The purpose of this study is to present the advanced plans to get the activation of the domestic furniture manufacture, considering the conditions of the furniture market and business environments before and after IMF Economic Crisis. These are necessary to get over some problems which result in reduction of demand, consumption, and investment under the recession. The furniture manufacture should take the occasion as a pertinent opportunity to strengthen the competitive edge and step up the exploration of the international markets. It is reasonable to conclude that the advanced plans should be designed, implemented, and expanded through the inducement of the government, manufacturers, and foreign investors.

2009년 인천지역의 목재 및 나무제품제조업과 가구 제조업체는 총 1,285개로 각각 전국 목재 관련 제조업체의 10.4%와 6.7%를 차지하여, 일반 제조업의 전국비중 6.1%에 비해 높은 비율을 보이고 있다. 또한 종사자 수 역시 총 13,202명으로 각각 전국 목재 관련 제조업체의 21.0%와 9.9%로 인천이 큰 비중 차지하고 있다. 한국은행(2009)에서 발표한 지역별 산업 산출액 기준으로도 인천지역의 산출액은 수도권의 12.5%, 전국의 5.5%를 차지하고 있는데, 이중 가구 기타제조업(12.8%), 목재 종이(10.6%) 등은 전국에 비해 상대적으로 높은 비중을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 친환경 저탄소정책으로 다시금 부각되고 있는 천연목재를 기반으로 한 인천지역 목재산업을 육성할 수 있는 대안으로 인천항을 중심으로 한 목재산업 클러스터화를 위한 고찰을 수행하고자 관련 연구 문헌 및 설문 조사를 기반으로 목재산업단지 조성의 필요성과 경제적 파급효과를 제시하고자 한다.

From 1982, the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor has executed the risk assessment regulation for manufacturing industries. When a manufacturing company install, transfer, or modify the major facilities, the program inspects and verifies safety of the working place to ensure safety against risks. This study performed cost-benefit analysis of the program for the eight industrial categories that were free from the program. The cost-benefit analysis is the basic method to estimate the effect of the policy execution, and used to justify the policy effectiveness. As a result, there is the biggest benefit in the manufacture of basic metal products and then motor vehicles, trailers and semitrailers, other manufacturing, other machinery and equipment, wood products of wood and cork, rubber and plastic products, food products, furniture in order. Thus the hazard prevention program should be applied into the 8 industrial categories in order to strengthen national competitiveness, protect labors's safety, reduce the social cost and improve the welfare.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of the regional location factors to the lifecycle of manufacturing firms in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. A firm has a lifecycle in common like a household. The firm's lifecycle is divided into 4 sections such as formation, dissolution, growth and decline for the manufacturing firms as light industry, heavy industry and high-tech industry. In addition, the regional location factors are divided into 4 categories. As a result of this research, there are differences for the statistically significant location factors. In addition, the value for the explanation ability of each multiple linear regression model (adj. $R^2$) was high in the formation and growth sections than in dissolution and decline sections. It means that the local governments need differentiated policies considering their regional characteristics for the location factors by firm's lifecycle when they established policies for industry or job. From the view point of the public sectors, it is much important to focus on formation and growth of firms.

도장작업은 기계 기구, 금속, 자동차, 전기 전자, 선박, 가구제조업 등 각종 사업장에서 많이 취급되고 있는 작업으로서 취급물질이 대부분 합성수지 유기용매 등 인화성 또는 가연성 액체이거나 가연성 분체로서 용매 또는 분진으로 인한 폭발 화재의 위험성이 아주 높은 실정이다. 보통 4류 위험물의 유증기는 공기보다 무겁다 라는 생각으로 발생된 모든 유증기는 위험물 인근에 체류할 것이라는 생각을 하지만 상온에서 증발한 유증기 대부분은 인근의 대기와의 밀도차에 의해 주변으로 흩어지거나 연소하고 중량(重量)의 유증기만이 남아 화재조사에서 중요한 단서로 역할을 한다. 대부분분의 페인트 제품이 가열과 동시에 끊기 시작해서 비등점 측정이 어려웠고 발화점이 비슷한 다른 페인트에 비해 중량(重量)유증기 발생이 단시간 동안 낮은 온도에서 많이 발생한 것은 페인트의 안료가 유증기 발생을 방해해서 시너의 유증기 발생량과 동일한 양의 페인트 유증기 발생시간이 더 걸린 것 같다. 대부분의 유증기는 집진시설을 통해 A/C타워의 활성탄에 흡착되어 제거된다. 하지만 슬러지에 남아있는 희석제는 A/C타워를 정지하고 집진시설등의 배관에 있는 슬러지 청소 과정에서 주위 열원에 의해 많은 유증기를 발생하여 화재의 위험성이 존재함으로 작업자의 각별한 주의가 필요하다.

This study was carried out from January to March in 1996 to investigate subjective symptoms of cumulative trauma disorder (CTD). This survey was done by questionnaire of the Personal Ergonomics Profiles (PEP), which was developed by Johnson & Johnson. Number of respondents was 365 employees who were working in three furniture manufactories in Kwangjoo at Province Kyungki. The results were as follows : 1. There was no difference between clerical and labor workers in pain frequencies classified by general characteristics. However, labor workers showed statistically significant differences between working process in pain frequencies. Employees undertaking lifting work showed highest scores in frequencies of pain complaints. Comparing the number of pain occurrences, the married and the female was resulted in high score than the single and the male. There was no differences between ages and working experiences in group. 2. According to the mean frequency of body pain, the back was the most part to be complained in 1. 16 and followed by shoulder, neck, knee, wrist/hand, and forearm in order. Although, the study results showed that the workers working in furniture manufacture were not shown that they have had severe CTD, the female, the married and the the lifting workers were indicated as risk groups to CTD. Therefore, the development of backache prevention programe is necessary to manage pain control and to reduce health risks of CTD employees in their work environment.

Formaldehyde is defined as carcinogen causing leukaemia, lymphoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma at high level of exposure. Furniture-manufacturing workers can be exposed to formaldehyde, which implies serious impact on health of the workers. The authors carried out ambient monitoring of formaldehyde in the field, and identified the source of formaldehyde generated during the working process by testing the condition in the laboratory settings. After sampling formaldehyde in the air with 2,4-DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) coated silica gel, we extracted formaldehyde derivative with acetonitrile and analyzed the extract using HPLC with UV detector at 360 nm. Formaldehyde was separated by ACQUITY UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min using 45% acetonitrile as mobile phase. The workers were exposed to higher level of formaldehyde than normal air. Formaldehyde up to 0.31 ppm was detected in the process of veneer attachment, which exceeded 0.3 ppm, the ceiling value of ACGIH standard. The laboratory test of measuring formaldehyde generated from the glue and veneer used in the attachment process resulted in more formaldehyde generation as the temperature increased, and more from the veneer. Heating the veneer to $100-150^{\circ}C$ following the real condition of the manufacturing site generated 1.14-2.70 ppm of formaldehyde from the sample, which was 2-5 times higher level than Korean limit of exposure (0.5 ppm). As the workers handling and processing the veneer which was produced by wet process had high possibility to be exposed to formaldehyde, urgent improvement and management of working environment of furniture manufacturer is demanded.

Currently many companies have realized that producing efficient product does not guarantee the market differentiation. Realizing the problem, those companies are actively pursuing the servitization strategy. However complexities in selecting the right service areas among many choices along with in developing service strategies and organizational structures remain unsolved to many manufacturing companies. This paper is about an exploratory study in which, through in-depth case analysis, we observed how a manufacturing company successfully managed to transform to the service company. Through this study, we have found that successful transformation needs to resolve many conflicting issues such as channels among existing and new sales front, organizational restructuring due to conflicting in evaluation and human resource requirements required for responding to customers in the field. This 'Hansam' case study provides managers with some guidelines as to how to transform to the service company.
