In the light of globalisation and the international division of labour, the article will stress the importance of a new conception of quality management, focusing more on the social and environmental aspects of quality in global supply chains with a particular emphasis on suppliers' perspectives. The increasing focus on corporate social responsibility, business ethics, corporate citizenship, sustainable development etc. indicates that managers have failed to see social and environmental aspects of the production as an integrated part of quality.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the trend of quality research by analyzing the entire JKSQM(Journal of the Korean Society for Quality Management). Methods: This study is to analyze the frequency of words used in the abstract of the all JKSQM by applying the text mining processing. We use wordcrowd among text mining techniques. Results: 22 words of high frequency were presented in the abstract of the paper published in the JKSQM for 42 years. The frequency of words was shown on a 10 year basis, and the four important words were plotted on a change graph for each Vol. Frequent words of each Vol. are added in the appendix. Conclusion: The main research results are as follows. First, there has been no significant change in research trends over the last 40 years. Second, the early SQC words have been widely used, and since 1990, many words such as service-oriented words have been used, indicating a change in the times. Third, the use of the words of the 4th industrial revolution since 2010 is weak. In the above analysis, the trend of quality research in Korea is within the quality category and can be considered conservative. Now, it is expected that everything will be changed in the period of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and it is time to study the direction of quality in Korea.

Purpose: It can be said that the 21st century is the age of creativity. However creativity has been relatively less considered in comparison with control and continuous improvement in quality management. How to incorporate creativity into quality management is treated in this paper. Methods: The opposing characteristics of quality and creativity are examined, and the possible outcomes resulted from the conflict are reviewed. Previous researches on managing evolutionary and revolutionary changes are also examined. Results: Quality and creativity require each other although they have incompatible characteristics, and can be incorporated into the innovation cycle. Conclusion: Creative thinking tools such as SIT should be included in the quality training and education for the effective operation of the innovation cycle.

The AS9100 standard builds upon the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system requirements(in their entirety) and defines additional quality management system requirements for the aerospace industry. The 9100 standard on quality management system requirements is intended to be used at all levels of the supplier chain. The International Aerospace Quality Group has released a revision to 9100 for the aviation, space and defense industries. This change aims at improvement on quality, schedule and cost performance by adopting new requirements based on stakeholders' needs. This paper is to review how the AS9100 QMS Requirement has been established and improved, and to communicate the significant changes from AS9100, Rev. B to Rev. C focusing on reasons for revisions. The proposed schedule and considerations on the transition of the changes to Rev. C are also dealt with in this paper.

There have been few studies which deal with the linkage between a corporate strategy and its management control system. Especially, no empirical study has been done in Korea to figure out if management control systems of Korean companies are designed and implemented to support companies' objectives and strategies. Based on the survey results of 68 companies we empirically tested if Korean companies are implementing appropriate control systems to complement their Quality strategies. Two representative quality strategies were classified into ECL(Economic Conformance-Level) and ZD(Zero-Defect) strategy. It was measured by a set of seven attitude questions addressing whether the managers adhered to ECL strategy or ZD Quality strategy. In addition, we checked if there is a difference m the level of commitment to the quality depending on the adoption of quality cost system. The results partly support the second hypothesis and regarding the first analysis we can conclude that there is not a strong linkage between Korean companies' ZD strategy and their management control systems.

This paper considers supplier selection process for e-business & ISO 9001 quality management system environments. Determining suitable suppliers in the electronic commerce has become a key strategic consideration. However, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. In this paper, a Quality Estimated Supplier Selection (QESS) model is proposed to deal with the supplier selection problems in the e-business(Business to Business: B to B). In the supplier selection, quality management factors will be considered for the first time, and then price, and delivery etc. In the first level, we deal with the quality management factors such as quality management audit, product test, engineering man-power, capability index and training time etc., based on the five point scale. In the second level, a QESS model determines the final solution by considering factors such as price, production lead-time and delivery time.
