In recent years, studies on various 3D scanner applications, including those on quality control and reverse engineering, have been conducted in the shipbuilding industry. Appropriate scanner selection, scanning environment setting by targets, and data postprocessing are essential for effective 3D scanning projects for small crafts. In this study, a non-contact handheld-type 3D scanner was used for molds and hull products for the 10– 30-ft class of small crafts. Small crafts have fewer geometric features and several glare surfaces; thus, anti-glare and texture feature addition preprocessing is critical. The 3D scanning results are used for geometry quality control of single panels and curved surfaces in craft hulls. Consequently, international rule-based weight estimation calculation sheets have been developed and applied for product weight quality control.

Probiotics have been shown to benefit human health through their role in improving the health of our body, especially gastrointestinal tracts. Probiotic bacteria are commonly incorporated into a variety of functional foods or drug formulations. Despite the extensive commercial exploitation of probiotic bacteria, there are still major knowledge gaps regarding the precise molecular composition and labeling of products. Several studies have reported issues concerning the accuracy of labeling of commercial probiotic products, including inaccurate taxonomy and cell counting. The study of microbiology and genomics has been accelerated by the invention of new technologies such as next generation sequencing (NGS) and flow cytometry (FACS). Recent many studies showed that NGS and FACS technology can be also applied for quality control of commercial probiotics. Here, we review advantages and limitations of current technologies for quality control of commercial probiotics. Principles and applications of new technologies are also introduced as alternative tools for the same purposes.

This paper aims to find out the problems and improvement direction of quality control and hygiene management of fishery products in Korea. For this reason, we conducted a comparative analysis of quality control and hygiene management of fishing, landing and selling between Japan and Korea, taking mackerel as an example. Japan has established a systematic freshness management system from fishing to landing (production) areas and consumption areas. On the other hand, Korea is not fully lead-managed in the production area after fishing, and is distributed in a state where the quality of the product is deteriorated due to exposure to room temperature. Accordingly, a certain quality can not be secured at the final consumption stage, and sanitary problems occur. In order to improve the quality control and hygiene management of the fishery products, the following needs to be improved. First, we will improve the fishing level freshness management system. Second, we will improve the quality control and hygiene management of fish in the production area and wholesale stage. Third, we will promote the introduction of innovative sales and consignment sales systems at the production stage. Fourth, we will establish a consistent low temperature distribution system from the production area to the wholesale stage from a long-term perspective. Fifth, we will promote the development and education of manuals on fish quality and hygiene management.

Quality requirements of manufactured products or parts are given in the form of specification limits on the quality characteristics of individual units. If a product is to meet the customer’s fitness for use criteria, it should be produced by a process which is stable or repeatable. In other words, it must be capable of operating with little variability around the target value or nominal value of the product’s quality characteristic. In order to maintain and improve product quality, we need to apply statistical process control techniques such as histogram, check sheet, Pareto chart, cause and effect diagram, or control charts. Among those techniques, the most important one is control charting. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts have been used in statistical process control (SPC) in industries for monitoring process shifts and supporting online measurement. The objective of this research is to apply Taguchi's quality loss function concept to cost based CUSUM control chart design. In this study, a modified quality loss function was developed to reflect quality loss situation where general quadratic loss curve is not appropriate. This research also provided a methodology for the design of CUSUM charts using Taguchi quality loss function concept based on the minimum cost per hour criterion. The new model differs from previous models in that the model assumes that quality loss is incurred even in the incontrol period. This model was compared with other cost based CUSUM models by Wu and Goel, According to numerical sensitivity analysis, the proposed model results in longer average run length in in-control period compared to the other two models.

PURPOSES: A methodology using a 3D-engineering technique was developed for implementation in paving Quality Control (QC) practice in bridge overlay paving. METHODS: The as-built surface of a concrete-box-girder bridge tends to exhibit a certain level of undulation or roughness. This is usually caused by the inevitable limitation that camber prediction and construction cannot be perfectly matched. The undulation itself would not be a severe defect in a bridge structure, but it results in a challenge for achieving overlay pavement qualities such as pavement thickness and smoothness. One advantage of the 3D-engineering technique is that it allowed identification in advance, of conditions that will interfere with construction, thus preventing non-conformance qualities from being re-worked. RESULTS : Utilizing this technique, overlay paving was virtually simulated in advance, and insufficient thickness areas and rough sections were visually identified. Paving quantities were automatically computed. Paving level alternatives were correspondingly established based on analysis of the quantitative and 3D visual outputs. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that this methodology could be successfully utilized for optimizing paving quantity and quality

The use of Project Management Information System (PMIS) is increasing in project management industries such as construction, defense, manufacturing, software development, telecommunication, etc. It is generally known that PMIS helps to improve the quality of decision making in project management, and consequently improves the project performance. However, how much and which parts of project management performance are affected by PMIS still need to be studied further. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of PMIS quality on project management performance. We collected data from various project based industries such as construction, defense, manufacturing, software development and telecommunication by using survey questionnaire. PMIS quality was measured in three dimensions. They are system quality, information quality and service quality. Project management performance was measured in nine variables such as time reduction, work accuracy, cost management, etc. Statistical analyses such as multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that PMIS quality had significant impacts on the project management performance and user satisfaction. It was notable that only two dimensions out of the three PMIS quality dimensions, system quality and information quality, affected the project management performance. Also, it was found that PM performance played a mediating role between PMIS and user satisfaction, and between PMIS and reuse intention. The contribution of this research is that it helps to clarify what aspects of PMIS affect the project management performance and user satisfaction.

The Korean buffet restaurant, which was developed by combining the Korean food and a buffet, allows a large menu to be enjoyed at a reasonable price and has become popular with men and women, young and old, and become a new type of eating out. This study examined the effects of the waiting time management and menu quality on the customer satisfaction and re-visit intention in a Korean buffet restaurant to help quality improvement and development of Korean buffet restaurants. The customer satisfaction and re-visit intention only had a significant effect on the staff attitude toward waiting time. Hygiene, sensory factor, and variety of menu quality were significantly related to customer satisfaction and revisit intention, respectively. In addition, satisfaction with food and service had a significant effect on the re-visit intention and customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to establish a virtuous cycle structure that will improve the re-visit intention by satisfying customers through waiting time management and menu quality for the development of Korean buffet restaurants.

모란은 항염증작용, 항알레르기작용, 항균작용, 중추억제, 위액분비억제, 진경작용 등의 약리활성이 있을 뿐 아니라 항산화작용, 미백작용 등이 보고되면서 화장품 원료, 미용식품으로 다양하게 활용 가능성이 탐색되고 있다. 모란의 뿌리, 잎 및 꽃에서 추출용매와 온도, 시간에 따른 추출액 중 성분의 함량 변화를 비교하였다. Paeoniflorin과 paeonol을 지표성분으로 하여 두 성분의 함량을 동시에 정량분석하기 위한 HPLC 분석법을 설정하고 분석 배치마다 검량선과 QC용 검체를 사용하여 시스템적합성을 확인하면서 시료 분석을 실시하였다. Paeonol은 뿌리에서만 검출되었고 잎과 꽃에서는 검출되지 않았으며, paeoniflorin은 잎, 꽃에서의 농도가 뿌리에서보다 높았다. 추출용매와 섞을 때 뿌리의 절도는 구입 당시의 조각을 그대로 사용할 때보다 적당한 크기로 분쇄한 후 사용할 때 두 성분 모두 높은 농도로 추출되었다. 추출용매로는 30% 1,3-butylene glycol을 사용할 때 농도가 가장 높았다. 추출온도와 시간은 고온, 장시간 일수록 농도가 높아지는 경향을 보였으나 75℃, 4 h 이상에서는 농도 상승이 완만했으며, paeonol은 8 h까 지 지속적으로 농도가 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 뿌리, 잎, 꽃의 배합 비율은 2+2+1g/0.5kg로 할 때 두 지표성분의 함량 기준에 도달 가능하다고 판단하였다. 최종적으로 원재료를 2+2+1g/0.5kg로 배합하고 30% 1,3-butylene glycol을 추출용매로 사용하여 75℃에서 4 h 동안 추출하는 방법이 두 지표성분의 활성 농도 기준과 원재료 및 제조공정상의 비용을 함께 고려할 때 적절한 조건이라고 판단하였고, 이 조건에서 10 kg 규모까지 추출액 제조 단위를 스케일업 하였다.

미국 정부는 2011년 식품안전현대화법(FSMA, Food Safety Modernization Act)을 제정하였으며 단계적으로 실시 및 실시예정에 있다. 이중 농산물안전(Produce Safety) 최종규칙은 농산물 재배, 수확, 포장 및 보관과 관련된 생물학적 위해요소에 초점을 맞추고 있는데, 영농규모 등에 따라 2017년 1월부터 단계적으로 시행되고 있다. FSMA 의 농산물안전 규칙 중 현장에서 준수해야 하는 조항을 55개 선별하여 한국 GAP기준과 비교한 결과, 비교 대상 인 두 개의 기준이 조항별 관리사항에 대해 1:1로 단순비교하기에는 어려운 점이 있으나 상당수의 한국 GAP기준이 대응이 가능하다. 다만 한국 GAP기준은 포괄적 기준으로 평가자에 따라 다른 판단을 할 여지가 많으므로 기준의 세부 사항의 보강이 필요하다. 조항별로 보면, 작업자 안전위생(FSMA Subpart D)에 대하여 한국 GAP기준은 가장 높게 대응이 되며, 그 다음으로는 가축 및 야생 동물(FSMA Subpart I), 건물·장비·도구(FSMA Subpart L), 재배·수확 등의 활동(FSMA Subpart K) 순으로 대응이 되고 있다. 그러나, 농업용수 관리(FSMA Subpart E)와 관리자의 자격 및 교육(FSMA Subpart C)에 대해서는 다소 미 흡한 실정이며, 가축분뇨기반 퇴비 관리(FSMA Subpart F) 에 대해서는 대응이 취약한 편이다. FSMA 규칙은 인증 기준은 아니나, 세계적으로 식품안전의 표준을 선도하는 미국이 제시한 규칙인 만큼 파급력이 상당할 것으로 예상 된다. 따라서 국내 농산물 기준 중 FSMA 규칙에서 강조 하는 미생물적 안전성에 대응하는 기준이 GAP기준이므로 한국 GAP기준의 재검토를 통해 우리 농산물의 품질 향상 및 수출확대에 도움이 되기를 바란다.

국가표준 정책 변화의 일환으로 제품의 품질관리 및 생산성 향상을 위한 공급자 위주의 제품표준 등에 대하여 단체표준으로 전환하고자 2013년 국가표준 관리시스템을 전면 개편하기 시작하였고 그 결과, 가열 아스팔트 혼합물(이하 아스콘)에 대한 한국산업표준(KS F 2349)은 폐지되고 단체표준(SPS-KAI0002-F2349-5687)으로 전환되었다. 국내에서 아스콘 제품을 생산·제조 및 판매하는 인증업체는 표 1에서 보는 바와 같이 2003년 389개 한국산업표준(KS : Korean Industrial Standards)인증 업체를 시작으로 해마다 평균 약 9.5개의 신규인증업체가 증가하여 2017년 현재 총 513개 아스팔트 플랜트에서 아스콘 품목에 대한 단체표준인증을 유지하며 관련 제품 등을 생산·제조 및 판매하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는, 국내 가열 아스팔트 혼합물을 생산·제조 및 판매하는 전체 513개 인증업체에 대한 품질관리 현황을 확인하고자 본 연합회에서 실시하고 있는 단체표준 사후관리 정기심사 결과(2015년∼2016년) 중, 제품의 품질관리에 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 주요 제조·검사설비 등에 대한 적정성 여부와 그림 1에서 나타낸 바와 같이 재료계량 검사결과(계량신뢰도) 및 생산된 아스팔트 혼합물을 공인시험기관에 의뢰한 시험결과(인장강도비 외) 등을 바탕으로 단체표준 전환 후 국내 아스팔트 플랜트의 전반적인 품질관리 현황 등을 분석하였다.

The scope of this study is the construction conformity assessment system according to the new paradigm of construction management To minimize the differences between domestic and international state, construction Conformity Assessment is subdivided into system certification and product certification. For the former, WASCON(Worldwide Assessment System of Construction Quality Maturity Stage) is applied. For the latter, AQUA(Advanced Quality Assessment System) was developed and adopted to model project for demonstration. Both systems are designed to enable quantified rating, integrated into PQCS(Project Quality Certification), which is an advanced project quality certification system. The construction work observing PQCS will gain quality score on its own quality certificate(Quality mark on construction itself or facilities is also available, if needed or preferred by customers). This Quality Rating System will inspire and encourage any related parties. PQCS score would let supplier/constructor recognize how much themselves are operating effectively and efficiently, offering them the opportunity of redeeming their weaknesses.
