A Study on Model Development for SW Human Resources Development using Supply Chain Management Model

SCM 모델을 이용한 SW인력양성 모형개발 연구

This article introduces a recent innovation in Korea's human resources development policy in the SW sector. Facing serious problems in cultivating SW engineers such as a mismatch in supply and demand of SW workers, shortage of globally competitive SW professionals, and insufficient education and training of university graduates, the Korean government has decided to adopt a new paradigm in national SW engineering education, based on supply chain management (SCM) in manufacturing. SCM has been a major component of the corporate competitive strategy, enhancing organizational productiveness and responsiveness in a highly competitive environment. It weighs improving competitiveness of the supply chain as a whole via long-term commitment to supply chain relationships and a cooperative, integrated approach to business processes. These characteristics of SCM are believed to provide insight into a more effective IT education and university-industry collaboration. On the basis of the SCM literature, a framework for industry-oriented SW human resources development is designed, and then applied in the case of nurturing computer-software engineers in Korea. This approach is expected to fumish valuable implications not only to Korean policy makers, but also to other countries making similar efforts to enhance the effectiveness and flexibility in human resources development. The construction of SCM-based SW HRD model is first trial to apply SCM into SW HRD field. The model is divided into three kinds of primary activities and two kinds of supportive activities in the field of value chain such as SW HRD Council, SW demand and supply plan establishment and the integration of SW engineering capabilities that contribute the reduction of the skill and job matching through SW HR demand and supply collaboration.

본 논문은 SW인력수급의 질적, 양적 불일치를 해소하고 산학협력을 기반으로 하는 인력양성을 위해 공급망관리(Supply Chain Management) 모델에 대한 개념을 SW인력정책에 적용하였다. 대학을 공급자로 기업을 수요자로 인식하고, 대학과 기업간의 산학협업을 통해 수요지향적 SW인력 양성 시스템을 구축하는 최적의 공급망 관리로 새롭게 접근하였다. 산업체 수요를 반영하기 위해 SW분야 산학연관 전문가로 구성된 인력양성정책협의회를 통해 인력수요계획을 수립하고, 이를 대학 내 수요 지향적 교과목개발 및 교과과정개편에 반영하여 전공역량이 강화되는 공학인증으로 유도하였다. 또한 산학협력 프로젝트 수행을 통해 취업으로 이루어져 산업체가 필요한 인력을 배출하는 수급매칭 프로세스인 인력양성 SCM모델의 가치사슬(Value Chain)을 제시하였다.
