Since 2000s, proper utilization of IoT (Internet of Things) technology is a key factor for a firm to become more competitive, and this stream is not exceptional for the food and agriculture industry. Along with this stream, Korea government organization, for example MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs), elected to adopt IoT technology, such as USN and RFID technologies, in the food and agriculture industry. Based on the IoT technology, MAFARA launched six "IoT based farm" project in 2007. IoT based farm project includes IoT based greenhouse system project, and it shows drastic efficiency in terms of cost reduction. When it comes to the productivity, however, the effect of IoT based greenhouse system is still ambiguous. In this regard, this study conducted systems analysis and design for IoT based tomato greenhouse in order to help farmers' decision making related to the productivity by establishing standardized database structure and designing output form to analyze productivity indices. Proposed systems analysis and design can be utilized as a data analysis tools by farmers. Productivity data from the proposed systems is can be used by researchers to identify the relationship among environment, plant growth and productivity. Policy makers also can refer to the data and output forms to predict the quantity of fruit during certain period and to revise production guideline more precisely.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the combined productivity at automated container terminal. We present a simulation model for transport vehicle that perform the container transportation between apron and yard with a perpendicular yard layout. Usually, the efficiency of container terminal is evaluated by productivity of container cranes at apron, and though there are enough support of transport vehicles and yard cranes, can improve the productivity of container cranes. Especially, transport vehicle is very important factor in productivity of container cranes and has variable work productivity according to loading and unloading situation. Therefore, a method that can estimate combined productivity of equipment is required. We performed various simulation experiment and analyzed combined productivity to estimate the required number of equipment.

The productivity decrease in environment-friendly farming is the biggest obstacle for the development of environment-friendly food market. This paper aimed to analyze the productivity change in environment-friendly farming of fruit vegetables (oriental melon, watermelon, and strawberry). Box-Cox transformation model was used to infer the functional form of productivity change. The results showed that the periods of productivity restoration to 90% level in oriental melon, strawberry, and watermelon were 14.1 years, 11.4 years, and 6.0 years, respectively. The forms of productivity restoration of fruit vegetables showed differences due to their growth characteristics, incidences of crop pests, preference for the environment- friendly agricultural products, cultivation period and so on. Because the form and period of productivity restoration were different depending on kinds of fruit vegetable, the government policy should be established considering this point of view.

Due to the labor-intensiveness, high investment cost, long execution time, frequent change orders, and many stakeholders in a BIM project, a BIM manager is bound to face a lot of risks to make decisions in cost managing process. Since the productivity of a BIM team will affect the execution cost, this study investigates a simple method of assessing the productivity of a BIM team using the working timesheet records of the team. In this research, the productivity of a BIM team is defined as the effective working floor area (in square meters) of BIM uses per labor-time (in man-months) spent by the team. After the applicability of this method is tested by regression analysis using data from 5 real BIM projects in the construction phase, it is found that the simple productivity definition adopted in the method, although easy-to-implement, does not produce a statistically constant productivity value. More research is therefore needed in the future to devise better indicator(s) for assessing the productivity of a BIM team.

우리나라의 상수도 사업은 규모의 영세성, 지역에 따른 경영과 서비스의 불균형, 지역 간 수자원의 이용 및 관리에 있어 불합리한 문제점 등 취약한 산업구조로 인해 효율이 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자료포락분석(data envelopment analysis)을 활용한 효율성 분석 및 맘퀴스트(Malmquist) 지수 그리고 통계적 방법을 통해 전라북도 지방상수도 사업소의 생산성 변화를 탐색적으로 파악해 보았다. 그 결과 규모 효율성이 1인 사업소가 6개로 나타났으며, 주로 군 단위 사업소에서 평균 이하의 생산성지수를 보임으로써 이들 사업소들은 생산성 증가를 위한 노력을 경주할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 DEA뿐만 아니라 맘퀴스트 생산성 분석을 통하여 생산성의 변화를 측정한다는 점에서 선행연구들과 차별화되는 바, 전라북도 지역 상수도 부문의 효율성을 제고하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this paper is to identify factors affecting the optimum mix of required inputs and other relevant factors which account for the variation in physician's productivity in general hospitals, and to find out their implications for the efficient health planning and management. An extended version of Cobb-Douglas production function and cross sectional data of one day patient census from all general hospitals in Korea in 1988 were used in the analysis. Main results of the analysis and their implications could be summarized as follows : (1) The production function for physician's inpatient service shows the evidence of economies of scale, but the production function for physician's outpatient and adjusted-patient service, which combines both out- and in-patient service, shows that of dis-economies of scale. (2) The physician's role for production for all service is smaller than auxiliary personnel's, which imply that more intensive utilization of nurses, nursing aides and other auxiliary personnel is desirable for improving general hospital productivity (3) In case of physician's inpatient and adjusted-patient service, nurses' role is greater than nursing aides'. Therefore, more extensive utilization of nurses is recommended for the efficient operation of general hospitals. (4) The factor of hospital beds plays the leading role among required inputs in the production for physician's in- and adjusted-patient service. (5) The physician's productivity of general hospitals in rural area is lower than that in urban area. And the productivity of teaching hospitals is lower than that of the other hospitals. Further analysis was made in physician production function based upon the size of hospitals, namely those hospitals below 250 beds and those above. Explained variances by the factor of hospital beds was significantly increased in the case of those hospitals above 250. A more detailed and thorough investigation is needed for verifying factors influencing physician's productivity in general hospitals in Korea.

우리나라는 동북아지역에서 아시아 허브항만의 위상을 유지하기 위해 항만시스템의 업그레이드에 막대한 예산을 투입하고 있다. 그 결과로 우리나라 대표항만인 부산항은 세계 5위 수준의 컨테이너 물동량 처리 수준을 보이고 있다. 그러나 부산항을 제외한 다른 항만은 낮은 순위에 자리하고 있다. 이 연구는 자료포락분석(DEA) 모델과 Malmquist 생산성지수(MPI)를 이용하여 국내 주요 항만의 효율성과 생산성을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 특히 변수의 수가 의사결정단위(DMU) 수를 초과할 경우 판별력이 약해지는 DEA모델을 보완하기 주성분분석(PCA, Principal Component Analysis)을 DEA모델에 결합한 PCA-DEA모델을 이용하였다. 그리고 MPI는 다년간의 항만의 생산성을 측정하기 위하여 적용하였다. 그 결과로 우리나라 주요항만의 효율성과 생산성 순위를 결정할 수 있었으며, 광양항과 울산항 2010년과 2018년 비교시 효율성 측면에서 상위권을 보였으며, 생산성 분석 결과에 있어서 대산항과 목포항이 다른 항만에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 항만별 경쟁력을 객관적으로 평가하고 전략을 마련하는데 활용될 수 있다.
