Feasibility Study on the Application of Quality Assurance in Research and Development

연구개발(硏究開發) 품질보증(品質保證)의 적용(適用) 타당성(妥當性)에 관(關)한 조사연구(調査硏究)

Through the application of Quality Assurance(QA) techniques in R&D activities, we can approach for cost reduction and productivity improvement with high reliability. Application of QA systems in R&D in developed countries were studied, a enquete survey was performed to investigate researcher's understanding of QA in R&D. As a result of this study, it is considered desirable that QA system be applied partially to the feasible work areas at first, and the scope of application be enlarged to extended areas, later. For these aims, various and feasible QA system should be developed and established. As the need for quality assurance in R&D is expected to be increased continuously in the future, it is imperative for us to be prepared for the application of QA system in R&D activities.
