This study aims to develop a comprehensive predictive model for Digital Quality Management (DQM) and to analyze the impact of various quality activities on different levels of DQM. By employing the Classification And Regression Tree (CART) methodology, we are able to present predictive scenarios that elucidate how varying quantitative levels of quality activities influence the five major categories of DQM. The findings reveal that the operation level of quality circles and the promotion level of suggestion systems are pivotal in enhancing DQM levels. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that an effective reward system is crucial to maximizing the effectiveness of these quality activities. Through a quantitative approach, this study demonstrates that for ventures and small-medium enterprises, expanding suggestion systems and implementing robust reward mechanisms can significantly improve DQM levels, particularly when the operation of quality circles is challenging. The research provides valuable insights, indicating that even in the absence of fully operational quality circles, other mechanisms can still drive substantial improvements in DQM. These results are particularly relevant in the context of digital transformation, offering practical guidelines for enterprises to establish and refine their quality management strategies. By focusing on suggestion systems and rewards, businesses can effectively navigate the complexities of digital transformation and achieve higher levels of quality management.

The Severe Disaster Punishment Act had recently been established in order to promote safety and health (OSH) management system for severe accident prevention. OSH management system is primarily designed based on risk assessments; however, companies in industries have been experiencing difficulties in hazard identification and selecting proper measures for risk assessments and accident prevention. This study intended to introduce an accident analysis method based on epidemiological model in finding hazard and preventive measures. The accident analysis method employed in this study was proposed by the U.S. Department of Energy. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the accident analysis method, this study applied it to two accident cases occurred in construction and manufacturing industries. The application process and results of this study can be utilized in improving OSH management system and preventing severe accidents.

국내외로 첨단 ICT 융합기술이 농업 분야에 적용되기 시작 하면서, 시설원예 설비들이 고도화되고, 스마트팜 구축 기술 및 인력이 축적되기 시작하였다. 그러나 우리나라 농촌의 경 우, 농업생산 연령의 고령화, 국내 농촌 인구의 지속적인 유출, 저출산 등으로 인하여 스마트팜 확대 및 적용에 어려움이 많 은 실정이다. 따라서 공간 및 시간에 구속을 받지 않는 간편한 농업인 교육 프로그램이 필요하며, 최근 부상하고 있는 시뮬 레이션 기술을 활용한다면 농업 교육용 시뮬레이션 툴 개발도 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 온실 환경 제어 모델을 이용한 시뮬 레이션은 다양한 지역과 기상 조건 하에서 대상 온실의 열과 물질에너지의 상호작용을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있게 해준다. 본 연구에서는 온실 환경 제어 모델을 활용하여 외부 기상 데 이터를 통해 온실의 환경 변화를 예측하고 가상의 환경 제어시스템을 통해 환경 제어 시 필요한 에너지값들을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 이용자가 직접 맞춤형 환경 제어를 할 수 있도록 편의성을 고려한 사용자 인터페이스를 구축할 것이며, 실제 파프리카 재배 온실의 제어 요소들을 반 영할 수 있도록 설계될 것이다. 농업용 교육 시뮬레이션 툴을 최근 활발하게 연구가 이루어지고 있는 작물 생육 모델링 기 술 및 전산유체역학 기술과 융합하면 더욱 타당한 결과를 보 일 것이다.

Considering the domestic condition with small land area and high population density, it is necessary to develop technology that can reduce the disposal area than the deep geological disposal method. For this, KAERI is developing a nuclide management process that can reduce the environmental burden of spent fuel, and establishing an evaluation model that can evaluate the performance of various process options. It is expected that an optimal option of the nuclide management process can be derived from disposal perspective by applying the evaluation model. The mass flow between processing steps of the radionuclide management process is the basic quantity required to quantify the evaluation criteria. Therefore, we built a generalized block model on GoldSim, which can simulate mass flow of various radionuclide management process options. In addition to the mass flow, this model was established to derive the amount of wastes generated by each processing step, the composition of nuclides, and radiological properties (decay heat, radioactivity, etc.). The mass flow and waste property derived from the models are closely related to the factors that determine the area of disposal concepts. Based on this, a disposal area calculation model was established as a model to evaluate the effectiveness of the radionuclide management process on environmental burden reduction. For verification, three process options, which can manage radionuclides having high decay heat (Cs, Sr) or large volume (U), were selected and evaluated as reference processes. And two disposal options, deep geological disposal and deep borehole disposal concepts were considered to be linked with the processes. As a result, it was confirmed that the disposal area could be reduced in the process separating radionuclides having high decay heat. In the future, other evaluation models for economic viability and safety will be added in the GoldSim model.

Numerous spent nuclear fuels are generated every year in Korea. To solve the spent nuclear fuel problem within saturated temporary storage, the authorities are readying to build an interim storage and a permanent disposal facility in the country. At the same time, the authorities are readying to establish a management procedure for spent nuclear fuel. In the future, the authorities need to make and apply the Database of spent nuclear fuel to practice the management procedure. However, the structure of a traditional database is not reasonable for information management because it has a problem with listing data and identifying data features due to its structure. In addition, the traditional database always exists human error from working in Excel program by a human. Therefore, this research proposes a new standard information management model based on Semantic Web technique. Semantic Web uses a data structure named ontology. By using the ontology in the information database of the spent nuclear fuel, users, such as institutions related to management, could more easily recognize and understand the Database. Furthermore, since this task proceeds in the ontology construction program, the human error in the new model reduces rather than an environment of the traditional database.

In system design, it is not always possible that all decision makers can cooperate fully and thus avoid conflict. They each control a specified subset of design variables and seek to minimize their own cost functions subject to their individual constraints. However, a system management team makes every effort to coordinate multiple disciplines and overcome such noncooperative environment. Although full cooperation is difficult to achieve, noncooperation also should be avoided as possible. Our approach is to predict the results of their cooperation and generate approximate Pareto set for their multiple objectives. The Pareto set can be obtained according to the degree of one's conceding coupling variables in the other's favor. We employ approximation concept for modelling this coordination and the mutiobjective genetic algorithm for exploring the coupling variable space for obtaining an approximate Pareto set. The approximation management concept is also used for improving the accuracy of the Pareto set. The exploration for the coupling variable space is more efficient because of its smaller dimension than the design variable space. Also, our approach doesn't force the disciplines to change their own way of running analysis and synthesis tools. Since the decision making process is not sequential, the required time can be reduced comparing to the existing multidisciplinary design optimization. This approach is applied to some mathematical examples and structural optimization problems.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to contribute to the utilization of standards while considering the possible upgrade of a local system as a subject of the application. Therefore, this study aims to explore the possible application of LandInfra for a local road management (maintenance) system in the context of enabling the basis of 3D geospatial road information management in Korea. METHODS : Based on a review of related literature and international standards, an analysis of the current system is performed. After reviewing the LandInfra standard, an examination of corresponding classes between each data model (HMS and LandInfra) is performed for the mapping process. After the mapping process, a data model of the LandInfra-based HMS pavement data model is proposed. RESULTS : To apply the LandInfa to the HMS pavement part, an examination of each data model is performed. After this procedure, a LandInfra-based HMS pavement database schema is proposed in the context of enabling 3D geospatial road information management and maintenance, particularly for pavement management information. CONCLUSIONS : This paper presents how the LandInfra international open geospatial standard can be applied to the local road management system (HMS pavement part). As a result of this study, the LandInfra standard could be applied to the HMS; however, an encoding of the standard is required for conformance. Thus, further studies would be the encoding of the proposed data model for conformance with InfaGML encoding standards. In addition, a system prototype may be needed for complete application.

In this study, actual odor conditions were investigated in restaurants, livestock facilities, and major odor discharge facilities around daily life, and an odor modeling program was performed to find ways to improve odors in odor discharge facilities. The odor modeling results of restaurants around daily life showed that the complex odor concentration of large restaurants, which are close to residential areas, is higher than the acceptable complex odor standard at the receiving point. It was judged that a plan to increase the height of the restaurant odor outlets and a plan to reduce the amount of odor discharge was necessary. As a result of modeling the life odor of livestock housing facilities, when the distance from the housing facility is far away, the actual emission concentration is much lower than the acceptable emission concentration at the receiving point. It was judged that such facilities need to be reviewed for ways to reduce the emission of odorous substances, such as sealing the livestock housing facilities or improving the livestock environment. The main odor emission business sites that show complex odor concentration as 1,000 times or greater than the outlet odor emission standard were businesses associated with surfactant preparation, compounded feed manufacturing, textile dyeing processing, and waste disposal. Due to the separation distance and high exhaust gas flow rate, it was found that odor reduction measures are necessary. In this study, it was possible to present the allowable odor emission concentration at the discharge facilities such as restaurants, livestock houses, and industrial emission facilities by performing the process of verifying the discharge concentration of the actual discharge facility and the result of living odor modeling. It is believed that suitable odor management and prevention facilities can be operated.

PURPOSES : This study aims to create a pleasant environment by exploring ITS technology-based reduction measures to manage vehicles on the road, which are the main cause of traffic noise, while identifying the effects of traffic noise and various noise reduction measures. METHODS : A review of the literature identified the matters discussed mainly by reviewing the pre-examination and related statutes of traffic noise management measures at home and abroad. Furthermore, in the field investigation section, the variables affecting traffic noise (traffic volume, large vehicle mix rate, and driving speed) were investigated and the noise impact was analyzed using the three-dimensional (3D) noise prediction model (SounpdPLAN). RESULTS: The noise impact levels of the 3D noise prediction model were identified from various angles, such as horizontal and vertical, and traffic noise management measures for pre-real-time management and related DB utilization measures were proposed. CONCLUSIONS: Unlike the existing traffic noise management measures, which focus on follow-up management measures, it is believed that further research is needed to develop standards and related guidelines that meet regional characteristics by taking into account the characteristics of traffic noise and creating concrete and drawing action plans that can be used in future policies using ITS technology.

The government announced that it would ask the contractors not only the supplier but also the contractors to take the same responsibilities if they did not observe industrial accident safety measures from 2019. The semiconductor manufacturing process belongs to the representative disaster industry group in which the facility is directly located inside a closed space called clean room. According to previous studies, the semiconductor industry group used checklists for safety management of their suppliers. This study has developed a model for assessing suppliers by constructing a quantitative checklist item through the risk assessment methodology, laws and regulations. The evaluation model of the supplier set up through this study becomes the safety management standard in the semiconductor industry .Furthermore, it is applied to the partner companies in the operation of ISO 14001, 45001, I would like to apply it as a measure of performance management for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).
