  • The process of producing software differs in many aspects from that of traditional manufacturing. Software is not manufactured in the classical sense. Development of software more closely resembles the development effort that goes into design new product [1-3]. In this article, we first describe the foundations of process improvement, which all processes can share. The process improvement differences between software and manufacturing process are then discussed, and a defect driven process inspection and improvement is introduced. Based on the discussion, two experiments were designed and the results of the results were collected. Through the comparison, we found that some efficient quality improvement approaches can be easily adapted in the software improvement and that the inspection efficiency is also significant.

  • Researchers continue to explore possibilities for expanding additive manufacturing (AM) technologies into direct product manufacturing. One limitation is in the materials available for use in AM that can meet the needs of end-use applications. Stereolithography (SL) is an AM technology well known for its precision and high quality surface finish capabilities. SL builds parts by selectively crosslinking or solidifying photo-curable liquid resins, and the resin industry has been continuously developing new resins with improved performance characteristics. This paper introduces a unique SL machine that can fabricate parts out of multiple SL materials. The technology is based on using multiple vats positioned on a rotating vat carousel that contain different photo-curable materials. To change the material during the process, the build platform is raised out of the current vat, a new vat with a different material is rotated under the platform, and the platform is submerged into the new vat so that the new material can be used. This paper introduces a new vat exchange mechanism, cleaning process, recoating process, resin leveling mechanism and process planning technologies for the implementation of multiple material SL. An overview of the system framework is provided and the system integration and control software is described. In addition, several multiple material test parts are designed, fabricated, and described.

  • Motorola which had developed and commercialized wireless telephone and mobile phone for the first time in the world made a decision on the separation of the mobile unit from the Motorola due to the continuous bad performance turn. In addition, the Korean company named Raincom which had developed and commercialized MP3 player have been disappeared since Raincom failed to compete with iPod of Apples. What is the main cause the companies that have been top of the world level weed out of IT product market? For less product life cycle and globalization of market, the company's competitiveness tends to be determined based on company's creative capability, rather than process implementation capability. Thus, companies spent a great amount of time and effort in the introduction of creativity management and R&D activities. However, as company's continuous investment on R&D and innovation activities did not lead to business performance, they starts to pay much attention on the effective R&D and innovation activities. Therefore, this paper tries to solve the limitation of the effectiveness of R&D activities by introducing the concept of 'creative quality'. The creative quality is executed by the creative process, which is designed for getting over the limitation of the traditional brainstorming method. This paper presents the concept so called 'creative quality management' and expects it to be an alternative to conquest the limitation of six sigma management.

  • Finite failure NHPP models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. Accurate predictions of software release times, and estimation of the reliability and availability of a software product require quantification of a critical element of the software testing process : test coverage. This model called enhanced non-homogeneous poission process(ENHPP). In this paper, exponential coverage and S-coverage model was reviewed, proposes the exponentiated exponential coverage reliability model, which maked out efficiency substituted for gamma and Weibull model(2 parameter shape illustrated by Gupta and Kundu(2001). In this analysis of software failure data, algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on SSE statistics for the sake of efficient model, was employed.

  • 현재 우리나라는 제조업 중심 사회에서 서비스 중심 사회로 경제구조가 변화해 가고 있다. 이에 따라 기업 성장의 원동력으로서의 기술혁신의 역할을 서비스 산업에도 적용하는 연구가 시작되고 있다. 그간 제조업에서의 기술혁신에 대한 연구는 많이 있었으나, 서비스 산업의 기술혁신에 대해서는 연구가 부족했다. 특히 서비스 산업의 개별 섹터를 심층적으로 분석한 연구도 역시 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 이동전화 서비스 산업을 중심으로 서비스 산업에서 나타나는 기술혁신의 동태성을 살펴 보았다. 기존 이동전화 서비스 산업을 다룬 연구에서는 주로 국가별 비교로서 규제나 법개정에 의한 파급효과를 관찰하는 정치적인 목적이 강했으며, 서비스 산업 관점에서 제조업의 제품혁신에 해당하는 신규 서비스 개발, 제조업의 공정혁신에 해당하는 운용기술개선의 변화를 기술혁신의 관점에서는 연구하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 서비스 혁신을 이동전화 서비스 산업에서의 대규모 표준화된 통신 네트워크에서 고객의 요청에 의해 즉시 생산되는 무형의 산물로서 서비스 사업자의 기술개발에 의해 창출된 것으로 정의하였다. 구체적으로 고객이 제공받는 서비스 그 자체의 변화로서 새로운 기능이 추가되는 경우를 서비스 제품 혁신(Service product innovation), 고객에게 서비스를 제공하는 과정의 변화나 기능을 효율적으로 제공하는 것을 서비스 과정 혁신(Service process innovation)으로 정의하였으며 이의 변화를 통해 이동전화 서비스 산업의 기술혁신패턴 파악 및 서비스의 수명주기에 따른 혁신의 세부 형태를 살펴보고 기술혁신의 동태성을 파악하였다. 연구의 결과, 이동전화 서비스 산업에서는 기존의 제조업에서 나타나는 선 제품혁신, 후 공정혁신의 혁신패턴과는 반대로, 공정혁신이 먼저 발생한 후, 제품혁신이 나타나는 동태성을 보여주었다. 또 서비스의 수명주기에 따라 세부적인 혁신의 형태가 달라지는 모습을 확인 할 수 있었다.a}E$)는 동결건조 0.5%가 control사이에서 0.95로 가장 색차가 크게 나타났으며, 그 다음이 냉동분쇄 0.5% 0.83으로 나타나 송이의 첨가율이 높을수록 색차가 크게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있다. 색차가 가장 낮은 제품은 법동분쇄 0.3%, 동결건조 0.3%로 나타났다. 송이양갱의 색(color), 냄새(flavor), 맛(taste), 외관(appearances), 질감(viscosity), 종합적 평가(overall acceptability) 등의 관능평가를 실시한 결과 중 색에 대한 기호도는 냉동분쇄 0.1% 송이양갱이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 집단간 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았고, 냄새는 동결건조 0.1%의 송이양갱이 3.38로 가장 점수가 높았으며, 냉동분쇄 0.3%의 송이양갱이 2.81로 가장 낮은 기호도를 나타내었다. 맛에서는 p<0.01수준에서 집단간 유의한 차이를 나타내었는데, 동결건조 0.1%가 그 중 가장 높은 기호도를 나타내었으며, 그 다음이 동결건조 0.5%였다. 가장 낮은 선호도를 나타낸 것은 열풍건조 0.5%였다. 질감은 P<.05 수준에서 집단간 유의미한 차이를 나타내었으며 동결건조 0.1%가 가장 높은 기호도를 나타내었으며, 동결건조 0.5%함유 송이양갱이 1.21로서, 현저히 낮은 기호도를 나타내었다. 종합적인 평가에서는 동결건조 0.1%함유 송이양갱이 가장 높은 기호도를 나타내었고 열풍건조 0.5% 함유 송이양갱이 가장 낮은 기호도를 나타내었다. 이상의 연구결과에서 각기 다른 전처리를 한 송이의 첨가량에 따른 송이양갱의 이화학적 특성에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 동결 건조한 송이를 0.15% 첨가한 송이양갱이 관능적 기호도 특성에서 가장 적당한 것으로 평가되어 실용화에는 동결건조 처리한 송이버섯을 0.1% 첨가하여 송이양갱을 제조하는 것이 가장 좋은 것으로 권장된다.ula showed a good agreement with the experimen

  • This paper aims to study the effect of academia-industrial cooperation on the technical innovation of small and medium-sized companies. A survey was conducted on about 1,100 businesses located in the Sihwa-Banwol industrial estate to analyze the consequence of three factors of academia-industrial cooperation. the joint use of equipments, technological support of universities to businesses, and cooperative technological development through technical guidance-on entrepreneurial capability and their knowledge-absorption ability, and ultimately on their technological innovation,. The validity of the survey result was tested through the Structural Equation Model. On the basis of the comparison between companies which have participated in academy-industry cooperation and companies which have not, this paper suggests that venture businesses should take advantage of the cooperation with universities to boost their competitiveness. The analysis of the three individual factors of the academy-industry cooperation based on the Structural Equation Model shows that all of them have remarkable influence on entrepreneurial capability, but that they don't have as much impact on businesses' knowledge absorption ability. However, the outcome of technological innovation of businesses is primarily influenced by entrepreneurial capability rather than their knowledge absorption ability. The survey also shows that the three factors of the cooperation have an equal impact on the competitiveness of companies regardless of their business type or their products' growth stages. As the companies involved in academy industry cooperation outweigh other businesses, in terms of technological innovation, the numbers of new product development, and the numbers of their process improvement cases, this paper argues that new strategies should be taken for the businesses to fully take advantage of academy-industry cooperation.
