Abstract

The development of ICT brings a big change in manufacturing industries, and new information technology such as IoT, AR, and big data was applied on manufacturing process. As a result, the concept of smart factory has been introduced as a new manufacturing paradigm. In fact advanced countries like USA, Germany, and Japan have actively introduced smart factory in their manufacturing industries such as electronic, automobile, machinery, to improve production efficiency and quality. The manufacturing environment has been changed into flexible system, so that smart factory will be leading future manufacturing industries. Thes changes have more severe influence on Korean manufacturing industries. Mny industrial companies, have a strong interest in smart factory and they, particularly big enterprises, have been adopting smart factory to increase their manufacturing efficiencies. However, Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have many financial and technological difficulties so that the diffusion of smart factory in Korean SMEs has not been satisfiable up to present. However, smart factory is very important for enhancing their competitiveness in global market. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the standardization strategy of smart factory in so-called Korean 'roots industry' by presuming that the standardization will activate the diffusion of smart factory among Korean SMEs. For this purpose, first, this study examines the competitiveness of SMEs, especially in 'roots industry' and identifies the necessity of diffusion of smart factory among those SMEs. Second, based on the active review on the existing literature, this study identifies four factor groups that would influence the adoption or diffusion of standardized smart factory. They are technological, organizational, industrial and policy factors. Third, using those four factors, this study made two comprehensive case analyses on the adoption and diffusion of smart factory. These two companies belong to molding sector which is one of the important six sectors in 'root industry'. Finally, based on the theoretical and empirical analyse, this study suggests four strategies for activating the standardization of smart factory; international standardization, government-leading standardization, firm-leading standardization, and non-standardization.

정보통신(ICT)의 발달은 제조업에 있어 큰 변화를 가져왔으며 제조공정에는 사물인터넷, 증강현실, 빅데이터와 같은 최신 정보기술이 적용되어 스마트공장이라는 이름으로 진화하고 있다. 이에 미국, 독일, 일본 등 선진국들은 전기전자, 자동차, 기계 등의 제조업에서 스마트공장을 활발히 도입함에 따라 기존의 제조기업들의 생산품질을 높이고, 생산 환경은 유연한 체제로 변화시키면서 미래 제조업을 앞당기고 있다. 이러한 변화는 국내 제조업에까지 영향을 미치게 되었으며 대기업 중심으로 스마트공장이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 중소기업들은 기술적, 재무적 어려움으로 인해 스마트공장을 적극적으로 도입하고 있지 못하다. 이같은 배경 속에서 본 논문은 스마트공장의 표준화가 중소기업들의 스마트공장의 활용에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 전제하고 우리나라 중소기업들의 스마트공장의 표준화 전략 및 확산 방안을 도출하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 이론분석을 통하여 스마트공장의 확산에 영향을 미치는 요소를 기술적 요인, 조직적 요인, 산업적 요인, 정책적 요인으로 도출 분류하고 사례분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 대상은 우리나라 제조업의 핵심이 되고 있는 뿌리산업이며, 특히 금형분야의 두 기업을 대상으로 실시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 향후 뿌리산업 중소기업들에게 스마트공장 구축을 위한 표준화 전략 4가지, 즉 국제 표준화, 정부주도 표준화, 기업주도 표준화, 비표준화 추진 등을 도출 및 제안하였다.
