Promoting policy to involve plant EPC companies for package deal has been studied to acquire overseas energy resources. The effectiveness of the package deal with the plant EPC companies has not been successful because the participation of the plant EPC companies is very rare. It is difficult for the plant EPC companies to join the package deal due to the lack of the fully responsible organization to support the plant EPC companies participating in a package deal. The followings are suggested as the ways to promote the participation of the plant EPC companies for package deal in this study; 1) financial support of the government for plant EPC companies 2) political support of the government for plant EPC companies 3) specialization of the advanced countries for public-private cooperation.

중동지역을 필두로 하여, 국내건설사들은 시공분야에서의 높은 경쟁력을 바탕으로 매년 놀라운 속도로 해외 플랜트 EPC 건설시장에서의 점유율을 높여 나가고 있다. 2012년에는 전 세계 건설시장의 8.1%를 점유하며, 이탈리아를 제치고 역대 최고인 세계 6위의 건설 강국으로서의 면모를 과시하기도 하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 그간 수주 자체를 목적으로 한 저가입찰 등과 같이 리스크를 간과한 무리한 수주는 폭탄의 뇌관을 건드리는 격이 되었고, 결국 2013년 일부 대형 건설업체들은 해외 사업장에서 대규모 손실을 경험하였다. 이와 더불어, 해외 대규모 EPC 플랜트 사업의 수주금액이 급증하여 한 개의 사업에서 발생되는 손실이 기업의 총체적 경영에도 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있게 됨에 따라, EPC 플랜트 건설사업의 잠재 손실의 원인을 최소화하고 건설사들의 지속적인 성장을 가능하게하기 위해서 리스크를 효율적으로 관리해야 하는 필요성은 더욱 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 해외건설시장 중, 중동지역에서 EPC 형태로 발주되는 발전플랜트 건설사업의 리스크 요인들을 발굴하고, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 사용하여 리스크 요인들 간의 우선순위를 정량적으로 도출하여, 국내건설사들이 중동지역의 EPC 사업수행 현장에서 효율적으로 리스크를 관리할 수 있도록 도움을 주고자 하였다.

This study aims to develop a strategy for South Korean companies to penetrate into the global NPP(nuclear power plant) market with their strength as the sixth biggest nuclear power generator in the world. With 20 nuclear plants in commercial operation and 6 more in construction, South Korea has the best technology in construction and operation of NPP. Despite these capabilities as demonstrated on its domestic market, Korean companies' constraint to enter and play a key role in global NPP market would be the lack of experience in overseas NPP projects, original technologies, and diplomatic effectiveness. This study analyzes the competitiveness of Korean standardized nuclear power plant, construction management skills, construction technologies, manufacturing equipment and materials and operation skills. In this research the current status of existing NPP and the forecast of building NPP according to countries was analyzed in order to work out strategies with technology, cost-effectiveness, and diplomatic consideration.

The public-private cooperation in package deal has been studied for the overseas energy resources acquisition. The effectiveness of the package deal has not been successful because the deal has led by the government organizations. It is difficult for the plant EPC companies to join the packaged deal due to the lack of the whole responsibility organization to support the participation of the package deal. The followings are suggested as the ways to strengthen of the public-private cooperation in this study. 1) the relevant public enterprise privatization 2) establishment of the joint model for leading the plant EPC companies to the package deal 3) establishment of the whole responsibility organization for the public-private cooperation.

EPC contractors have made continuous efforts to develop integrated project execution methods to improve the performance of industrial plant project. In particular, the concept of Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) has been recently presented by readjusting the existing "Work Packaging" concept as part of the integrated project execution method from the project life-cycle perspective. However, Korean EPC contractors are still unfamiliar with the AWP implementation. Thus, this study aims to identify the organizational competency factor for effective implementation of AWP. For this purpose, first, this study identified the expected risks in AWP project and the 29 organizational competency factors to manage risks. Second, five experts verified the suitability of factors and supplemented the factors. Finally, 37 factors were identified as organizational competency factors for implementing AWP.

Recently, it has increased projects in the Oil and Gas industry as growing plant of overseas construction market. Therefore, domestic companies need to set some aggressive plans up that secure competitiveness of international plant business such as enhancing productivity, technological ability and statistical management. Specifically in the Oil and Gas industry of overseas plant business requires implying information in EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction, below EPC) more, but it has not been suggested an appropriate breakdown system for contents that manages the information each EPC phase, which lead to problems such as revision of design document, occurring duplicated work and omissions of each participant. For these problems, we find market share decreasing and competitiveness running down. Thus, for increasing practical use of contents management system and construction industry's information, this paper suggests a contents breakdown system based on BPM (Business Process Management), defines business process and systematizing knowledge needed, and finally analyzing contents information that establish information among industrial facilities in Design phase which is the weakest part of domestic companies.

Power plant engineering industry obtains EPC plan project and delivers results about electricity, measurement, machinery, and piping and so on. Its works are taken by projects. Although power plant engineering composes 2~5% of whole EPC project cost, it's one of the fundamentals because it affects process after planning step a lot. However, domestic power plant engineering companies' project performance ability is insufficient and there's a need for systematic performance. Thus, this study defined related factors of successful performance and analyzed the priority among them through analytical hierarchy process. All respondents recognized experience, knowledge, and communication as important factors. Administrators considered knowledge, experience, and communication. But hands-on workers considered experience, knowledge, human resources. Those who have experience in oversea project considered process, experience, human resources. However those who don't have experience in oversea project considered knowledge, experience, and communication. Recognition of important factors varies by the position and work experience of members.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the issues related to the supply chain management in plant engineering industry, and propose the framework to improve the project efficiency. The preliminary case study shows that EPC's fragmented nature, lack of coordination and information sharing, and lack of proper risk and change management contribute to project delay and cost overrun. To examine the level of informatization and information sharing in supply chain, survey responses from the suppliers and subcontractors have been collected. The statistical results show that information sharing, early involvement in design process and awareness in SCM have influenced the level of collaboration, but supplier assessment and informatization have no impact on the collaboration. A conceptual model is proposed in order to facilitate the integration of design, procurement and construction functions. Implications from the study are also provided.
