we can easily find numerous cases, where the outcomes are not up to their expectations, despite the enormous efforts and investments poured on developing ERP systems. Consequently, we are in need of a new methodology for efficient implementation and Maintenance of an ERP system. Therefore, we have investigated and analyzed various problems that may occur in adopting ERP systems, such as high implementation costs, shortage of professional manpower, and lack of active participation from insiders. In this thesis, we developed a new ERP system, focusing on accounting management modules and benchmarked our proposed model to one of the real companies.

In Japan, where ISO14001 certifications have passed the 10,000 mark, the need for environmental management has taken firm root among companies. However, in the small-and medium-enterprise sector, and among tiny businesses, there are firms not obtaining ISO certification due to their concern about human resources and increased work load. On the other hand, among businesses that have already succeeded in gaining ISO certification. one does not sense any growth with regard to the continual improvement. Voices from certain quarters indicate there is a lack of incentive to keep on improving. With this background, we herewith present a new system to evaluate the level of environmental management in a company by means of a 5-step system.

Treatise that see executed investigation analysis about energy conservation technology, which skill move and skill class of introduction subject, transferㆍintroduction skill form, present condition of technology transferㆍintroduction and necessity etc. to energy conservation technology by program of Korea energy basis plan (1997∼2006) etc. Enforced company which questionnaire object achieves from the end 107 assignment practical used of energy conservation technology development propulsion assignment of Korea energy management corporation (KEMCO) to 1998-200 years and 416 companies related energy saving technology constructed to Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) database by post investigation and visit investigation. Question investigation result, transferㆍintroduction fields of energy conservation technology are industry sector, the enterprise size appeared with the fact that the small and medium enteifrise is many most. Also, technology transferㆍintroduction section is plan technique, form with technical cooperative form, amount of money 50,000,000 won under, appeared above 1 years in disturbance duration. In hereafter, technology transferㆍintroduction plan it appeared with the fact that the plan technique is many most.

One aspect of customer dissatisfaction, safety or more correctly, the lack of product safety has received Particular attention in courts and in legislatures, especially in the developed countries. Therefore, many companies have always regarded safety elements as an essential part of product manufacturing. In this paper, the case study on the product safety of infant cosmetics manufactured by a small-medium enterprise is presented We have focused our study on safety level and control system of product safety, also analyzed the product defects caused by mixing process and all departments. It is found that the product defects( Complaints, Enquiries ) is considerably decreased. These results could be used to deal with a product recall which companies hope never happens to them

The early construction of the internet based ship basic planning supporting system based on the concurrent engineering and the internet technology is essential as a means for the improvement of technology and design productivity our ship building industry is facing currently. Further more, technological base construction for the construction for the construction of the cooperation system on the level of ship building industry is necessary for the technological base security to maintain and develop ship building industry continuosly in the 21st century of the information industry environment and for the technological improvement of the middle and small shipyard falling behind relatively and finally for the breaking through our ship building industry environment in which inter-enterprise competition is deeping. In this study, we designed the frame-system of the ship design supporting system and presented the development scenario based on core element technology.

The volume of B2C products rapidly increases according to the activation of the electronic commerce. Small and medium electronic commerce companies request the establishment of Parcel Warehouse &Distribution Center(PWDC) that is invested by the post office. This paper presents an economic evaluation method for PWDC from the perspectives fo PWDC and the post office. Two types of warehouses are considered as alternatives for PWDC. One is the conventional warehouse, and the other is the automamic warehouse that is characterized by AS/RS and automatic dispenser system. A benefit/cost analysis method is used to evaluate PWDC since it has the property of public enterprise. A PWDC which will be located in Seoul and adjacent to a concentrated post office is selected as a case study to illustrate the procedure of economic analysis.

21세기 국내 기업의 해외 투자 진출을 활성화하고 중소기업의 자발적 참여를 고취하기 위해 중소기업 베트남 진출에 관한 조사연구를 수행하였다. 국내의 베트남 진출희망 중소기업 100개 업체를 대상으로 베트남진출에 관한 준비사항과 진행사항을 중심으로 설문조사를 실시하여 28개 업체의 응답내용을 분석하였다. 베트남 진출 희망 중소기업 가운데 국내 또는 현지 자료수집 작업에도 불구하고 약70% 이상은 베트남 진출을 위한 사전조사 작업이 불충분하다고 응답했는데 그 주요 이유로는 수집된 자료 내용의 빈곤(66%), 해당 자료 수집의 불편성(29%) 등을 들었다. 베트남 진출을 준비중인 중소기업이 갖는 애로 사항으로는 베트남어 및 영어의 언어장애와 현지인의 문화관습 등에 이해부족, 사회주의 체제의 외국인 투자법규 및 각종 제도에 대한 이해부족 등이었다. 성공적인 중소기업의 베트남 진출을 위해 장기적, 안정적으로 지원할 우리 정부 내 전담 지원기구와 보다 접근이 용이하고 유용한 지원정보를 계속적으로 제공할 필요성이 있다.

This study focused on the factors that are critical to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation success. This study employed a Delphi panel to explore the characteristics of ERP project success. The expert panel was comprised of executives from Korean organizations who had participated in and were experienced with ERP implementation projects. The two round Delphi study found the importance of senior management involvement/top management support in project. Additionally, the study found that the same Critical Success Factors(CSFs) existing in large-sized Korean organizations are also applicable to small or mid-sized Korean organizations.

This study empirically explored what promotes exploration, through a case analysis of a Korean SME (small and medium sized enterprise), based on the research framework which focuses on the identification and the selection of exploratory NPD (new product development) alternatives, and the accumulation of novel capabilities in new technology domains. The learning process of the exploratory NPD project described is as follows. The identification barrier of exploratory NPD project is relatively low. Constructive crisis is germane to selecting exploratory NPD alternatives and to enduring the long payback period. New separated R&D unit is likely to implement the exploratory NPD project. The length of the gestation period of the exploratory NPD project is related with the level of the conflict between old members and new members. This study identified several antecedents of the exploratory NPD project. Prior success promotes the identification process of the exploratory NPD projects. Constructive crisis is related with CEO's personal characteristics such as future oriented and proactive personality. The proactive involvement and persuasion of CEO are germane to reducing the conflict between old and new members and to the success of the exploratory NPD project. Based on the results, this study discusses several implications and future research directions.
