It has been well known that organic industrial solvents such as toluene, xylene and styrene are environmental health hazards causing occupational diseases to workers. The detection of biological metabolites of toluene, xylene and styrene in blood, urine, breast milk, saliva, and hair of workers exposed to these organic industrial solvents is a useful tool for assessing the amount of organic industrial solvents. Therefor, the external analytical quality assurance program is extremely important work for increasing reliability of the data analyzed in the special health examination laboratory. We evaluated the results of analysis by Korean analytical quality assurance program from the second half 2007 to the first half 2009. The number of participants for analytical quality assurance program for both mandatory item and one of optional items, hippuric acid and methylhippuric acid were 116-122, 116-122 and 105-115 laboratories, respectively. The proficient rate of the special health examination laboratories analyzed both mandatory item and optional item, hippuric acid and methylhippuric acid were 92-98%, 92-98% and 96-98%, respectively. We can conclude from our data that the analytical quality assurance program is a essential tool for improvement of reliability on the data analyzed in the special health examination laboratories.

In light of the rapid development of the space industry, there has been increased attention on small satellites. These satellites rely on components that are considered to have lower reliability compared to larger-scale satellites. As a result, predicting reliability becomes even more crucial in this context. Therefore, this study aims to compare three reliability prediction techniques: MIL-HDBK-217F, RiAC-HDBK-217Plus, and FIDES. The goal is to determine a suitable reliability standard specifically for nano-satellites. Furthermore, we have refined the quality assurance factors of the manufacturing company. These factors have been adjusted to be applicable across various industrial sectors, with a particular focus on the selected FIDES prediction standard. This approach ensures that the scoring system accurately reflects the suitability for the aerospace industry. Finally, by implementing this refined system, we confirm the impact of the manufacturer's quality assurance level on the total failure rate.

This study aimed to improve the reliability of the assurance pressure of a gun barrel due to the difference between the US Standard and Korean Standard. In addition, the reliability was found to differ according to the maximum pressure of the Ammunition, so restrictions are expected. During the development of the new bullet, the maximum pressure of the bullet was approximately 3,000 psi higher than the assurance pressure of the gun barrel. To solve this problem, the reliability of the cannon was analyzed when the assurance pressure of the gun barrel increased. First of all, the technical data from overseas were reviewed to check for cases of increased assurance pressure, and tests were performed to determine if it could withstand high pressure through a verification firing test. Finally, the simulation analyzed the stability of the recoil buffer. The study found no abnormal results in all items, suggesting that an increase in the assurance pressure for a gun barrel was possible. This study is expected to be used as basic data for future reliability studies of similar equipment.

인공위성은 지상 시스템과는 달리 극한 발사환경 및 우주환경에 노출되고, 운용 중 수리가 불가능하며, 임무 실패에 따른 위험비용이 매우 크기 때문에 고신뢰성, 고비용의 부품, 장비 및 시스템을 채택하여 개념설계단계에서부터 신뢰성을 관리한다. 신뢰성 관리의 주요 목적은 설계변경 및 개발 사이클의 반복을 최소화하고, 개발비용을 절감하며, 시스템의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 것으로서, 대부분의 우주시스템 개발 프로젝트에서는 제품보증(Product Assurance) 활동의 일환으로 수행된다. 제품보증 업무는 크게 품질보증, 신뢰성 관리, EEE 부품관리, 재료 및 공정(Material & Process) 관리, 오염관리, 소프트웨어 품질보증 등으로 구분되지만, 포괄적인 의미의 신뢰성 관리 범주에 이를 모두 포함시키기도 한다. 인공 위성의 개발과정에서 기술성능지표 중 하나로서 중점 관리되고 있는 시스템 신뢰성 관리의 세부기법, 프로세스, 개선 필요사항 등에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

Recently, product-reliability and process-reliability in product development processes has been regarded as an important issue in many manufacturers. TRIZ which is theory for inventive solving is required to obtain reliability of each process. To solve the technological problems, TRIZ provides problems can be occurred in product development processes as a contradiction matrix based on 40 creative invention principles with alternatives for physical and technological contradiction. This paper suggests the method for inventive solving to ensure the reliability assurance of product development processes based on TRIZ.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to escape from the existing defense quality policy focused on government-led quality assurance for mass-produced items and to secure quality reliability of weapon systems through a defense quality policy paradigm shift based on designing a verification systems anchored on reliability through the enhancement of military supply quality control in the development stage, the enhancement of quality responsibility of the manufacturing contractor and other methods. Methods: For the shift to the quality-based defense quality policy, the status and the problems of the status quo are analyzed and the direction of future defense quality policy is suggested based on literature review of the concept of reliability and reliability in the field of defense, on case studies of global corporations and their quality policies, on the background on quality assurance in defense, and on case studies of quality policies in other government organizations, Results: Based on the case studies of quality policies in global corporations and other government agencies, the importance of preventive quality control from the early development stages, quality control based on the reliability of the materials and parts, and shift of the quality policy to a certification system to achieve these objectives were highlighted. Conclusion: To secure reliability of weapon system quality, the quality policy must be shifted to a system focused on reliability-based design and verification and there is a further need to enhance the operational efficiency and capacity of DTaQ based on studies and evaluation of weapon system reliability.

The reliability assurance with respect to the test procedure and results of the out-pile mechanical performance test for the nuclear fuel assembly is an essential task to assure the test quality and to get a permission for fuel loading into the commercial reactor core. For the case of vibration test, which is carried out to obtain basic dynamic characteristics of the fuel assembly, proper management and appropriate calibration of instruments and devices used in the test, various efforts to minimize the possible error during the test and signal acquisition process are needed. Additionally, the deep understanding both of the theoretical assumption and simplification cation for the signal processing/modal analysis and of the functions of the devices used in the test were highly required. Finally, to verify the test result to represent the accurate natural characteristics of the structure, the proper correlation analysis between the theoretical and experimental method has to be carried out. In this study, the overall procedure and result of lateral vibration test for the fuel assembly's mechanical characterization were briefly introduced. A series of measures to assure and improve the reliability of the vibration test were discussed.
