The concept of Holon was suggested by A. Koestler in his paper(1967) "The Ghost in the Machine." It became one of the central concept of the Intelligent Manufacturing System. In this paper, a new system concept: Holonic Weapon System was introduced. HWS has the advantages of the holonic system and the system integration technique so that the future unmanned combat system should consider this concept.

In the trend of digital transformation and the increase in non-face-to-face services triggered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the demand for cloud computing services is being sharply stimulated. Currently, the cloud is being introduced in various industrial sectors including public, IT, and finance, and the manufacturing industry is also adopting the cloud to secure future sustainability and is promoting innovation through smart manufacturing. However, it has been found that there are constraints in the adoption of cloud by manufacturing companies due to concerns about security. Existing studies that have identified cloud security risks have been limited to presenting general cloud security risks or technical security risks rather than focusing on the manufacturing industry. Therefore, this study aimed to identify cloud security risks in the manufacturing industry based on the actual concerns in the field. For this, expert interviews and literature research were conducted to newly identify cloud security risks in the manufacturing industry, and the adequacy and urgency of the selected security risks were verified through surveys. Based on this study, if a cloud security management system for the manufacturing industry is designed in the future, it is expected that the adoption of cloud in the manufacturing industry will be more activated.

Purpose - This paper empirically investigates the relationship between firm productivity and importing intermediate inputs in the Korean manufacturing sector. Design/methodology - This paper tests the two related hypotheses on the relationship between importing and productivity for a sample of Korean manufacturing firms. We test the self-selection hypothesis by comparing pre-entry levels of productivity between importers and non-importers. We test the learning-by-importing hypothesis by employing propensity score matching with differencein-differences approach. Findings - Future importers are more productive than future non-importers years before they start to import, which supports the self-selection hypothesis. In contrast, there is no strong evidence for learning-by-importing. Originality/value - This paper is the first study to explore the relationship between importing and firm-level productivity for Korean firms. The results have an important implication on trade policies to lower or raise trade barriers in imported inputs.

Additive manufacturing technology is taking great attentions in these days because the term 3D-printing became a hot issue as the next generation manufacturing paradigm. Especially, laser additive manufacturing is at the center of interest thanks to the accuracy compared to other heat sources. In this report, recent papers about laser additive manufacturing are analyzed and reviewed. General technology is specified into three different categories and they are laser sintering, laser melting and laser metal deposition. Similarities and differences are clearly described by detailed technologies and used materials type. Representative application examples are selected then future of this technology is expected through those applications. Additionally, market of laser additive manufacturing systems itself and application fields are also predicted based on present 3D-printing market and technical progressions.

With the introduction of the Internet in the 21st century, the manufacturing-oriented industry, so called EMS(Electronic Manufacturing Service) specialized in manufacturing only, is rapidly expanding. From the beginning of the year 2000, the EMS industry in advanced countries around the world, whereas a strong Motivation System in which a manufacturing related staff plays a main role, has began providing the source of competitiveness. And this industry is regarded as a core of management linking productivity directly to management performance. Thus, all the manufacturing sectors including not only the electronic industry but also mechanical industry in the future are observed to be divided into two industries; a Maker strategy industry focused on marketing and development, and a EMS industry specialized in manufacturing. Therefore, we need to evaluate whether the industries should continue to support the Manufacturers Strategy or attempt to change into the EMS industry However, with no approved evaluation standard on hand as to an actual EMS industry, in this thesis, we develop the EM(EMS-Maker) Chart in order to analyze both the Manufacturer Strategy and the EMS industries.

Intelligent Robot is considered as one of the Next Generation Growth Engine in many countries. The application fields are expected to be widen from 80's robotics for manufacturing to many applications such as military, space, medical, personal, etc. To reduce the R&D investment risk Technical Roadmap is prepared by Japan, Europe and Korea. In this paper, the technical Roadmap of the countries was analysed to get the idea of future of Robotics. Robotics is considered as one of solutions of future aged society. Robot can assist and company with elderly people in the near future. On the other hand, Robot is considered as a core technology of manufacturing competitive power. Industrial competitiveness also would be dependent on robot technology. Special Service robot has many application areas and each country has different target based on the situation. With the comparison of technical roadmap, we have suggested some ideas to improve Korea's roadmap.

The effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on manufacturing are spreading by policies to secure or strengthen the manufacturing competitiveness of each country. Strengthening policies on manufacturing necessitate nurturing manpower for smart manufacturing. This study examines the difference of the experts' perception about the educational curriculum to develop the knowledge of Product Lifecycle which covers the whole knowledge area of product development among the knowledge areas aimed at fostering the manpower of smart manufacturing for the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution Era. Experts were aware that future developments in digital development, production, and new product development are most important, and that they feel that the whole knowledge area is generally weak. In this study, the implications for the development of educational curriculum in the future are derived from the perception difference of knowledge on Product Lifecycle obtained through expert survey.
