As apparel manufacturers have increased their outsourcing garment making to cope with the rapid changing market, the information sharing has been the most important factor for the Korean apparel industry. The purpose of this research was to identify the properties and effects of information sharing system between Korean apparel manufactures and contractors. For this study, two apparel manufactures which actually used the information sharing systems were case-studied for the properties and effects of the information sharing system. The results of this study are shown as follows; 1) The companies ("J" and "S"), studied in this paper used sharing information mostly on order, delivery, and accounts within their contractors based on information sharing system. Company "J" turned out to have strong partnership with their contractors and developed more flexible manufacturing system and QR strategy. They shared not only basic transaction information but also quality inspection information and work-in-process information by using information sharing system. 2) The effects of information sharing system were proved as business transaction time reduced more than 60 percent, compared when staffs had to face to face, or use phone or fax to deliver documents. This study was investigated to provide an example which introduces information sharing system objectively and systematically to the apparel industry.

The high degree of uncertainty in customer demands forces companies of today to equip with a flexible and adaptable structural organization. It also has an influence on the configuration of the company's supply chains, since the members in supply chains are dependent to the goods customers need. If a company can not come up with the customers' requirements and their level of satisfaction, the competitiveness of the company will be weaken in the market places. To meet such conditions, therefore, reconfiguration of supply chains should be considered as an important factor in a complex, dynamic, and fluctuating market environment. In this paper, therefore, we have adapted a fractal concept to SCM to facilitate reconfiguration of supply chains. To do so, we have first introduce fractal-based SCM, referred to as fSCM. Then, we have described definitions of the reconfigurability in supply chains and the methodology of Dynamic Restructuring Process (DRP) in supply chains including specific strategies and constraints. An exemplary model will also be briefly illustrated to demonstrate how supply chains conduct DRP autonomously.

This study analyzes the business strategy of fast fashion through Zara, a successful fashion brand from Inditex Spain. An in-depth case approach is adopted based on extensive secondary research that includes literature and press releases published in Korean as well as English. The findings of this research demonstrate a speedy and flexible process occurring in the supply chain of its fast fashion business and the cooperation between the company's headquarters and international subsidiaries. Zara's headquarters executes four representative strategies: competitive market research, an integrated organizational structure, small quantity batch production, and a specialized distribution system. Zara's international subsidiaries execute their own four representative strategies: differentiated international expansion, independent human resource management, small but fundamental IT, and maximization of store resources. These two core parts intimately work together to satisfy target customers all over the world by bringing competitive advantages to the fashion business and represent a key concept of Zara's business strategy. The main drawbacks of case studies are limited validity and representativeness restraining the potential for making generalizations. However this case is considered sufficient to provide valuable insight and improve the understanding of operation strategy in fast fashion.

This study aims to investigate the impact of wide use of digital technology, in particular, the Internet, on innovation process and corporate strategy in electronics industry. The introduction of digital technology has changed innovation process, business model and organizational structure of the electronics companies. With the introduction of digital technology, the entire value chain of electronics industry from procurement, sales, and marketing to R&D and manufacturing has been restructured. E-commerce has been a major agenda for e-business. Recently, collaboration among electronics companies through e-marketplace has emerged as an important issue. A web-based e-commerce standard, so called RosettaNet, has been developed for facilitating e-transactions of electronics firms. The development of digital technology has dramatically increased the processing speed and sophisticated the virtual reality technology. As simulation becomes easier and more effective, the uncertainty and risk involved in R&D has decreased significantly. Another positive impact is closer cooperation between R&D and manufacturing functions. Taking advantage of automated and flexible production technology, has a new type of firm, so called, EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) emerged, whose strategic focus is on manufacturing only. The EMS can be seen as a kind of innovative organization, that is, a modular organization for production function. Digital technology has made convergence of computer and communication possible at early years but right now the convergence has been accelerated in extensive areas of communication, broadcasting, information appliances, software, contents, and services. Firms' effort for an innovative product and service has been intensified and the competition for a new standard product and service has become severe in electronics industry. Business activities are always realized in a specific organizational context. Accordingly building up innovation-friendly organization has emerged as a critical concern. Due to the striking decrease of transaction cost, a network type of organization has proliferated, and a business function turns into a modular organization. As a whole, digital technology has pushed electronics firms into developing their own business model, which takes consideration of standardization of business platform and their core competency.

Poly(ether-block-amide)(PEBAX$^{(R)}$)는 열가소성 탄성체(thermoplastic elastomer, TCU)로서 hard-rigid amide block과 soft-flexible ether block으로 구성되어 있으며, 분자량과 두 block간의 구성비에 따라 여러 종류가 있다. PEBAX$^{(R)}$는 분리막소재로 이용할 경우 PEBAX$^{(R)}$의 hard amide block은 우수한 기계적 특성과 선택도를, 그리고 soft ether block은 높은 투과도를 제공할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2종류의 PEBAX$^{(R)}$를 사용하여 기체 분리막을 제조하고, 종류에 따른 이산화탄소와 메탄의 투과특성 변화를 연구하였다. 또한 순수 PEBAX$^{(R)}$ 분리막의 투과특성을 향상시키기 위해 GPTMS ((3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane)를 무기전구체로 사용한 PEBAX$^{(R)}$/silica 하이브리드 분리막을 제조하여 이산화탄소와 메탄의 투과특성을 측정하였으며, 29Si-NMR, DSC, SEM 분석을 통해 무기전구체의 도입에 따른 고분자의 구조 변화를 연구하였다. 순수 PEBAX$^{(R)}$-1657과 PEBAX$^{(R)}$-2533 분리막의 투과도 측정 결과, 상대적으로 높은 ether block 비율의 PEBAX$^{(R)}$-2533 분리막의 투과도 계수가 높은 값을 가졌다. 상대적으로 높은 ether block 함량 때문에 고분자 사슬의 유연성이 보다 크기 때문으로 볼 수 있고, 이로 인한 확산선택도의 감소 효과에 의해 이상분리인자는 PEBAX$^{(R)}$-1657 분리막이 보다 높은 값을 가졌다. PEBAX$^{(R)}$/GPTMS 하이브리드 분리막의 기체투과도 측정 결과 $CO_2$와 $CH_4$ 모두 반응시간이 경과됨에 따라 $CO_2$에 비해 $CH_4$의 투과도 계수가 낮아졌으나 이상분리인자는 증가함을 보였다. GPTMS가 가수분해되어 생성된 silanol이 고분자 사슬에 침투되어 축합과정을 거치며 공유결합에 의해 사슬간 결합이 커지고 사슬의 운동성을 감소시켜 투과도 계수가 낮아진 것으로 보이며, PEO segment와 $CO_2$와의 강한 친화도에 의해 $CO_2$의 투과도계수가 상대적으로 덜 낮아진 것으로 판단된다. 순수 PEBAX$^{(R)}$-1657 순수 분리막의 결과와 비교하였을 때 이상분리인자는 4.5% 감소한 반면 $CO_2$ 투과도계수는 3.5배 증가하는 우수한 결과를 보였다.

The current challenge with which most shipyards are forced is to reduce the design time and the time-to-delivery because of explosive order of shipbuilding. Collaborative design and product data management have become important to reduce the lead time. Furthermore, enterprise information technologies such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM (Supply Chain management), and APS (Advanced Planning System) requires the collaborative environment. Also, manufacturing environment has been considered as a topic of strategic interest to get shorter product lifecycles in shipyards. Most shipyards have chosen an environment of ETO (Engineering To Order) strategy which designs and produces new products in response to various requirements of customer, rules and regulations. In the ATO (Assemble 10 Order) environment, most component parts have been designed to be procured or produced on the order requirement. The basic distinction between the ETO and ATO is the timing of the design. Thus in the ATO environment, it is more flexible in reducing the lead time to meet the specified requirements of customers. However, the ETO strategy requires new ship design process and ship product structures that are linked with the implementation of PLM. And, the function and architecture of current PLM solution has been designed based upon ATO environment properly. This paper presents the PLM architecture which effectively reflects the characteristics of shipbuilding. 4-layer architecture model is suggested to implement the PLM system. Also, implemented functions of ship PLM is explained in order to make a practical guidance for ship PLM implementation.

Transuranic nuclides (such as ²³⁸Pu, ²⁵²Cf, ²⁴⁹Bk, etc.) have a wide range of application in industry, medicine, agriculture, and other fields. However, due to the complex conversion chain and remarkable fission losses in the process of transuranic nuclides production, the generation amounts are extremely low. High flux reactor with high neutron flux and flexible irradiation channels, is regarded as the promising candidate for producing transuranic nuclides. It is of great significance to increase the conversion ratio of transuranic nuclides, resulting in higher efficiency and better economy. In this paper, we perform an optimization design evaluation of producing transuranic nuclides in high flux reactor, which includes optimization design of irradiation target and influence study of reactor core loading. It is demonstrated that the production rate increases with appropriately determined target material and target structure. The target loading scheme in the irradiation channel also has a significant influence on the production of transuranic nuclides.

Electronic voting machines (EVMs) are replacing research ballots due to the errors involved in the manual counting process and the lengthy time required to count the votes. Even though these digital recording electronic systems are advancements, they are vulnerable to tampering and electoral fraud. The suspected vulnerabilities in EVMs are the possibility of tampering with the EVM's memory chip or replacing it with a fake one, their simplicity, which allows them to be tampered with without requiring much skill, and the possibility of double voting. The vote data is shared among all network devices, and peer-to-peer verification is performed to ensure the vote data's authenticity. To successfully tamper with the system, all of the data stored in the nodes must be changed. This improves the proposed system's efficiency and dependability. Elections and voting are fundamental components of a democratic system. Various attempts have been made to make modern elections more flexible by utilizing digital technologies. The fundamental characteristics of free and fair elections are intractability, immutability, transparency, and the privacy of the actors involved. This corresponds to a few of the many characteristics of blockchain-like decentralized ownership, such as chain immutability, anonymity, and distributed ledger. This working research attempts to conduct a comparative analysis of various blockchain technologies in development and propose a 'Blockchain-based Electronic Voting System' solution by weighing these technologies based on the need for the proposed solution. The primary goal of this research is to present a robust blockchain-based election mechanism that is not only reliable but also adaptable to current needs.

Poly(ether-block-amide)(PEBA, $PEBAX^{TM}$)는 열가소성 탄성체(thermoplastic elastomer, TCU)로서 hard-rigid amide block과 soft-flexible ether block으로 구성되어 있으며, 분자량과 두 block간의 구성비에 따라 여러 종류가 있다. $PEBAX^{TM}$는 분리막소재로 이용할 경우, $PEBAX^{TM}$의 hard amide block은 우수한 기계적 특성과 선택도를, 그리고 soft ether block은 높은 투과도를 제공할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2종류의 $PEBAX^{TM}$를 사용하여 기체분리막을 제조하고, 종류에 따른 이산화탄소와 메탄의 투과특성 변화를 연구하였다. 또한 순수 $PEBAX^{TM}$ 분리막의 투과특성을 향상시키기 위해 무기전구체로서 TEOS(tetraethoxysilane)를 사용하여 $PEBAX^{TM}$/TEOS 하이브리드막을 제조하고, 그 투과특성을 순수 $PEBAX^{TM}$ 분리막의 결과와 비교하였다. 순수 $PEBAX^{TM}$-1657과 $PEBAX^{TM}$-2533 분리막의 투과도 측정 결과, ether block의 비율이 상대적으로 높은 $PEBAX^{TM}$-2533 분리막의 투과도 계수가 보다 높은 투과도 계수값을 가졌다. 이는 $PEBAX^{TM}$-2533의 경우, 상대적으로 높은 ether block 함량 때문에 고분자 사슬의 유연성이 보다 크기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. $PEBAX^{TM}$/TEOS 하이브리드 분리막의 투과특성을 순수 $PEBAX^{TM}$ 분리막의 결과와 비교할 때, 하이브리드 분리막의 기체 투과도 계수가 보다 높음을 알 수 있다. 이는 TEOS의 축합반응으로 생성된 silica domain에 의해 결정성이 감소하고 또한 이산화탄소와 silanol group과의 친화도(affinity) 증가에 따른 용해도가 증가하기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 하이브리드 분리막의 투과도 계수 증가에도 불구하고 이상분리인자는 거의 비슷하거나 약간 감소하였음을 알 수 있다. 이는 이산화탄소와 silanol group의 친화도 증가로 인한 용해선택도의 증가에 기인한 것으로 볼 수 있다.
