Abstract

Recently, as the introduction of smart factories spreads, interest and research on the positive and negative effects of smart factory introduction are increasing. This study quantitatively analyzed the changes in the workplace innovation index following the introduction of smart factory for 750 companies in the 4 categories of the workplace innovation index. Overall, the workplace innovation index of companies that introduced smart factory was higher than those that did not, and there was a statistically significant difference, especially in the work organization. In addition, as a result of analyzing the effects of smart factory introduction and workplace innovation consulting together, in the case of labor-management relations and work organization, the introduction of a smart factory and consulting were found to match the improvement of the workplace innovation index.

최근 스마트공장 도입이 확산됨에 따라 스마트공장 도입에 대한 긍정적, 부정적 영향에 대한 관심과 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 750개 기업을 대상으로 일터혁신지수 하위 4개 부문(노사관계, 인적자원관리, 인적자원개발, 작업조직)별로 스마트공장 도입에 따른 일터혁신지수의 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 전반적으로 스마트공장을 도입한 기업의 일터혁신지수가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 높게(0.5~9.4점) 나타났으며 특히 작업조직부분에서는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 또한 스마트공장 도입과 일터혁신 컨설팅의 영향을 함께 분석한 결과, 노사관계부문과 작업조직부문의 경우 스마트공장을 도입하고 컨설팅을 받은 것이 일터혁신지수 향상에 부합하는 결과를 보였다.
