The basic purpose of the JIT(Just In Time) production system is to increase profits by reducing costs-that is, by completely eliminating waste such as excessive stocks or workforce. To achieve cost reduction, Production must promptly and flexibly adapt to changes in market demand without having wasteful slacks. :iuch an ideal is accomplished by the concept of JIT, producing the necessary items in the necessary quantities at the necessary time. The JIT production system is supported by the following: reduction of setup time, smoothing of production, standardization of jobs, improvement activities, design of machine layout, Kanban system, autonomation etc. This study examined the present state of the domestic JIT production system and introduced the empirical case of JIT application a small and medium manufacturing company. A synthetic resins manufacturing company applied JIT principles to its processes and achieved the great performance.

The effluent limitations for individual industry based on the best available technology economically achievable (BAT) have been required to achieve effective regulation. BAT assessment criteria that are suitable for the circumstances of Korean industry were developed in the previous study. The criteria were applied to determine the BAT for petrochemical basic compound manufacturing (PBCM) and plastics and synthetic resins manufacturing (PSRM) industry. Wastewater discharged from the each category contains high concentration of COD and toluene. Eighteen sites were surveyed and wastewater qualities were analyzed. Six and two different technologies were applied to the PBCM and PSRM industry for the end-of-pipe treatment process, respectively. The technology candidates were evaluated in terms of environmental impacts, economically achievability, treatment performance and economical reasonability. As the result, the technology options: typical activated-sludge process + sand filtration + activated carbon adsorption (PBCM) and wet oxidation + chemical precipitation + typical activated-sludge process + chemical precipitation (PSRM) were selected as the BAT for each industry.

Objectives: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity at standard temperature and pressure. THF has been used as a solvent and a precursor for various syntheses of polymers. However, THF is known to irritate to the eyes, skin and mucus membranes. Overexposure by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact may produce nausea, dizziness, headaches, respiratory irritation and possible skin burns. The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the worker exposure and characteristics of workers in the workplaces that use or manufacture THF. Methods: Sixteen factories in Korea, which manufacture or use THF, were selected for this study and a total of 130 air samples including 104 time-weighted average (TWA) samples and 26 short-term exposure limit (STEL) samples, were collected. Air samples were collected with charcoal tube (100mg/50mg) and analyzed by gas chromatograph/flame ionization detector(GC/FID). Results: The TWA concentration of THF was 16.05ppm (GM) at PS script printing, 2.32ppm (GM) at PVC stabilizer, 1.03ppm (GM) at Lithium triethylborohydride, 0.63ppm (GM) at Polytetramethylene ether glycol(PTMEG), 0.42ppm (GM) at Manufacturing THF, 0.13ppm (GM) at Glue and 0.12ppm (GM) at synthetic rubber/resins. Two out of sampes for PS script printing exceeded 50ppm as 8-hour exposure limit of MOEL. The short term exposure to THF was 54.77ppm (GM) at PS script printing, 17.10ppm (GM) at PTMEG, 13.76ppm (GM) at Manufacturing THF, 2.86ppm (GM) at Lithium triethylborohydride, 0.87ppm (GM) at synthetic rubber/resins and 0.13ppm (GM) Glue. We found that the highest exposure process for both the TWA and STEL samples was PS script process. Two samples exceeded 100ppm as short term exposure limit of Ministry of Employment and Labor(MOEL). Conclusions: Characteristic of STEL concentration for THF is considerably different from TWA concentration in workplaces because workers could exposure high concentration of THF in a moment when they work irregularly schedule. So exposure controls for momentary works have to be prepared, and considered the skin absorption and inhale of THF.

종이팩 포장재는 크게 살균팩(Gable top carton)과 멸균팩(Aseptic carton)으로 구분할 수 있는데, 현재 종이팩 재활용 공정에서 가장 중요한 문제는 알루미늄 호일이 첩합된 종이팩이 화장지를 제조하는 재활용 공정에 유입될 경우 제품의 품질에 문제가 생길 수 있다. 최근에는 종이팩 상단의 마개나 종이팩 옆면의 스트로우 합성수지와 같은 성형구조물을 부착한 포장용기가 많이 판매되고 있는데, 이러한 성형구조물은 재활용에 방해가 되는 요인 중의 하나이다. 이와 관련하여 환경부는 2014 '포장재 재질 구조 개선 등에 관한 기준'을 고시하면서 재활용이 용이한 포장재(1등급), 재활용이 어려운 포장재(2, 3등급)로 구분하여 포장재 설계 시 가이드라인이 될 수 있도록 관련 지침을 발표하였다. 종이팩 몸체의 알루미늄 첩합(2등급)을 실리카 증착 등 투명필름 차단제(1등급)로 변경 시 재활용 공정 중 선별 작업의 효율화 및 재활용 수율의 증가를 통해 재활용 경제성을 증가 및 재생제품의 품질을 향상시키는 파급효과가 예측되었다. 또한 종이팩의 잡자재를 합성수지 성형 구조물(2등급) 사용을 제외할 시에도 펄프 회수율 상승과 재생 원료의 품질을 향상, 재활용 공정 중 선별 작업의 효율화를 통해 재활용 경제성을 증가시킬 것으로 예측된다.
