공장자동화 도입의 효과에 관한 연구 = A Study on the effect of introduction of factory automation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The factory automation is really the most important problem which the manufacturing industry confronts with. So, the explanation is required about the question the why the investment of factory automation if given and what result connecting with the automation is expected. The existing research about the automation is mainly made in view of engineering and technology, but enough. And, the confusion which is related to the understanding about the correct concept and the strategic effect is caused. It's cause can be find in two points of view.
First, it is the confusion of age about the concept of automation. The automation is recognized to the meaning of mechanization which substitutes the work of hand for a machine under the mass productive system in a small good, but today the concept of the automation is based on the establishment of computerization. That is to say, it means to explain the use of information machinery connection with the computer, and actualization of the economies of scale and strategic importance in the economies of scope is simultaneously increasing.
Second, it is the confusion of step in the automation technique based of the information. That is to say, the early automation means the automation which substitutes some cornputers of production line for Computer Numerical Control machinery. in this case, it contributies to the increase of production efficiency rather than the security of inflexibility, The automation of unit machine for each of production line is eventually composed of the island of automation, and by causing the synergy effect which is concentrated in the computer organically, and the automation which in characterized as the inflexibility like the FMS can be actualized.
