The technological innovation has been recognized critical factors of productivity of firms and key contribution of improvement of firm performance for a long time. Many researchers have investigated the relationship between R&D investment or patents as a proxy of innovation and productivity. But there were some problem such as lacking of data and ambiguity of innovation definition. So, previous literatures have some difficulty in reliability of analysis for using only survey data. And investigating the relationship R&D and other factors is very difficult. Therefore, this paper tries to investigate and analysis the relationship between innovation and performance of Korean manufacturing firms. Using KIS2002(Korean Innovation survey 2002) which was based on Oslo manual in 2002 and financial data of firms (KISINFO), I will intend to establish the reliability of multiple analysis. In detail, I will investigate whether the innovation input have effect on the innovation output, whether the innovation output have effect on productivity for heterogeneity and what factor of innovation environment have effect on the innovation itself.

In modern Construction Industry, as accumulation of capital and improvement of technology skills, buildings are becoming higher and more enormous, also the portion of steel works has been increasing. In addition, it is necessary to predict the optimum level of construction cost in a reasonable way. The composition of construction is direct construction cost, indirect construction cost and so on. However, it is not enough to study about indirect construction cost rather than direct construction cost. In this study, the state of productivity and indirect construction cost are analyzed in the steel production. As a result, the productivity and ratio of indirect cost in steel plant by inserted per 1ton are suggested.

According to the trend of tail building, it is essential to improve productivity in tall building construction. However, the study on that is insufficient until now. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose a new work process of efficient concrete structural fame work to improve productivity in tall building construction. The results of being applied proposed work process are that the 5day cycle time of concrete structural frame work is cut by 0.5day and the quantity of rebar to be demanded in concrete structural frame work is reduced.

The rebar work is a labor intensive construction work with a high labor cost ratio. It is difficult to manage the productivity, construction time, and safety of rebar work. The problem of productivity decreased in rebar construction is due to a lack of workers according to the aged workers. Partial prefabrication rebar can be an alternative solution to productivity decreased in rebar work. The characteristic of partial prefabrication method is that time consuming component such as stirrup of beam assemble in factory and others assemble in site. Therefore, in this study, the time required for each rebar assembly method is measured and analyzed to confirm the possibility of productivity improvement.

This paper is aimed to handle quick work for all the workers and to improve the productivity by adding more effective content in Crane Management System(CMS). The basic of rapid service is the improvement of productivity, the information of operation as to the productivity of crane for the quick handling within yard and especially the informations of breakdown and to handle breakdown as soon as possible has a great effect on the increase of productivity.

RFID is an essential and inevitable technologies in logistics and manufacturing ones. The progress of RFID technology is still very slow owing to the cost of RFID and peripheral technologies however, some foreign countries such as US and Japan have already adopted RFID into real life for example, transportation and logistics and established its technologies as a commercial ones. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to prove that RFID technology can improve productivity and to take an example of a company adopted RFID technology had improved 50% or more increase in productivity. By demonstrating that, the necessity and effectiveness of RFID has proven. There are still many things to be solved like the development of RFID attaching machine. The machine was also suggested in this study.

Reinforced concrete construction is one of the labor intensive construction projects and its productivity is very low. It is necessary to increase the productivity of rebar construction for improving the productivity of construction work. Therefore, in this study, the rebar drawings of apartment buildings are analyzed to prefabricate wall rebar unit shaped mesh in the factory and installing it on site. If the proposed wall rebar unit is applied to apartment construction working time of wall rebar can be reduced by 50% or more.

This study was carried out to evaluate the harmful factors in working environments and to investigate the labor productivity after improvement of environments, surveying 93 industrial establishments of 10 industries located in Youngdeungpo industrial area in Seoul. The results obtained were as follows: 1) The highest noise level of 125dB(A) was indicated at the rolling process of transport equipment manufacturing industry. 2) The best illumination level was shown in precise machinery industry and the worst was indicated in rubber products, metallic products and transport equipment manufacturing industries. 3) Thermal conditions were above threshold limit value (TLV) at more than two processes of all industries except printing industry. 4) The highest dust concentration was determined in textile and wearing manufacturing industry. 5) Organic solvents were detected at 52 processes in 93 industrial establishments and 33 processes of them showed higher than TLV. The results about harmful chemicals were as follows: a) sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$)was determined higher than TLV on welding process of metallic product manufacturing industry and heat treatment process of transport equipment manufacturing industry. b) Carbon monoxide (CO) concentration was 700ppm at heat treatment process of transport equipment manufacturing industry, indicating 14 times of TLV. c) vinylchloride concentration in the air of PVC raw material mixing process and PVC preparation process of chemical product manufacturing industry was determined higher than TLV. d) Hydrochloride (HCl) concentration in the air of wire expanding process of transport equipment manufacturing industry was determined higher than TLV. 7) Higher values of lead concentration than TLV were determined at lead welding metallic product manufacturing industry and type planting process of process of printing industry, $1.8mg/m^3$ and $0.3mg/m^3$ respectively. 9) 22, 968 of 52, 855 workers (i.e. 43.5%) in 93 industries were exposed to various harmful agents. 10) It was found that the improvement of illumination in electric apparatus manufacturing industry (from 20~40 lux to 420 lux) resulted in an increase in productivity of 6.5% per capita and a decrease in faulty products of 19%. 11) Improvement of environments using local exhaust ventilation system resulted in a decrease of harmful substances lower than TLV and an increase in productivity of 11.4%. 12) Improvement of shovelling tools based on ergonomics resulted in a reduction in energy expenditure of 25.3% and an increase in productivity of 32.2% per capita.

Productivity is the most important factor directly link to success and failure of a work in construction industry. To evaluate this productivity, simulation technique is verified as a fine inspection tool through various experiment reports. On this project, we have proved the part of improvement on productivity using this simulation technique, applied to this field sites. We have used CYCLONE, which is the most appropriate simulation technique on this project. As a result of Simulation analysis, it has been confirmed that the productivity was enhanced due to the advancement of equipment, hence the reduction of air is being effected.
