원자력발전소 고장 및 불시정지 사례의 상당수가 시스템과 연계되어 인간에 의해 수행되는 운전, 유지보수, 관리와 관련된 인적오류에 기인하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 인적오류는 원자력발전소의 안전성과 효율성의 유지에 중요한 변수로 작용하며 불시정지에 의한 경제적 손실과 사회적 충격을 초래 하게 된다. 특히, 국내 원자력발전소가 외국설계라는 점과 인적요인에 대한 체계적인 평가가 이루어 지 지 않은 상태에서 운영중인 것을 감안하면, 인적요인의 국가별 차이에서 발생가능한 인적오류 유발요인 이 상존하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 인적오류의 중요성에 비해 국내 원자력 발전소의 인적오류에 대 한 연구는 지금까지 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 국내 원자력발전소에서 발생하는 인적 오류의 분석과 그 분석결과를 응용하기 위한 기술개발의 첫단계로, 기존 국외의 인적오류연구방법론 비교 분석, 국내 원전의 인적오류 발생현황 및 관련보고체계 분석, 등을 수행하여 국내 원자력발전소의 인적오류 분석 및 응용기술개발을 위한 연구개발 방향을 정립하였다. 기존 국외의 인적오류연구방법론 비교분석에서는, 인적오류에 대한 연구를 그 접근 방식에 따라 관리적 접근방식, 정량적 접근방식, 정성적 접근방식의 세가지로 분류하여, 각 접근방식에 대한 분석대상, 분석방식, 수행목적 등, 각 접근방식의 특징과 이에따른 실효성을 분석하였다. 그리고, 국내 원전의 인적오류 발생현황 및 관련보고체계분석에서는, 국내 원자력발전소에서 발생한 고장/정지 사건이 내포하고 있는 인적오류의 주요 형태를 파악하였으며, 또한, 인적오류연구 수행에 필수적인 인적오류사례원으로서 국내 원전에서의 인적오류 관련 보고체계에 대한 운용현황을 파악하고 그 유용성을 조사하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여, 국내에 적용가능한 인적오류 분석기술개발 추진을 위한 제약 조건과 이러한 제약조건을 극복하고 인적오류 분석기술 수준을 향상시키기 위한 필요충분조건을 파악하였으며, 이 필요충분조건을 고려하여 인적오류 분석기법개발, 인적 오류 사례전파 및 자료관리 기술개발, 인적오류 사례수집 기술개발, 등을 주요 골자로 하는 인적오류 분석기술개발의 기본 방향을 설정하였다. 이와 아울러, 오류사례의 수집, 상세분석, 자료의 저장 및 응용을 위한 hardware 및 software 환경을 체계화하였다.

As the issuance of type certificate and production certificate for KC-100 Naraon, Korea is ranked as the State of Design and the State of Manufacture for civil aircraft specified in the Convention on International Civil Aviation. It means that another responsibilities are imposed and new frameworks are required for the airworthiness management including the continuing airworthiness. So far the minimum airworthiness management system was sufficient as the State of Registry for the aircraft operations and safety management. However, we need to establish and maintain the airworthiness management system for the effective certification and oversight of our air operators and approval holders. This paper introduces the new obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, reviews the current aviation regulations and procedures and presents the strategy for the establishment of the regulatory system to ensure the airworthiness of aircraft.

To operate a large structure or a high-rise building, elevator is essential. Nevertheless, elevator breakdowns or accidents have been consistently reported. When the accidents are not serious, the records are not reported and cumulated in the Korea Elevator Safety Agency. Additionally, in case of replacement or repair of the parts of elevator, conflicts about the person responsible for the expense of the replacement or repair are frequently occurred. However the record of accidents is not decreasing and the conflict about the fund of elevator repair is serious. So, it is needed to reduce the elevator accidents or malfunction, the operation stop of the elevator, the conflict between building owners and users. Therefore, in this study, the elevator maintenance procedures during defect liability period, the notification procedure in case of breakdown or accident elevator, the direction of elevator maintenance contracts, the direction of the elevator inspection were suggested.

FRACAS(Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System) has been applied in various industries to improve the reliability of the systems. FRACAS is effective in improving reliability by repeating failure analysis, proper corrective action, and result verification for identified failures. However, FRACAS has many limitations in terms of process, data collection and management to be integrated into the existing development environment. In the domestic defense industry, studies on the development of FRACAS system and process improvement have been conducted to solve the difficulties of applying FRACAS, but most of them are concentrated in the operation/maintenance phase. Since FRACAS should be conducted in consideration of TLCSM(Total Life Cycle System Management), it is necessary to study the reference architecture so that FRACAS can be applied from the early design phase. In this paper, we studied the TLCSM-based integrated architecture considering the system life cycle phases, FRACAS closed-loop process, and FRACAS essentials in order to effectively apply FRACAS throughout the life cycle of defense systems. The proposed architecture was used as a reference model for FRACAS in a shipboard combat system.

Open Network Management Systems (NMS) are not sufficient to use in a large and complex computer network environment because many-year experiences and skills are requeired for using NMS. And also, customizing NMS means a difficult programming with API(Application programming Interface) supplied by NMs. The more intelligent NMS you want, the more difficult programming you must do. In this paper, we proposed an intelligent network management system suign a structure of multiple and distributed expert systems, so as to represent expertises and knowledges of network managers into rule format, maintain the knowledgesstructurally and perform the network managmenet intelligently. expert system for amanaging computer network should understand the management protocol, analyze messages from agents, take a proper action, and report the situations by pre-defined network operation principle and strategy. A multiple expert sytem is composed of monitor expert module, fault expert module and manager expert module which are controlled by enconded knowledges.

The railway signaling system, which controls the course of trains and the distance between trains, is a safety critical system of the railway system because derailment or collision of trains can occur if unsafe failure is generated by any fault. The international standards of reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety of railway applications require that the safety of functions be guaranteed in safety critical systems; system reliability and safety are quantitatively estimated and demonstrated by the failure rates of devices. The development of technology has accelerated the development of railway signaling systems. Existing devices, which have already been verified as to their safety, are applied with special user requirements to reflect the new operation scenario. It is found that the reliability and safety of the devices are different depending on individual application. Therefore, the reliability of the railway signaling system must be considered while complying with the international standards; this requires that the initial failure rate be estimated and demonstrated using fault data gathered over several years. This paper shows a method for demonstrating the initial estimated failure rate and suggests a fault data collection method and an overall process that is based on probability.

The demolition of domestic infrastructures mirrors other significant construction initiatives in presenting a markedly high accident rate. A comprehensive investigation into the origins of such accidents is crucial for the prevention of future incidents. Upon detailed inspection, the causes of demolition construction accidents are multifarious, encompassing unsafe worker behavior, hazardous conditions, psychological and physical states, and site management deficiencies. While statistics relating to demolition construction accidents are consistently collated and reported, there exists an exigent need for a more foundational cause categorization system based on accident type. Drawing from Heinrich's Domino Theory, this study classifies the origins of accidents(unsafe behavior, unsafe conditions) and human errors(human factors) as per the type of accidents experienced during demolition construction. In this study, a three-step model of QFD-FMEA(Quality Function Deployment - Failure Mode Effect Analysis) is employed to systematically categorize accident causes according to the types of accidents that occur during demolition construction. The QFD-FMEA method offers a technique for cause classification at each stage of the demolition process, including direct causes(unsafe behavior, unsafe environment), and human errors(human factors) through a tri-stage process. The results of this accident cause classification can serve as safety knowledge and reference checklists for accident prevention efforts.
