As the importance of R&D has increased, there have been various efforts to apply the quality management principles and tools to R&D activities in order to manage them effectively. The R&D sector differs from other value chains, so it may be difficult to apply quality management without proper considerations of R&D characteristics. This study describes the characteristics of R&D as high uncertainty and risk, diversity of R&D types, project-based activities, importance of strategic goals and business models, and importance of intangible assets. Three well accepted R&D quality management models are reviewed and implications for quality management and R&D characteristics are summarized. Based on these findings, the management targets of R&D quality management are classified into management level (organization, project) and management focus (process, output), and the contexts of R&D quality management are classified into R&D type (research, development) and market/customer requirement clarity (fluid, specific), and appropriate R&D quality management activities in each situations have been suggested.

This paper has proposed the development direction and R&D analysis approach that the diversity of defense R&D process and product should be mainly under consideration. It has shown that there is a fair possibility of the various quality assess to meet the R&D requirements in defense-based. Thus, the analysis on multiple quality elements is carried out with defense R&D characteristics. Especially, a quality management master planning based on the quality model of establishing defense R&D policy has proposed, identifying relevant quality characteristics on the R&D of weapon system and the R&D of core technology. That is, this paper is not only interested in determining an appropriate model for improving the quality of a R&D weapon system but also argued efforts in order to reap the best possible outcome and process on both the R&D of weapon system and quality of the R&D of core technology including present R&D activities.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze general types of R&D Quality Assurance(R&D QA) and to identify key quality elements for R&D QA. R&D QA is defined as all the planned and systematic actions to verify whether R&D processes are conducted in a proper manner and the results of R&D fully satisfy customers' requirements. Methods: The existing R&D QA guidelines and the some cases were reviewed. From the review, three general types are analyzed and thirteen key quality elements are identified. Then, the survey on the eighteen domestic experts has been conducted for prioritization of the identified elements. Results: As the result of this study, three types for R&D QA based on quality elements, standard process, and final evaluation are analyzed. Related to the first type, thirteen quality elements, e.g., administrative plan, project plan, process management and so on, are identified and prioritized. Conclusion: This study contributes to develop the baseline for R&D QA including the types and the key quality elements. It may be helpful for the institute that has an interest adopting R&D QA.

This study aims to investigate the compatibility between 'quality' and 'R&D' and to ascertain what methodology can be applied. To consider the compatibility, this study discussed whether quality management can expand into R&D area in future and whether the quality management principles in ISO9000 can work well in R&D environment. Our conclusion is that the application of the quality management in R&D is valid and can serve as a new paradigm for improving R&D performance. In addition, this study divided the quality concept in R&D into several types from the viewpoints of quality definition and suggested quality methodologies for each type.

Evaluating the performance of R&D Activity is complicated because it is hard to quantify the R&D results unlike the traditional manufacturing or service industries. Recently, to overcome this, process-focused evaluation methods applying the philosophy of quality into R&D environment have been introduced. However, these quality activities are mainly conducted without feedback system after the evaluation work is done. The aim of this study is to present a R&D quality diagnosis framework to obtain the improvement opportunities from R&D process perspective. The research is designed as follows : First, R&D standard process and R&D quality elements are derived from a literature review. Second, the diagnosis objects are obtained by investigating the R&D quality elements at each R&D steps. Third, a two-dimensional diagnosis model, which enables the objective measurement of the 'system compatibility' and 'accomplish level', is presented. The proposed method can provide an effective way to find opportunities for efficient quality improvement of R&D process.

Korea's national R&D projects are increasing year by year. However, it is necessary to improve the quality of R&D result. In this paper, we introduce the developing and adjusting the R&D standard process based on process approach in ETRI. It is expected that the definition of R&D standard process will contribute to improve customer satisfaction and quality of R&D result through standardization and continuous improvement activities.

The number of national research and development(R&D) projects have been continually increased, and it is necessary that the efficiency of investment of R&D projects have been improved during the last two decades. also the government has improved national R&D process and supporting tools for the projects. However, it is not enough to develop a quality model to evaluate the projects systematically. Therefore, a quality model for national R&D projects need to be revised. The quality model for the projects should be based on the global standard(ISO/IEC 9126). In this paper, the authors proposed a quality model for national R&D projects and took a case study for verification of the quality model. The quality model is defined in terms of functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability and maintainability. Also, the authors suggest metrics for measuring the quality of products or services. finally, The productivity and quality of national R&D projects will be improved by the quality model.

Korea's R&D investment has significantly increased in recent years and the quantitative outputs such as number of papers and patents have also increased with the investment. However, the quality of R&D outputs has not been fully addressed. In particular, quality of technical performance, such as the quality of patents, has attracted little attention. In this paper, a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was used to construct models for efficiency analysis of R&D investment, focused on quality of technical performance. Indices were proposed to analyze the quantitative and qualitative efficiencies of R&D investment. In order to effectively analyze R&D efficiencies, the measurement units of the input and output variables were standardized. Based on cases of livestock quarantine R&D projects of Korea, the quantitative and qualitative efficiencies of national R&D projects were analyzed and factors that would influence R&D efficiencies were identified. This paper suggests that both quantitative and qualitative efficiencies should be considered when measuring R&D efficiency. Also, it is recommended to carefully consider the characteristics of R&D projects during project selection stage.

지속적인 성장을 위하여 정부는 R&D투자 규모를 지속적으로 늘리고 있으며, 동시에 R&D 성과의 산업화 연계 등 성과활용 관점의 관리와 인프라를 강화하고 있다. 그러나 사후적인 성과관리보다는 우수한 결과가 도출될 수 있는 사전적인 R&D기획이 더욱 중요하다. 본 연구는 우수한 R&D성과의 창출을 위한 R&D기획에 대한 시사점을 제시하고자, 신재생에너지 분야 중 연료전지와 태양전지 분야 특허를 대상으로 가산자료 모형을 활용하여 특허의 질적 수준 결정요인을 비교 분석 하였다. 분석결과 기술별로 결정요인은 서로 상이하게 나타나 R&D기획이 기술별로 구별되어야 함을 보였고, 결과를 바탕으로 우수한 R&D성과를 도출할 수 있는 연료전지, 태양전지 분야의 R&D기획 방향을 제시하였다.
