In this study, targeting KOSPI and KOSDAQ listed companies, the relationship between the abnormal investment of companies and analyst earnings forecasts was empirically analyzed. The analysis period of this study spanned from 2003 to 2015 (with that of dependent variables spanning from 2004 to 2016) based on the variables of interest, and among the companies whose earnings per share forecasts were announced by financial analysts, the final sample of 4,917 companies/year that meets the research condition was selected as the target analysis. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, it turned out that the more total abnormal investment, abnormal R&D and abnormal CAPEX investment, the more accurate were analyst earnings forecasts. Second, the more total abnormal investment, abnormal R&D, abnormal CAPEX investment, the more pessimistic analyst earnings forecasts tended to be. Further analysis has shown that these results came more from over investment groups than under investment groups. The results of this study are expected to make additional contributions to the existing studies in that the abnormal investment is considered as a determinant of analyst earnings forecasts.

A Science DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an optimized network technology tailored to research data nature. The Science DMZ guarantees end-to-end network performance by forming a closed research network without redundant networking and security devices for the authorized researchers. Data Transfer Node (DTN) is an essential component for the high performance and security of the Science DMZ, since only transfer functions of research data are allowed to the DTN without any security- and performance-threatening functions such as commercial internet service. Current Science DMZ requires per-user DTN server installation which turns out a scalability limitation of the networks in terms of management overhead, entry barrier of the user, and networks-wise CAPEX. In order to relax the aforementioned scalability issues, this paper suggests a centralized DTN design where end users in a group can share the centralized DTN. We evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested sharable DTN design by comparing CAPEX against to that of current design with respect to the diverse network load and the state-of-the-art computing machine.

This paper proposes a strategic model of linkage between productivity metrics and financial accounting metrics to properly evaluate the financial effect of TPM activities and the business performance. This linkage strategy provides a connection tool for clear communication between factory-level and headquarters that the metrics proposed by this paper ultimately improves a quality of support from the management by receiving the factors required for productivity activities in the practical field. This factor includes such as equipment, raw materials and labors. Here, we propose that chain reaction models using break down structure of productivity metrics and financial metrics enhance the knowledge sharing of KPI (Key Performance Indicator) which generally tend to create oversimplified communication between management in headquarters and employees in the practical fields. The productivity metrics include OEE(Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), OLE (Overall Labor Effectiveness) of PAC(Performance and Analysis and Control) activities, and OYE (Overall Yield Effectiveness) of TMM(Total Material Management) activities. The financial accounting metrics include ROE(Return on Equity), ROA(Return on Asset), and AVR(Added-Value Rate). The suggested chain reaction model selects the financial metrics as initial stage and branch down until final stage of productivity metrics. When demand exceeds supply, an ideal speed rate, the lean OEE strategy can be initially applied to reduce the gap between the demand and supply, then apply variable costing to estimate correct amount of operating profit. In addition, the paper presents a new type of model for linkage between financial accounting metrics including CAPEX(Capital Expenditure), OPEX(Operating Expenditure), EVA(Economic Added Value), DCL(Degree of Combined Leverage), and TPM productivity activities including AM(Autonomous Maintenance), PM(Preventive Maintenance), MP(Maintenance Prevention) and QM(Quality Maintenance). In order to support the evidence of proposed linkage strategy, a case analysis on 52 projects from national TPM contest from 2011 to 2012 is analyzed. The case presents the classification of CAPEX and OPEX activities from TPM, and proposes the correct implementation of financial effect for TPM projects.

전 세계적으로 이용 가능한 수자원이 한정되어 있는데 반해 기후변화, 인구증가에 따른 물 부족 사태는 심각해져 가고 있다. 이에 따른 대체수자원의 개발이 지속적으로 요구되고 있으며, 하수재 이용과 더불어 가장 큰 성장세를 보이고 있는 해수담수화는 이미 국내외에서 주요 용수 공급원으로 이용되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 국내에선 해수담수화 플랜트 기술 연구에 비해 해외 시장에 대한 연구는 미흡하기 때문에, 국내 기업의 해외시장 진출 지원이 취약한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Frost & Sullivan의 2004년 자료를 기초로 하여 남부유럽, 북아프리카, 중동, 페르시아만 연안 6개국, 사우디아라비아 지역 37개 국가를 대상으로 해수담수화 수익성 평가를 하였다. 조사 기간은 2000년부터 2010년까지며, 각 지역별 연 수익금 및 증가율을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 5개 지역 모두 2010년까지 모두 증가 추세를 보였으며, 각 지역마다 증가율은 다르게 나타났다. 또한 분석 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위해 Frost & Sullivan의 수익성 평가 자료와 Global Water Intelligence(GWI)에서 2010년도에 발간한 Desalination Market(2010)의 해수담수화 자본지출 (CAPEX)과 비교 분석하였다. 비교 분석한 지역은 5개 지역과 각 지역에서 한 개의 국가를 선정하여 총 5개 국가를 대상으로 하였으며, 기간은 2007년부터 2010년까지 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 2007년부터 2010년까지 북아프리카, 사우디아라비아를 제외한 해수담수화 수익금이 증가할 것으로 예측한 세 개 지역의 해수담수화 자본지출(CAPEX)이 모두 증가된 것으로 나타났으며, 비교기간 동안 해수담수화 수익금이 하강할 것으로 나타난 북아프리카의 알제리는 해수담수화 자본지출(CAPEX)이 실제로 하강했던 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 사우디아라비아의 경우 해수담수화 수익금은 상승할 것으로 나타났으나, 자본지출금액은 하강한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시장 증대 요인 및 억제 요인에 대한 조사 결과 해수담수화 시장 증대 요인은 5개 지역 모두 물 부족에 따른 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 사우디아라비아의 경우 지하수자원 부족에 대한 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기후변화에 따른 강우사상 변화, 인구 증가에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 또한 시장 억제 요인으로는 남부유럽을 제외한 4개 지역이 정치적 분란인 것으로 나타났다.

Governmental accounting system has changed from budgetary accounting on the basis of cash and bookkeeping by single entry to financial accounting on the basis of accrual and bookkeeping by double entry. In the context of this transition, infrastructure becomes considered an asset in accounting, and resulting accounting methods also take different approaches from conventional budgetary accounting. Financial accounting system defines expenditures into two categories, i.e. capital expenditure(CAPEX) and operational expenditure(OPEX), and stipulates that the expenditure shall be divided into those two categories before accounting. The construction and expansion of infrastructure must be considered a CAPEX because it means a sort of asset acquisition, but with regard to applications in practical accounting, it is actually challenging to judge whether any expenditure associated with maintenance works (including repair and service) during use of infrastructure acquired shall be considered CAPEX or OPEX. This paper suggested an asset management based accounting method for sewer maintenance expenditure. And it applied the method to actual accounting cases and analyzed them in comparison with conventional financial information. As a case study result, Sewer asset value of S city increased approximately 700 hundred won because sewer maintenance expenditure are classified between OPEX and CAPEX according to the proposed accounting method. It is expected that the proposed accounting method will contribute significantly to providing any proper sewer asset value information.

This research introduces the Financial Effect Measurement (FEM) models which measures both the improvement and the innovation performance of Quality Control Circle (QCC) and activities of Six Sigma. Concepts and principle of Comprehensive Income Statement (CIS), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Time-Driven Activity Based-Costing (TDABC) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) are applied in order to develop the 4 FEM models presented in this paper. First of all, FEM using CIS depicts the improvement effects of production capacity and yield using relationships between demand and supply, and line balancing efficiency between bottleneck process and non-bottleneck processes. Secondly, cause-and-effect relation of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is used to present Critical Success Factor (CSF) effects for QC Story 15 steps of QCC and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) of Six Sigma. The next is FEM model for service management innovation activities that uses TDABC to calculate the time-driven effect for improving the indirect activities according to the cost object. Lastly, FEM model for TPM activities presents the interpretation of improvement effect model of TPM Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) maintenance using profit, cash and Economic Added Value (EVA) as metrics of enterprise values. To better understand and further investigate FEMs, recent cases on National Quality Circle Contest are used to evaluate new financial effect measurement developed in this paper.

Through the NFV (Network Function Virtualization), companies such as network service providers and carriers have sought to dramatically reduce CAPEX / OPEX by improving the speed of new service provisioning and flexibility of network construction through the S/W-based devices provided by NFV. One of the most important considerations for establishing an NFV network to provide dynamic services is to determine how to dynamically allocate resources (VNFs), the basic building blocks of network services, in the right place. In this paper, we analyzed the latest research trends on VNF node, link allocation, and scheduling in nodes that are required to provide arbitrary NS in NFV framework. In this paper, we also propose VNF scheduling problems that should be studied further in RA (Resource Allocation).

In this study, Techno-economic evaluation model for carbon capture & sequestration (CCS) technologies are reviewed. Based on a key parameters of Korea's electricity market, performance data of 10 MW-scale post-combustion $CO_2$ capture pilot plant in Boryong station, the cost of $CO_2$ avoided was evaluated followed by international guideline suggested by IEA CCS costing methods task force. The result showed that Korea's Electricity cost including CAPEX & OPEX of reference power plant is relatively low compared to OECD nations which lead to a lower CCS cost ($33USD\;t/CO_2$). And future work using newly evaluated CAPEX & OPEX data of power plant with/without CCS is recommended.

This paper presents a LNG Liquefaction cycle configuration using two stages of methane expansion (i.e. spliting into two stages as warm & cold to generate an additional inflection point within a cold composite curve) and a single stage of nitrogen expansion to improve the efficiency of the conventional Methane & Nitrogen Expansion Cycle. In comparison with Double Nitrogen Expansion Cycel and Methane & Nitrogen Expansion Cycle, the cycle efficiency has increased approximately from 13.92 and 13.13 to 12.08 kW/ton/day (8~15% efficiency increase). A Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis based on Net Present Value (NPV) also show an improvement in therms of project NPV, against a minor increment of a CAPEX.
