  • Since the year of 2003, the overseas plant market has grown by an average of 6% per year. It is because of the increase of oil-money, economic growth of BRICs, and the result of heavy competition among the countries which demands a great amount of resources for the purpose of resource securing. Such a situation is expected to be continued for a while. The procurement is one of critical functions for successful completion of a plant project. For effective procurement, it is required to manage vendor's information efficiently. But most of the vendor management systems deal with simple general information and performance data about vendors. In this sense, this paper proposes a vendor management system which can be used within a decision-making system. The system uses existing DB and makes the close relationship with the vendors. This paper will also reduce risks and difficulties in the process of selecting the proper vendors and will increase efficiency of procurement process in electronic bidding between companies.

  • Korea, for the first time in the world, constructed 765 kV double circuits transmission lines, which has 3 phases and 6 bundles with vertical arrangement using steel pipes in 1998. Also in 2002, we developed 765kV outdoor full GIS substation with self-developed technology. KEPCO accumulated a wealth of technologies for 765kV system construction and operation, and are listed 5th in technology field in the world. With this advanced technologies, we are developing oversea business. We started with a projects, 'Development Study on the Power System Network Analysis in Myanmar' in 2001, and continued the project to transmission design, consulting for transmission technology including the education of foreign trainees in south-east and middle east asia. Currently, 12 overseas businesses including 330kV transmission system consulting in Ghana, are in progress. In 2007, beginning with 750 kV transmission consulting in China, we are operating ATT(Advanced Transmission Technology) training program, which educate engineers of government and utilities company from China, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Cambodia. However, for the successful development study on the power system, design of the power system and the training service, it is essential to standardize load design criteria in consideration of temperature, wind speed, air pressure and density, etc. of the other countries. Therefore, in this paper, standardized load design criteria for Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar is explained.

  • As the Asian region becomes strategically important in the international construction market, competition among construction firms has been more intense. While existing literature on the Asian construction market have mainly focused on qualitative approaches to market entry strategies and risk assessment, quantitative research to explain the dynamic competitive structure of the market has been rarely conducted. To address this issue, this study analyzes the structure of contract performance in the Asian region based on the data from 3,996 projects awarded to Korean construction firms from 2009 to 2017. In addition, this study applies a mathematical model using both static (market concentration) and dynamic (market mobility and instability) analyses. Consequently, the static analysis indicates that market concentration led by top-four firms tends to be increased, and on the dynamic aspect, the market position of Korean construction firms is recently weakened and fluctuated in most of the Asian regions and the construction sectors. The methodology and result of this paper would be meaningful not only to understand the underlying structure of industry-level performance but also to provide a useful reference for establishing competitive strategies towards the Asian market.

  • While major alliance container carriers in the post-corona era are enjoying the largest boom in history with their fleet reduction strategy, shippers companies are in a state of deteriorating import and export price competitiveness due to increased logistics costs, and forwarders who act for shipping companies' logistics services are also experiencing the burden of rising freight rates It is in a state of overheated competition and worsening profits for attracting shippers. For this purpose, research data, literature studies, statistical data and data from overseas specialized networks were used as prior research. Online surveys and telephone interviews were conducted, and as a result, four areas of cold chain (including perishable cargo), project logistics, UN procurement logistics, and dangerous goods logistics, which were found to be particularly in high demand, were analyzed to suggest entry strategies.

  • EPC companies to continue operating overseas, it is increasingly becoming apparent that risk is no longer something to be avoided but a subject to be managed. During the bidding stage, the requirements, specifications and project line items within the bid package must be studied in details to analyze the various risk factors in order to avoid cost overruns. However, reviewing vast quantities of bidding documents is time consuming and labor intensive and is not an easy task and this is where automated information technology can help. For this study, I have constructed an ITB analysis model based on Watson AI that can analyze and apply vast amount of documents more effectively in a short time. Configuration of the Watson Explorer AI architecture for AI-based ITB risk management model research, the selection of learning procedures and analysis subjects, and the performance evaluation criteria were defined, and a test bed was constructed to conduct a pilot research. Consequently, I verified the effectiveness of the analytical time reduction and the quality of its results and VOC operations by professionals.

  • The Film Development Fund was established in 2007 to improve the quality of film arts and promote the Korean film and video industry. As a key resource operated by the Korean Film Council, the film development fund provides various projects including support for the promotion of Korean film creation and production, funding in video-specialized investment associations, export and international exchanges of Korean films, and production of small-scale or short films. This study aims to propose ways to reinvent the film development fund, which is in danger of being depleted. Based on such purpose this study examined the status and problems of the current film development fund and reviewed previous literatures and related discussions. Furthermore, the policies of similar overseas organizations for film promotion including French National Film/Video Center (Centre National du Cinema et de l'image $anim{\acute{e}}e$, CNC) and the British Film Institute (BFI) were reviewed to draw a multi-faceted way to replenish the source of revenue for Korean film development fund.

  • The fashion market is expanding and competition is intensifying due to the contraction of consumption in response to the economic recession and changes in trends. In this study, design characteristics reflecting the brand identity and trend are analyzed as important factors for success. In this study, we will look at the design characteristics of knitwear among SPA brand products and help to plan knit designs. First, six brands were selected based on the sales and the number of stores in domestic and foreign SPA brands. The selected brands include UNIQLO, ZARA, H&M, SPAO, TOPTEN, and 8Seconds. We have selected weft knitting knitwear products(1,736 pieces), which are currently sold in domestic and foreign SPA brands, as silhouette items, knitwear design items, gauges, colors, patterns, images, and items as analysis items to analyze the causes of the differences in the design characteristics of domestic and foreign knitwear. The SPA brand has a wide range of tattoo floors, emphasizing practical aspects, a silhouette that fits the body, and a comfortable daily style. Domestic and foreign SPA brands did not show much difference, but Korean brands had a lower diversity of organization and used color for stable sales, showing a lower concern in trend and strong point color applications. If foreign brands pursue femininity based on a sexy image, Korean brands displayed a difference, emphasizing cute images. As for other design factors, it was found that brand identity was reflected more than domestically. As the cycle of trends becomes shorter, fast fashion is expected to continue in the future, and it is hoped that this research will be used as useful data for design projects of domestic companies.

  • Recently, as the frequency of natural disasters has increased, causing enormous human and material damage, the importance of managing disasters is emphasized. In particular, as the concept of Build Back Better becomes meaningful, it has appeared that considering it during Post-disaster Reconstruction is a necessity. Therefore, in this study, the relative importance evaluation and correlation analysis were performed for each influencing factor through the derivation of the influencing factors that should be considered during the reconstruction approach stage of reconstruction after disasters, and a survey of overseas disaster-related experts. As a result of the analysis, 'Adaptability to the environment changes in the future was derived as the most significant influencing factor. It seems that the results of this study can be used as basic data when carrying out the reconstruction project.

  • This study aims to develop a COVID-19 documentation strategy for university archives, which will act as a response system to infectious diseases. The study applied the phases of "documentation area definition and preliminary analysis" and "documentation strategy drafting" described in Heckman's documentation strategy model. In defining the documentation area and doing preliminary analysis, the author analyzed the cases of COVID-19 documentation projects at overseas university archives and conducted interviews with stakeholders. In drafting the documentation strategy, the author interviewed three archivists working in university archives. From these findings, the documentation strategy plan was developed and revised based on the feedback from archivists. The strategy plan covers the documentation purpose, subject/functional area, group, reference information, and major considerations. The findings of this study might be useful for figuring out ways to secure records related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases in university archives.
