Abstract

This study is empirically intended to look into the effects of smart factory technologies on quality and innovation performance in small and medium-sized Enterprises(SMEs). The research results are as follows. Device and application technologies for smart factory had a positive effect on the information quality and system quality, while platform technologies had an insignificant effect on the information quality and system quality, rejecting the effect of platform technologies for smart factory on information quality and system quality. Device technologies for smart factory had also a significant effect on innovative performance, while platform and application technologies had an insignificant effect on innovative performance, rejecting the effect of platform and application technologies for smart factory on innovative performance. The system quality had a significant effect on innovative performance, while the information quality had an insignificant effect on innovative performance. The quality played a partial mediating role in the effect of device technologies for smart factory on innovative performance. These results indicate that small and medium-sized venture firms should implement a high standard of information quality management(IQM) through interconnection as the kernel of a smart factory in the 4th revolutionary era, and that they can improve their corporate performance through the interlocking between components from manufacturing design to execution and analysis and the integrated management of systematic information collected from devices if necessary.

본 연구는 중소벤처기업의 스마트팩토리 기술적용이 품질과 혁신성과에 미치는 영향력을 밝히는데 목적을 갖고 실증분석 하였다. 연구 결과 중소벤처기업에서의 스마트팩토리 기술적용이 품질과 혁신성과에 미치는 영향에서 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 가설은 부분 채택되었다. 스마트팩토리 기술로서의 디바이스와 어플리케이션 기술이 정보품질과 시스템품질에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 플랫폼 기술은 정보품질과 시스템품질에 유의하지 않아 기각되었다. 또한, 스마트팩토리 기술이 혁신성과에 미치는 영향에서도 디바이스 기술은 유의한 영향을 미치는 반면, 플랫폼과 애플리케이션은 유의하지 않아 기각되었다. 시스템품질은 혁신성과에 유의하지만 정보품질은 혁신성과에 유의하지 않은 영향을 미쳤다. 스마트팩토리의 디바이스 기술이 혁신성과에 미치는 영향에서 품질은 부분 매개효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 중소벤처기업의 4차 혁명시대 스마트팩토리의 핵심으로서의 상호 연결을 통해 수준 높은 정보 품질관리를 구현해야 한다. 또한, 제조설계에서부터 실행, 분석에 이르기까지 상호 컴포넌트 연동과 중소벤처기업의 필요에 따라 디바이스로부터 수집된 체계적인 정보를 통합 관리함으로서 기업의 성과를 높일 수 있음을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.
