Abstract

Power plant engineering industry obtains EPC plan project and delivers results about electricity, measurement, machinery, and piping and so on. Its works are taken by projects. Although power plant engineering composes 2~5% of whole EPC project cost, it's one of the fundamentals because it affects process after planning step a lot. However, domestic power plant engineering companies' project performance ability is insufficient and there's a need for systematic performance. Thus, this study defined related factors of successful performance and analyzed the priority among them through analytical hierarchy process. All respondents recognized experience, knowledge, and communication as important factors. Administrators considered knowledge, experience, and communication. But hands-on workers considered experience, knowledge, human resources. Those who have experience in oversea project considered process, experience, human resources. However those who don't have experience in oversea project considered knowledge, experience, and communication. Recognition of important factors varies by the position and work experience of members.

발전플랜트 엔지니어링 산업은 원청사로부터 EPC 설계 프로젝트 수주를 통해 전기, 계장, 기계, 배관등에 대한 설계 결과물을 납품하는 구조로써 프로젝트 기반으로 업무가 수행된다. 발전플랜트 엔지니어링은 전체 EPC 프로젝트 비용의 2~5%를 구성하지만 설계 이후 다음 공정에 많은 영향을 미치기 때문에 전체 EPC 프로젝트의 기초가 되는 주요 분야 중 하나이다. 하지만 국내 발전플랜트 엔지니어링 기업의 프로젝트 수행 역량은 미흡한 수준으로 프로젝트에 대한 체계적인 수행이 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 발전플랜트 엔지니어링 프로젝트의 성공적인 수행에 영향을 미치는 요인을 정의하고 계층화 분석법(Analytical Hierarchy Process)을 적용하여 각 요인들의 우선순위를 분석하였다. 분석결과 전체 응답자는 경험, 지식, 소통을 관련 요인을 중요 요인으로 인식하고 있었으며, 응답자의 직책별 분석결과 관리자급에서는 지식, 경험, 소통이 중요 요인으로 도출된 반면, 실무자급에서는 경험, 지식, 인적자원이 중요 요인으로 도출되었다. 응답자의 해외 프로젝트 경험 보유 여부 별 분석결과 해외 프로젝트 경험을 보유한 경우 프로세스, 경험, 인적자원이 중요 요인으로 나타났으며, 해외 프로젝트를 경험하지 않은 경우 지식, 경험, 소통 순으로 나타남에 따라 구성원의 직책과 업무 경험에 따른 중요도 인식이 상이한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
