Recently, the demand on the practical application of life-cycle cost effectiveness for design and rehabilitation of civil infrastructure is rapidly growing unprecedentedly in civil engineering practice. Accordingly, it is expected that the life-cycle cost in the 21st century will become a new paradigm for all engineering decision problems in practice. However, in spite of impressive progress in the researches on the LCC, so far, most researches in Koreahave only focused on roadway bridges, which are not applicable to railway bridges. Thus, this paper presents the formulation models and methods for uncertainty-based LCCA for railroad bridges consideringboth objective statistical data available in the agency database of railroad bridges management and subjective data obtained form interviews with experts of the railway agency, which are used to anew uncertainty-based expected maintenance/repair costs including lifetime indirect costs. For reliable assessment of the life-cycle maintenance/repair costs, statistical analysis considering maintenance history data and survey data including the subjective judgments of railway experts on maintenance/management of railroad bridges, are performed to categorize critical maintenance items and associated expected costs and uncertainty-based deterioration models are developed. Finally, the formulation for simulation-based LCC analysis of railway bridges with uncertainty-based deterioration models are applied to the design-decision problem, which is to select an optimal bridge type having minimum Life-Cycle cost among various railway bridges types such as steel plate girder bridge, and prestressed concrete girder bridge in the basic design phase.

The success of new product development is a key factor for getting competitive advantages. Marketing research has been investigating marketing capability, manufacturing technical capability, cross-functional integration, market knowledge competence, market orientation, and competitive environment as the key success factors of new product development. Recently, the role of IT infrastructure in enhancing new product advantage is assumed in the literature. However, the empirical studies on the role of IT infrastructure are lacking. The purpose of this study is to empirically exam the impacts of IT infrastructure on new product competitive advantage. In this study, IT infrastructure is conceptualized as the flexibility of IT infrastructure. Based on previous research, a conceptual model is established by incorporating the direct impact of IT infrastructure flexibility and its indirect impact through the key success factors on new product development. To empirically test the research model, data are surveyed from a pair of IS department and Marketing department of 92 consumer goods manufacturers. By employing PLS technique, the measurement reliability and reliability of research variables are tested and the path analysis is conducted to do the hypothesis testing. The path analysis shows that IT infrastructure flexibility has no direct effect on new product advantage, However, the indirect effect of IT infrastructure is found, which is mediated by marketing capability, manufacturing technical capability, cross-functional integration, and market orientation respectively. Hence, The flexible IT infrastructure increases cross-functional integration (H1), market orientation (H3), marketing capability (H5), and manufacturing technical capability (H6). All success factors of new product development excepts for competitive environment have a positive association with new product competitive advantages (from H10 to H14). Finally, the path from IT infrastructure flexibility to cross-functional integration, to market orientation, to market knowledge capability, and to new product advantage is found as the strongest path. These results indicate that the flexible IT infrastructure enhances information sharing with multiple departments and collaboration within a distributed innovation environment. The collaboration among departments positively affects the level of customer and competitor intelligence. The ability to obtain knowledge about customers and competitors makes firms to adapt to a changing environment quickly and to respond to customers' demands adequately. The flexible IT infrastructure also enhances the capability of organization to more rapidly respond to the changes in product design resulting in faster product development and reduced costs. In addition to, it enhances marketing capability by the two-way communications with customers and the analyses of various kinds of customer data. In brief, the finding of this study suggests that the flexible IT infrastructure allows many firms to pursue sustained new product competitive advantages. This study advances research on IT infrastructure in two important aspects. First, by Integrating marketing research and IS research, this study develops a conceptual model on the role of IT infrastructure in enhancing new product advantage. Second, it empirically finds the indirect impacts of IT infrastructure on new product advantage, which confirms the potential for the IS field to contribute to new product development research. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide research directions for future research.

Traction battery chargers are an integral part of the required charging infrastructure. EV charging systems are continuing to improve in design. The newer types are affecting power quality to a much lesser extent. High efficiency battery chargers are being designed and produced which form little or no harmonic distortion. In addition chargers are becoming smaller and lighter. This is due mainly to the fact that there are improvements in the power electronics industry, especially with respected to IGBTs. Lower costs are achieved by the reduction in price of the IGBTs, standard magnetic material and small cores for inductors and transformers. But electric vehicles occupy a relatively small market niche at present. Therefore with already existing power supply networks, establishment of EV infrastructure can safeguard the service value of present vehicle as well as ensure the ability to charge a significant number of such vehicle. In this paper, we surveyed the update charging technologies according to the conductive charging, inductive charging and fast charging. Then we suggested cost-optimized charging infrastructure in consideration of the economical, political and technical standpoint.

Australia has joined many governments to adopt public-private partnership (PPP) as a major strategy for procuring infrastructure for decades. However, failures have occurred although the market has been considered to be a mature and sophisticated one. Failures have typically been traced back to inappropriate economic evaluation and a lack of value-for-money. In particular, a literature review has identified that there was no holistic consideration on the evaluation of procurement transactions of PPP projects. The transaction costs of PPPs were not handled properly. In this paper, theories of transaction cost economics are proposed for the purpose of such a holistic institutional economic evaluation. These theories are analysed in order to identify potential critical success factors for a strategic infrastructure procurement framework. The potential critical success factors are identified and grouped into a number of categories that match the theories of transaction cost economics. These categories include (1) Asset Specificity, (2) Organizational Capability, (3) Transaction Frequency, (4) Behavioural Uncertainty, and (5) Environmental Uncertainty. These potential critical success factors may be subject to an empirical test in the future. The proposed framework will offer decision makers with an insight into project life cycle economic outcomes needed to successfully deliver PPPs.

이 논문은 생산 과정에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요소들 즉, 생산 원가, 생산 장소, 그리고 전반적인 경제 여건에 대해서 고찰하고 있다. 왜냐 하면, 현재 많은 생산 시스템들이 원가 상승의 압박에 의해 생산 시설의 지역이동이나 정보 통신을 이용한 효율적인 공급사슬관리를 운영하길 원한다. 예를 들어, 중국에서의 노동 생산 원가는 상당히 증가 하고 있기 때문에 그 생산 시설이 서서히 동남아시아로 이동하고 있다. 그러나 동남아시아의 인프라나 그 지역 노동자의 생산 숙련도가 아직은 미흡하기 때문에 생산 시설을 옮기기 보다 더욱 효과적인 방법들이 강구되고 있다. 그러므로 이 논문은 그러한 다양한 요소들이 생산 과정에 미치는 영향을 고찰 함으로써, 우리가 그 요소들을 이해하고 앞으로 어떤 방향으로 생산 시스템을 운영해 나가야 할지 방향을 제시해 줄 수 있을 거라 판단된다.

This study analyzed the smart construction safety cost included in safety management plans that are approved before construction. Specifically, it refers to the cost incurred in constructing and operating a safety management system using wireless communication and facilities. Based on the obtained statistical results, an activation policy for the inclusion of the smart construction safety cost in building safety management plans was proposed. The smart construction safety cost must be included in the safety management cost; notably, this is mandated by the Construction Technology Promotion Act. However, there are some problems with the inclusion of smart construction safety costs. To analyze the problems encountered when calculating the smart construction safety cost and including it in safety management plans, in this study, statistical analysis was performed using the data of 1,334 safety management plans received at the Construction Safety Management Integrated Information (CSI) from June to August 2021. The results show that only 50.7% of the safety management plans included the smart construction safety cost although the current law mandates 100% inclusion of these costs. Thus, it is apparent that the smart construction safety costs are only included in a low proportion of sites. In addition, the calculated smart construction safety costs were shown to have a small correlation with the construction cost; moreover, they appeared to be distributed at a constant cost level. In this context, it is believed that perfunctory cost calculations were performed at most sites since the effect of the construction cost on the smart construction safety cost was negligible. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the inclusion of smart construction safety costs by strengthening the authorization process of the approval institute of safety management plans. In addition, institutional support, such as guidelines that promote the calculation and inclusion of appropriate smart construction safety costs according to the characteristics of sites, are needed.

This study aimed to analyze the structure of the value chain of the olive flounder aquaculture industry to increase the value of this industry. Based on the value chain theory, olive flounder aquaculture industry activities were classified as primary and support activities. The primary activities included seed production, fish production, producer distribution, consumer distribution, and consumption. The support activities were production infrastructure, organization and specialization, R&D, and government policy. A survey was conducted on the costs of seed and fish production in the primary activities to investigate the business structure, and the distribution structure was analyzed to examine distribution costs and margins. In the support activities, the recent trends in R&D and government policy were mainly examined, based on which, a measure to reduce costs and maximize profits was suggested. It is necessary to reduce costs across the production processes by improving seed quality and reducing labor, feed, and management costs, which are strongly associated with support activities. Therefore, lowering costs will be possible in the olive flounder aquaculture industry when R&D outcomes, such as species development, feed quality improvement, and aquaculture system development, are stably diffused and applied in tandem with government policy regarding the industry.

IT기술의 발달로 인해 생성되는 데이터의 양은 매년 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있으며, 이에 대한 대안으로 분산시스템과 인-메모리 기반 빅데이터 처리 기법의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 기존 빅데이터 처리 기법들의 처리 성능은 노드의 수와 메모리 용량이 증가될수록 보다 빠르게 빅데이터 처리한다. 그러나 노드의 수의 증가는 빅데이터 인프라 환경에서 장애발생 빈도가 높아지며, 인프라 관리 포인트 및 인프라 운영비용도 증가된다. 또한 메모리 용량의 증가는 노드 구성에 대한 인프라 비용이 증가된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 빅데이터 처리율 향상을 위한 인-메모리 기반 하이브리드 빅데이터 처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 분산시스템 처리기법에 Combiner 단계를 추가하고, 그 단계에서 인-메모리 기반 처리 기술을 적용하여 기존 분산시스템 기반 빅데이터 처리기법에 비해 빅데이터 처리시간을 약 22% 감소시켰다. 향후, 제안하는 기법의 실질적인 검증을 위해 더 많은 노드로 구성된 빅데이터 인프라 환경에서의 현실적 성능평가가 필요하다.
