國防品質保證制度의 發展方向에 관한 硏究

Abstract

Korea, ever since the inauguration of the Agency for Defense Development which nurtured the defense industry in the early 1970's, has had a weak technical base in the early stages while overly concentrating on research & development which resulted in the lack of quality assurance. Sine then from the late 1980's the realization for quality assurance was raised leading to the establishment(July 1981) of the Defense Quality Assurance Agency in charge of quality assurance of munitions, this finally enabled systematic quality assurance activity, and through countless trial and error brought today. However, the current defense quality assurance system is based on the business procedure evaluation system under 1970's total quality control, hence in order to successfully complete quality business for future weapons systems which continue to modernize and advance itself, a new development strategy for the defense quality assurance system should be reviewed. The purpose of this study is to go over the munitions quality assurance and quality system concept and analyze the quality assurance systems and organizations of advanced nations, which allowed the examination of the problems and issues concerning Korea's quality assurance business. Also, by fully comparing and analyzing the presently applied quality system and the internationally accepted ISO 9000 quality system, a new development strategy for the defense quality assurance system is presented which can facilitate the performance of effective quality assurance activity through system improvement.
