Polyurethane is an elastomer polymer, which is flexible, tough and resistant. This material is widely used various fields such as automobile, aeroplane, textiles, construction industries. Currently there exists more than 1,000 manufacturing companies in Korea that are closely related to Polyurethane. In spite of a number of Polyurethane manufacturing companies, there are little attention in academia as well as industries to study the safety and manufacturing process improvement on Polyurethane. In this paper, we consider a case study for the Polyurethane manufacturer to improve productivity by using safety management and manufacturing process reengineering. After careful analysis, we derive three enhancements to increasing the safety and productivity for the target company. Especially, we achieve about 16% productivity improvement in roller manufacturing process by replacing manual stirring job with automated mixing machine.

The purpose of this paper is to study the links between manufacturing strategy and change programs of manufacturing firms in Korea. The nature of our analysis is more descriptive than normative or confirmative. First, we investigate the linkage between manufacturing strategy, manufacturing capability, change programs and performance measurement systems. Secondly, we intend to explore an empirical typology of manufacturing strategy and change programs. The initial findings of the study are as follows: Linkage between manufacturing strategy and change programs of manufacturing firms was not apparent. Flexibility as a strategic priority is positively related to the innovative change programs. There are two distinctive strategies of manufacturing firms in Korea, namely, quality strategy and balanced strategy. We identified three types of change programs, which are incremental change, administrative innovation, and process innovation. Incremental change group has represented low factor score in the change program dimensions. The firms in administrative innovation group mainly depend on information systems and business reengineering. Korean manufacturing firms seem to pursue process improvement by trying simultaneously incremental change in the process, managerial process improvement, and a little bit of innovative change. Performance variable utilization of the firms are not significantly different along with manufacturing strategies and change programs. We found, however, learning and improvement performance dimension is significantly related to flexibility variables. Process innovation group marked high score in usage of learning and improvement indices. The findings of this study seem to have various implications on realigning the manufacturing strategy, change programs, and performance systems in Korean firms.

Purpose: This paper treats the improvement of the quality and reliability of military weapon systems based on the maintenance data. Methods: The proposed method of the data integration and refinement are used to obtain the component reliability information and to find the frequently failed components based on the Pareto analysis. Based on the reliability information and the number of failed component frequencies, the target components of quality improvement are determined and improved by multiple methods such as engineering changes, special meetings, additional training and revising maintenance manuals. Results: Based on the proposed process, we find some components which need to be improved in order to enhance the quality and reliability. Conclusion: A process is developed for improving the quality and reliability of weapon systems. This process will be adopted by various weapon systems to enhance the quality and reliability, as well as reduce military spending.

Because process variations have direct influence on yield rate in process industry, it is very important to understand process variations that occur accidentally. In process industry, quality variation due to the activities of process improvement and maintenance and chance effect such as change of work environment and difference in staffs' craftsmanship are mixed with each other, therefore it is difficult to actually detect minute process variations. In this study, objective and rational methods of detection that can detect minute process variations in process industry were designed referring to various methodologies of process management, and they were verified through similar examples.

The international SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability determination) Project ISO/IEC 15504(SPICE : Software Process Improvement and Capability determination) is an emerging International Standard on SPA(Software Process Assessment). A prime motivation for developing this standard has been the perceived need for an internationally recognized software process assessment framework that pulls together the existing public and proprietary models and methods. A SPICE assessment can be considered as one of representative SPA model since assessors assign ratings to indicators and metrics to measure the capability of software process. But this models doesn't provide a systematic measurement procedures and dynamic method for SPI(Software Process Improvement). Through the evaluation of SPICE is capable of providing a substantiated basis for using the notion of capability, as well as providing information for nacessary improvements to the standard using 6sigma process. As a result, this paper propose a measurement procedure and guidelines for application of 6sigma process to guarantee the reliability in SPI and suggest the structure to support SPI on overall organization.

Purposes: This study was performed to understand the recognition about accreditation motives, support within the hospital and accreditation survey process for the hospitals that participated in the accreditation program and to find out whether these factors are related to hospital management performances, so that the study can suggest plans for activation and development of the accreditation program. Methodology: This study was performed targeting 98 hospitals answered th the survey among 189 acute care hospitals that acquired accreditation from December 2010 to February 2014. For data analysis, frequency analysis, ${\chi}^2$-test, reliability analysis, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 21.0 were used. Findings: The hospitals that had staff in charge of patient safety had bigger hospital culture change than those that didn't have(p<.05). In addition, the hospital culture change was bigger as internal motives were bigger, and as CEO's will was bigger(p<.05). Meanwhile, as maintenance rate of internal management after accreditation was higher, and as CEO's will was bigger, process improvement level was higher(p<.05). The quality improvement and patient satisfaction level were higher as CEO's will was bigger, and as suitability of survey process was recognized to be high(p<.05). As a result of analyzing the factors that affect hospital management performances with hospital culture change, process improvement and quality improvement combined, as internal management maintenance rate was higher, as CEO's will was bigger, and as suitability of survey process was higher, performances were higher(p<.05). Practical Implications: Hospitals need to reinforce internal motives to improve internal competences such as the whole system maintenance opportunity and staff training. In addition, the will of hospital director is most important, and if there is hospital director's interest in quality improvement and improvement intention definitely, employees voluntarily participate in and cooperate with the accreditation program, so that prompt medical service provision and high quality of medical services can be guaranteed, leading to hospitals' management performances.

최근에 많은 기업들이 기업 목표를 달성하기 위해 프로세스 혁신이나 개선을 지속적으로 꾀하고 있으며, 이를 지원하는 도구로 BPM (Business Process Management)이 많이 도입되고 있다. BPM의 생애 주기는 프로세스 진단, (재)설계 및 실행으로 이루어지는데, 모든 BPM 활동들은 성과 척도와 밀접한 관련을 갖고 운영되어야 한다. 본 논문의 목적은 프로세스 기반 성과 측정 모델과 통합된 생애 주기 기반 BPM 프레임워크를 제안하는 것이다. 제안 프레임워크에서는 BPM 전 생애 주기 동안 비즈니스 프로세스와 성과 척도가 체계적인 상관관계를 가지고 밀접하게 운영된다. 기업의 혁신이나 개선 담당자들은 제안 프레임워크를 사용하여 프로세스 진단 단계에서는 기업 성과에 가장 영향을 주는 프로세스를 용이하게 확인할 수 있고, 프로세스 (재)설계 단계에서는 새롭게 설계된 프로세스의 성과를 측정할 수 있으며, 프로세스 실행 단계에서는 성과 척도를 모니터하여 비즈니스 활동 들을 조정할 수 있게 된다.

최근 소프트웨어 개발시 CMMI 수준에 관한 인증 여부는 조직 경쟁력의 핵심적인 요인으로 그 중요성이 지속적으로 강조되고 있다. 따라서, 소프트웨어 개발시 CMMI에 기반한 프로세스 개선 활동을 활발하게 적용하고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 정량적 프로세스 관리 단계인 CMMI Level 4에 기반한 프로세스 개선활동을 목표로 하고 있으며, 이를 위한 조직구성이나 프로세스의 적용방법에 대한 내용을 실제 개발시 실적용을 통해 연구한 방법을 제시하고 있다. 이로써 기준만 제시하고 있는 모델에 대한 실제 적용 방법을 쉽게 이해 할 수 있게 하였다. 또한, 정성적 프로젝트 관리가 아닌 정량적 프로젝트 관리에 따른 그 개선 효과를 나타내고자 일정/공수 분석, 동료검토활동을 통한 결함관리의 적용 사례분석을 수행하였다. 끝으로 실제 적용에 따른 문제점과 개선방향도 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 CMMI에서 언급하고 있는 정량적 프로세스 관리의 효과부분을 검증하는데 도움이 될 수 있으며, 향후 CMMI에 기반한 프로세스 개선을 도입 예정인 조직에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
