  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze quality control strengthening pilot project in development stages of weapon systems which ensures zero-defect. In order to achieve that, we propose collaboration support system between related organizations. Methods: First, we analyze how quality control methods has been developed from reviewing the preliminary study in commercial and defense industry. Then, we suggest improvement plans for quality control in defense industry and propose a pilot study which able to improve the recognized problems. Results: The results of this study ensures the participants in defense industry recognize the importance of quality control and form a consensus by sharing a case study. Finally, we propose the standardized work process by utilizing manual and manpower dispatching. Conclusion: As a result, this study clarifies the scope and role of relevant organizations to achieve the defense quality assurance in the total life cycle(TLC). Also, this paper guides the collaboration system between the relevant organization which differs from the commercial industry currently divided into development-production-quality.

  • The United Kingdom is known for the quality of its qualifications. There is a strict quality system with reputable bodies responsible for ensuring that high quality standards are met. In order for new qualifications to be accredited, they must meet all the requirements set out in the regulations for the quality and informatization of Education. The crucial role of the Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education (QAA) in the UK for creating high-quality management of higher education institutions is revealed, the influence of informatization tools on its effective mechanism as an independent entity is shown, and positive experience for the educational sector is highlighted. While the universities themselves are responsible for reviewing educational programs at the subject level, the QAA review focuses on verifying internal quality assurance, as well as systems and improvement strategies. The QAA uses a peer review process in which teams mostly consist of academic staff from other institutions to assess the quality of the institution's education. In Scotland, the team also includes an international reviewer. The student is also a member of the Scottish teams. In the UK, attention is paid to providing a cohort of experienced reviewers who can conduct high-quality monitoring and help with advice on improving education. All reviewers must complete training and have permission to participate in the review of educational programs. There are selected committees that are members of the QAA council, each of which is headed by a member of the Council or an independent person approved by the Council. Attention is drawn to the main areas of the QAA's work in the framework of environmental, social and corporate governance.

  • The quality assurance issue of drug products is more important than the general product because it is highly related to the human health and life. In this reason, the regulatory guide lines have continuously been intensified all around the world. In order to achieve effective quality assurance and real-time product release (RTPR) of drug products, process analytical technology (PAT), which can analyze and control a manufacturing process, has been proposed from the United States. With the PAT process, we can obtain significant process features of materials, quality characteristics and product capabilities from a raw material to the final product in the real-time procedure. PAT can also be utilized to process validation using information system that can analyze the risk of drug products through out an entire product life-cycle. In this paper, we first offered a new concept for the off-line process design methods to prepare the improved quality assurance restrictions and a real-time control method by establishing an information system. We also introduced an automatic inspection system by obtaining surrogate variables based on drug product formulations. Finally, we proposed an advanced PAT concept using validation and feedback principles through out the entire life-cycle of drug product manufacturing processes.

  • Small sized companies have not been successful in systematically applying statistical process control because of insufficient human resources. In this paper we present a case study of automatic checking system for a small sized company which produces various types of gears. A systematic way of automatically measuring gears is proposed and statistical analysis methods are presented. To reduce variation in the measurement data, a standard operating procedure is also proposed. This case study can be helpful to quality assurance practitioners of small sized companies who are willing to develop checking or inspection systems for their products.

  • The claim that the quality assurance measures towards teacher education institutions tend to be deviated from its original purposes has been raised among international scholars, especially in those countries where prospective teachers are oversupplied. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of evaluation systems of teacher's colleges in South Korea and China from a comparative perspective. Based on six areas such as evaluation authority, purposes, cycle, criteria, methods, result utilization, we describe current practices to draw similarities and differences of the two systems. The analyses revealed remarkable similarities despite the slight differences. First, the evaluation was deviated from the quality assurance and support of the teacher's colleges. Second, the evaluation focused on supervision of the institutions and control of quantitative aspects of teacher's colleges instead of quality assurance. Based on the findings, we suggested some policy recommendations to recover the original purposes and functions of teacher education institutional evaluations in South Korea and China.

  • Through this study, the purpose of this study is to harmonize the quality assurance system of diagnostic radiation generator inspection bodies with current international standards, standardize the diversity of inspection bodies, provide consistent inspection services to medical institutions, and improve review efficiency of regulatory agencies. We compared and reviewed the quality assurance systems of all domestic diagnostic radiation generator and defense facility inspection bodies. For international harmonization, we reviewed international and domestic and international standards, including ISO/IEC 17020, and added and reflected the requirements of regulatory agencies. The quality assurance systems of all inspection bodies included all required items in compliance with ISO/IEC 17020, but some of the quality procedures showed differences. Standards were drawn up through expert meetings for items where differences were compared and analyzed, and rules for safety management of diagnostic radiation generators and amendments to these regulations were proposed. The results of this study are expected to improve the operational efficiency of inspection bodies and the work efficiency of regulatory agencies for inspection bodies, and international harmonization in accordance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17020 should be continuously maintained.

  • This study aimed to improve the reliability of the assurance pressure of a gun barrel due to the difference between the US Standard and Korean Standard. In addition, the reliability was found to differ according to the maximum pressure of the Ammunition, so restrictions are expected. During the development of the new bullet, the maximum pressure of the bullet was approximately 3,000 psi higher than the assurance pressure of the gun barrel. To solve this problem, the reliability of the cannon was analyzed when the assurance pressure of the gun barrel increased. First of all, the technical data from overseas were reviewed to check for cases of increased assurance pressure, and tests were performed to determine if it could withstand high pressure through a verification firing test. Finally, the simulation analyzed the stability of the recoil buffer. The study found no abnormal results in all items, suggesting that an increase in the assurance pressure for a gun barrel was possible. This study is expected to be used as basic data for future reliability studies of similar equipment.
