Logistics companies distinguish between medium-sized business and small business according to the size of enterprises. Of course, conglomerates are called global corporations. In this study, mid-sized companies over a certain size or more and those below are classified and decide the priorities among important factors to secure competitiveness in logistics companies are determined through AHP technique. Mid-sized companies are companies that can provide more than two logistics services. For example, they provide warehousing and transportation services in the same time. small companies are companies that can mostly provide one functional service. Warehousing, transportation, manpower, and information are listed as factors in this study. As a result of the study, medium-sized companies emphasized on the importance of transportation. When it comes to small companies, warehousing was emphasized as an important factor. Due to the simultaneous and contemporary service of warehousing and transportation in small-sized company, the reliable image of the company will be underestimated in case of delays in transportation. Competitiveness will also be weakened. Global corporations or conglomerates will start to consider relocating warehousing areas to others except for the central storage hub. They won't plan to invest directly, either. Therefore, it will be possible to secure competitiveness by providing the function of warehousing and to signed easily partnership.

Since the six sigma strategy was first introduced to Korean enterprises in 1997, it has been taken as an important business strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of major Korean companies under the global competitive environment. These major companies also demand their suppliers to implement six sigma. But small and medium sized companies have several barriers to overcome for successful implementation of six sigma. First, the financial status is not so sound to support initial expenses for launching six sigma. Second, physical and human resources are not sufficient for driving six sigma. And finally, the infrastructure is not well established to manage and support the six sigma program. In this paper, we suggest a method to overcome these barriers and propose a model for establishing six sigma in a small and medium sized company. We also provide some practical case studies.

대기업과 중소기업 간의 도움이 필요한 부분을 서로 보완시키는 상생협력방안은 우리나라 실정에 맞게 선진국의 장점을 토대로 구성하며 중소업체를 선정하는 데에 필요한 여러 항목들이 일반기업체들과는 달리 식품안전이라는 문제를 다룬다는 특징이 있어 이 부분은 통괄적인 지원이 적용되기도 한다. 협력을 통해 지원함에 있어서 기술, 자본, 교육외에도 다양한 영역을 고려하여 발전시켜 나아가야 할 것이다. 식품산업에서 미래의 상생협력의 방향은 각 개인의 특성에 따른 맞춤형 형태를 취하게 되므로 인공지능, 사물인터넷, 블록체인, 5G, 3D프린터 등 미래 유망 혁신기술을 바탕으로 하여 상생협력이 가능할 것으로 보인다. 제도 운영에 따른 비리 발생 가능성을 차단할 수 있는 방안도 모색하여 지속적으로 발전할 수 있는 방향으로 운영되었으면 한다. 여기서 언급된 사항들의 일부는 이미 기업에서 부분적으로 시행하고 있는 것들도 있다. 앞으로 많은 기업체들이 상생협력 프로그램에 적극 참여하길 바라면서 아울러 그런 시행을 하기에 앞서 참고가 될 만한 사항을 정리한 것이다. 아무쪼록 대기업의 매력적인 부분과 중소기업의 능력들이 서로 조화를 이루면서 부족한 부분을 채워 최대한의 효과를 산출함으로써 우리나라 식품산업체의 발전을 가져 오기를 기대한다.

Korean construction industry has developed with national economy growth for a couple of decades. However, because of slump of real estate, the domestic construction industry was intimidated. In this situation, many construction company has no choice but to go abroad to find construction projects. However, almost small or medium-sized construction companies are very hard to operate their business because they have small funding ability and weak labor power. Therefore, this study aims to propose an assessment tool through analyzing risk factors of overseas construction projects for small or medium-sized companies by examining preceding research and interviewing industry experts. Weights of the risk factors are determined through the surveys of the industry practitioners. All of the data is configured into the assessment tool and this converts the quantitative information which leads to the optimal of strategies choice. This paper provides a quantitative measurement of possible performance and detailed assessment of each itemized risk factors. This assessment tool is qualified for industry experts so that it can safely be applied to the future projects. Ultimately, many small or medium sized construction companies will benefit from the tool proposed in this study to examine the potential of the overseas market expansion.

정부의 지속적인 수출 지원정책 추진에 따른 다양한 지원으로 중소기업 수출의 양적확대가 이루어지고는 있으나, 대기업 중심의 수출성장 현상이 지속되고 있다. 수출기업이 내수기업보다 고용창출과 성장성면에서 우수하다는 조사결과를 감안하면 내수기업을 수출기업으로 전환하게 되면 고용창출과 수출 증가뿐만 아니라 해당 중소기업의 발전도 가능하다. 따라서 중소기업의 수출을 효과적으로 지원하고 지속적인 수출기업으로 유지하기 위한 지원 정책의 전환이 필요한 시점이다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 수출 중소기업의 수출 환경과 현황분석을 통하여 중소기업의 수출 촉진과 지속적인 수출 기업 유지를 위한 전략 수립에 필요한 시사점을 도출하는데 연구 목적이 있다.

The purpose of the current study is to identify the critical success factors of information systems in small-and-medium-sized firms in general, and also to investigate any differences of those critical success factors between two different industries: the electronic and textile industries. To accomplish this purpose, we collected and analyzed 115 and 108 questionnaires from the electronic and textile industries respectively. From the results of statistical analysis, critical success factors of small-and-medium-sized companies in general were obtained, and critical success factors from two industries were compared and the differences were able to be identified. The results of the analysis of the questionnaires are as follows: 1) The organizational characteristics of the electronic industry showed some differences from those of the textile industry; 2) Small-and-medium-sized companies in the electronic industry appeared to have some differences from companies in the textile industry in terms of critical success factors of information systems. Such factors as education and training, quality level of software, capability of users, business processes, standardization of data management, level of organization, user involvement, support of top management were significantly different between two industries.

본 연구에서는 국내 중소 제조기업을 대상으로 스마트팩토리의 구축요인에 따른 활용 정도를 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 스마트팩토리를 기존의 목표와 취지에 맞게 활용하기 위해서 스마트팩토리 도입에 따른 중소 제조기업의 구축요인에 대한 사전에 기업의 특성에 맞는 전략적 검토가 필요하다는 점을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 조직 내 구성원들이 스마트팩토리에 대해 어떻게 받아들이고 수용하느냐 따라 활용의 정도는 차이가 있다는 점을 실증분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 중소 제조기업 뿐 만 아니라 많은 기업은 조직 내 구성원들이 스마트팩토리에 따른 변화의 불안감을 갖지 않고, 적극적 참여를 유도하고 이를 통해 스마트팩토리 활용도를 높이기 위해 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다.
