A Smart factories are systems that enable quick response to customer demands, reduce defect rates, and maximize productivity. They have evolved from manual labor-intensive processes to automation and now to cyber-physical systems with the help of information and communication technology. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are still unable to implement even the initial stages of smart factories due to various environmental and economic constraints. Additionally, there is a lack of awareness and understanding of the concept of smart factories. To address this issue, the Cooperation-based Smart Factory Construction Support Project was launched. This project is a differentiated support project that provides customized programs based on the size and level of the company. Research has been conducted to analyze the impact of this project on participating and non-participating companies. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the support policy and suggest efficient measures for improvement. Furthermore, the research aims to provide direction for future support projects to enhance the manufacturing competitiveness of SMEs. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the overall manufacturing industry and drive innovation.

The express courier business in Korea has been recognized as one of promising business sectors with the annual growth rate of over 10 percent since 2001. As such many domestic and foreign companies have been established and are fiercely competing to extend their own market share. The severe competition has forced them to focus on achieving cost competitiveness and high level of customer service. Small and medium-sized enterprises( SMEs) with relatively poor network infrastructure in particular are facing tougher challenges to cost reduction and efficiency improvement in their logistics networks. Strategic alliances among SMEs may be an effective way to cope with these challenges. Therefore this study proposes an integer programming model for compromised network design and its solution procedure based on maxmin and maxsum criteria for strategic alliances. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed model are demonstrated through an illustrative numerical example.

The South Korean government is actively assisting the supply of the smart factory solutions to SMEs (Small & Medium-sized Enterprises) according to its manufacturing innovation 3.0 policy for the smart manufacturing as the 4th industrial revolution era unfolds. This study analyzed the impacts of the smart factory solutions, which have been supplied by the government, on the companies performances. The effects of the level of smart factory and the operation capabilities for the smart factory solutions on company performances, and the mediating effects of manufacturing capabilities have been analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The data for this survey-based study were collected from the SMEs which implemented the smart factory solutions since 2015. The results show that the level of smart factory solutions adopted and operation capabilities for the smart factories do not have direct effects on the company performances, but their mediating effects on the manufacturing capabilities matter and the manufacturing capabilities effect directly on the company performances. In addition significant factors boosting the operation capability for the smart factory and the levels of the smart factory solutions are identified. Finally, the policy direction for enhancing the smart factory effects is presented, and the future research directions along with the limitations are suggested.

The role of Islamic spirituality in the relationship between organizational justice (OJ) and job satisfaction is investigated in this study (JS). The three components of OJ in this study are distributive, procedural, and interactional justice. Islamic spirituality (IS) is founded on piety values, and IS was used as a moderating factor in this study to alter the link between OJ and JS among Malaysian employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Four hundred sets of the questionnaire were issued using a simple random selection procedure, yielding 276 completed responses, suggesting a 69 percent response rate. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) was used to test the proposed relationships. The findings of the study demonstrate that the three OJ aspects have a considerable impact on employee JS, indicating the significance of these elements in ensuring that employees are satisfied with their jobs. IS, on the other hand, had no effect on the link between the OJ dimensions and JS. This research has added to the existing body of knowledge by giving further empirical evidence on the impact of OJ aspects on employee JS in SMEs, notably in Malaysia.

산업 4.0은 생산 설비 스스로 작업 방식을 결정하여야 한다. 하지만 중소기업에서는 여전히 이러한 작업 방식에 대한 준비가 미비한 수준이다. 본 논문에서는 생산 설비 스스로 작업을 진행할 수 있는 CPS 기반의 금형 수명 관리 시스템에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 금형 수명 관리 시스템은 금형의 shot를 통해 금형의 수명을 관리하며, 이리한 금형 수명 정보는 사용자에게 클라우드를 통해 제공된다. 이를 통해 생산 품질을 향상시켜 열약한 중소기업의 경영활동에 직간접적인 기대 효과를 높일 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

The objective of this research is to study the confirmative components of strategic intuition capability and the study of causal influence between strategic intuition capability and firm performance of SMEs in Thailand. The consistency method, structural equation models and empirical data were used to test the influential factors on firm performance. Models were then proposed for the development of the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs in Thailand. The research sample consisted of 342 SME provincial champion entrepreneurs listed with Thailand's Office of Small and Medium Enterprises. The research results reveal that the model of strategic intuition capability responded well to the empirical data. Additionally, a relationship was identified between firm performance and the causal influence of the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs. In accordance with the empirical data, the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs had a significant causal influence on firm performance (Chi-square = 35.71, df = 25, P-value = 0.07615, GFI = 0.98, AGFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.033, RMR = 0.027). Furthermore, with respect to the development of strategic intuition capability, the development of genuine wisdom based on systematic knowledge management achieved via conscious mental concentration may lead to the next stage of strategic intuition.

본 연구는 우리나라 중소제조기업의 수출성과 결정요인을 살펴보았다. 우선 기존 연구를 살펴보고, 수출성과 선행요인으로 기업가정신과 제품차별화 역량을 설정하였다. 또한, 수출성과의 선행요인으로서 제품차별화 역량을 기업가정신과 수출성과의 매개요인으로 분석하였다. 이로써, 기업가정신, 제품차별화 역량 그리고 수출성과의 통합적 모형을 구축하고 그 관계를 살펴보는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 실증분석에서는 국내 중소제조 수출기업 152개 표본에 PLS(Partial Least Square) 분석을 이용하였다. 분석도구는 SmartPLS2.0을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 중소제조기업 기업가의 위험감수성과 혁신성은 제품차별화 역량과 수출성과에 모두 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 제품차별화 역량 역시 중소제조 수출기업의 수출성과에 긍정적 영향을 준다는 점을 확인하였다. 매개효과 분석에서는 제품차별화 역량이 기업가정신 중 혁신성과 수출성과 사이에 유의한 매개효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 위험감수성에는 유의한 매개효과를 나타내지 못했다. 이러한 결과는 중소제조 수출기업에 제품차별화 역량이 필요할수록 적극적으로 혁신성향을 추구해야 한다는 점을 시사한다. 즉, 제품차별화를 시도할 때 위험감수성보다 혁신성향을 강조하는 것이 의미가 있음을 보여준다. 이에 본 연구는 제품차별화 역량의 매개효과를 분석한 점에서 동적역량이나 경쟁우위 관점에서 중소제조기업의 수출성과를 살펴보려는 연구에 이론적 시사점을 가진다. 또한, 중소제조 기업 경영자에게는 위험감수성과 혁신성의 역할이 모두 중요하지만, 낯선 환경의 외국시장 경쟁에 필요한 제품차별화 역량에는 혁신성향의 역할에 더 주목해야 한다는 실무적 시사점을 제시한다.
