데이터를 이용한 실증분석 결과, 국내 기술혁신 패턴은 산업의 기술 수준이 높고 낮음에 관계없이 모든 산업부문에서 Pavitt의 과학기반형 특성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 고기술산업과 저기술산업의 기술혁신 패턴이 각각 Pavitt의 과학기반형(science-based)과 공급자주도형(supplier-dominated)으로 뚜렷하게 구분되는 해외 연구결과와는 차이를 나타낸다. 이는 국내 기술혁신활동이 해당 산업의 기술수준이나 특성을 제대로 반영하지 못한 채 고기술산업을 기준으로 획일화되어 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 향후 각 산업의 기술수준이나 특성을 반영하는 효과적인 기술·혁신정책 수립을 위해서는 국내 기술혁신 패턴이 이러한 양상을 나타내는 원인과 그것이 혁신성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다 하겠다.
