한국의 중소 제조업 노동력 부족 실태는 노동부의 <노동력수요동향조사>와 중소기업청의 <중소기업인력실태조사> 결과를 통해 파악할 수 있다. 그러나 이 두 기관에서 조사한 자료의 개념과 측정도구의 불일치가 매우 심해 인력부족실태를 정확히 파악하는 데 심각한 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 한국의 '인력부족'의 개념 정의와 측정 및 조사방법에서 혼란이 발생하고 있음을 밝혀낸 후, 대안적인 통계 지표들을 제시하여 그 혼동을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 있다.

Occupational musculoskeletal disorders currently account for the largest proportion of the occupational illnesses in Korea. In this research, status of musculoskeletal disorders among the occupational illnesses was examined through workers' compensation claims data. Types and characteristics of musculoskeletal disorders were looked at other data set as well. The data sets included epidemiological investigation data reported by Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute, and data collected from occupational disease surveillance reports and Korean occupational health-related scientific journals. Number of cases, incidence rate and insurance benefits for occupational musculoskeletal disorders in Korea are increasing every year. In addition, musculoskeletal disorders occurrence is shifted from large enterprises group to small-and-medium group, from manufacturing to service sector, and from production workers to office and professional workers. Although low back pain is still most common, its occurrence characteristics is gradually shifted from traumatic to cumulative while musculoskeletal disorders are somewhat seemingly moved from lumbar to upper limb body part. Musculoskeletal disorders were observed to be more diverse and prevalent in epidemiological investigations or surveillance data rather in workers' compensation claims data. Musculoskeletal disorders occurrence is related to demographic factors, occupational psychosocial factors, and ergonomic risk factors at workplace for which appropriate preventive measures needed to be made accordingly.

Lactose intolerance is a pathophysiological phenomenon caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase present in human intestines. Changes in intestinal digestion and colon fermentation after the intake of lactose-containing products cause diarrhea and other clinical discomforts. Therefore, lactose intolerance can be easily ameliorated by consuming lactose hydrolyzed milk and dairy products. In the recent years, lactose-free dairy products have provided lactose intolerant consumers with several options, due to an improvement in the quality and an increase in the variety of products. Currently, the manufacturing of lactose-free products also represents the fastest growing sector in the dairy industry. This review, thus, aims to provide an overview of the current availability and prospects of lactose-free dairy products, and also discuss the potential benefits of the development of a variety of lactose-free dairy foods.

The purpose of this study is to examine the construction industry of Korea from the 1920s to the 1930s by analyzing activities of construction-contractors trying to overcome the recession of the construction industry and intensified competition in the industry. In this paper, I looked at the activities of Hanazono Sakichi as concrete examples. First of all, with the strategy of the vertical integration, by manufacturing and selling building materials, Hanazono Sakichi expanded his company and the scope of contract business. The second, he attempted to diversify related projects. Through related diversification, he seemed to have earned not only land management profit but also advantages from related construction. These aspects were not only seen by Hanazono's activities but also by other contractors'. On the other hand, a few contractors have taken over a trust company to secure the funds for land management. Attempts to maximize personal interests through the expansion and diversification of contractors' business can be seen as overcoming the pre-1920s environment, where almost construct works were ordered under the government, and creating opportunities for the private sector to work and make profit by themselves. In the end, it can be mentioned that 'the contractor' established 'the construction industry' through this process.

The manufacturing sector resorts to automation to increase production and homogeneity of products during mass production, without increasing scarce, expensive, and unreliable manpower. Automation in the form of multiple robotic arms that handle materials in all directions in different stages of the process is proven to be the best way to increase production. This paper thoroughly investigates robotic single-arm movements, that is, 360° vertical rotation, with the help of a brushless DC motor, controlled by a fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. This paper also deals with the design and performance of the fuzzy-based PID controller used to control vertical movement against the limited scope of conventional PID feedback controller and how the torque of the arm is affected by the fuzzy PID controller in the four quadrants to ensure constant speed and accident-free operation despite the influence of gravitational force. The design was simulated through MATLAB/SIMULINK and integrated with dSPACE DS1104-based hardware to verify the dynamic behaviors of the arm.

The world's major countries have focused on the renewable energy industry as the solution to climate change and the energy crisis. Nevertheless, there are no studies on the economic effects of the renewable energy industry. This study analyzed the economic effects of Korea's renewable energy industry by using the 2010 Input-Output Table. It is estimated that Korea's renewable energy industry made a production-induced effect of 2.0262 won, and a value-added-induced effect of 0.6138 won through an increase in output growth of 1 won, and an employment-induced effect of 2.3046 labors through an increase in output growth of 1 billion won. Both the effect ratio and the response ratio were greater than 1, which means the renewable energy industry is an intermediate manufacturing industry whose forward linkage effect and backward linkage effects are large. These results show differences with previous studies that classified electricity sector and renewable energy industry into final primary production industries. It is expected that the economic effects of the renewable energy industry will become greater in the future. Therefore, research on statistics related to the renewable energy industry is needed for more precise analysis.

Purpose: Korea's construction industry has faced declining productivity and quality issues due to labor-intensive onsite construction and variables like weather, material price fluctuations, and labor shortages. The modular housing industry, introduced in Korea in 2003, offered benefits like reduced construction time and enhanced productivity through offsite manufacturing. However, its adoption remains limited due to high costs, quality concerns, and low consumer acceptance. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: This study explores the feasibility and impact of implementing smart factory technologies in the modular housing industry to overcome these barriers. Using survey data from 179 construction industry experts, the study employs frequency and regression analysis to identify key factors influencing the adoption of modular housing and the effectiveness of smart factories. Findings suggest that government-led educational programs and strong policy support are essential for successful implementation, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and improving quality. Conclusions: The study emphasizes the need for standardization of modular housing, deregulation of relevant laws, and increased public awareness to stimulate market growth and innovation. Policy recommendations include financial support for modular manufacturers transitioning to smart factories, ensuring stable supply volumes, and promoting the benefits of modular housing to consumers. Integrating smart factory technologies can lead to significant advancements in the modular housing industry, contributing to the sustainable development and modernization of Korea's construction sector.

As environmental concerns escalate, the increase in recycling of aluminum scrap is notable within the aluminum alloy production sector. Precise control of essential components such as Al, Cu, and Si is crucial in aluminum alloy production. However, recycled metal products comprise various metal components, leading to inherent uncertainty in component concentrations. Thus, meticulous determination of input quantities of recycled metal products is necessary to adjust the composition ratio of components. This study proposes a stable input determination heuristic algorithm considering the uncertainty arising from utilizing recycled metal products. The objective is to minimize total costs while satisfying the desired component ratio in aluminum manufacturing processes. The proposed algorithm is designed to handle increased complexity due to introduced uncertainty. Validation of the proposed heuristic algorithm's effectiveness is conducted by comparing its performance with an algorithm mimicking the input determination method used in the field. The proposed heuristic algorithm demonstrates superior results compared to the field-mimicking algorithm and is anticipated to serve as a useful tool for decision-making in realistic scenarios.

해외직접투자는 기업의 장기적인 성장전략 차원에서 여러 가지 동기를 가진다. 본 연구는 현대자동차의 미국 앨라배마주 현지투자에 대한 사례연구를 통해 우리나라 자동차산업의 관점에서 미국에 대한 직접투자의 동기와 입지선택시의 고려요인을 분석한다. 이 논문은 미국에 대한 수출이 최근 호조세를 지속하고 있는 상황에서 생산원가 면에서 유리하지 않은 미국내 투자가 이루어진 동기는 무엇인가에 대한 문제 제기에서 출발한다. 조사결과 미국투자의 가장 강력한 동기는 대미통상마찰 완화였다. 즉, 수출의 상당부분을 미국시장에 의존하고 있는 상황에서 현지생산을 통하여 자동차부문의 심각한 한ㆍ미간 무역수지 불균형현상을 완화하여 미국과의 통상마찰을 회피하고 무역분쟁의 소지를 줄이고자 하는 방어적 차원의 전략적 동기가 현대자동차 미국 현지투자의 가장 큰 이유였다. 소비자에의 접근성 향상 등 기타 요인은 부수적인 중요성에 머물렀다. 그러나, 국가 단위의 선택이 이루어진 후 local 단위의 선택에 있어서는 여러 가지 입지적 요인들이 종합적으로 고려되었으며, 특히 지방정부의 적절한 인센티브 제공이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 우리나라 제조업의 선진국에 대한 해외투자는 전통적인 해외직접투자 이론으로써는 설명할 수 없는 방어적 차원의 전략적 동기가 중요하게 작용한다는 것을 시사한다. 아울러, 각급 정부단위의 적절한 유인구조 설계가 해외직접투자 유치에 중요하다는 것을 확인한다.
