본 연구는 국내 방산업체 중 중점관리대상업체를 중심으로 재무제표 및 원가구조 분석을 수행하였다. 손익현황, 성장성, 수익성, 안정성, 활동성, 생산성 경영지표를 분석한결과, 손익현황은 방산부문의 매출액은 상승하였으나, 영업이익은 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 성장성의 경우 매출액 증가율은 제조업 평균을 크게 상회하는 것으로 나타났고, 수익성, 안정성 지표는 전체적으로 제조업 평균에 비해 낮았다. 활동성 지표는 매출채권 회전율을 제외하고 제조업 평균을 하회하였으며, 생산성 지표도 제조업 평균 부가가치에 비해 낮았다. 원가 비목별 비중을 분석한 결과, 방산부문 매출액이 클수록 반제품 및 부분품을 납품받아 조립하는 체계업체 특성이 있어 재료비 비중이 높게 나타났다. 그리고 방산부문 매출액이작은 업체는 자작 비중이 높아 노무비 및 경비 비중이 높게 나타났다. 이를 통해서 체계업체 원가검증시에 협력업체로부터 납품받은 재료비의 단가 적정성 여부를 중점 검토하여야 할 것으로 판단되며, 자작 비중이 높게 나타난 협력업체의 경우는 노무비 및 경비 비목의오류 가능성과 외부 또는 자작 여부에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 부채비율이 크게 변동되는 경우에는 토지, 건물 등의 자산을 매입하기 위한 사채발행 또는 토지, 건물 등의 자산매각을 통한 부채상환이 수반되는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 해당 자산의 민수 및 방산부문 분류기준과 관련비용의 원가성 판단에 유의해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 방위산업이 우리나라의 신성장동력으로서 역할을 수행하기 위해서는 방산업체 경영여건을 개선하는 것이 급선무이다. 이를 위한 방안으로 방산수출 활성화와 방산 중소기업 육성을 들 수 있는데, 이를 통해 고용 창출과 경제 활성화에 기여할 수 있도록 다양한 지원정책을 모색해야 한다. 방산업체는 스스로 기업경영에 불합리한 요소를 제거하는 등 국제경쟁력을 갖추도록 경영성과 개선을 위한 노력을 전개하고, 정부는 방위사업 투명성과 신뢰도 증진을 위해 예측가능하고 신뢰할 수 있는 정책과 환경 마련에 심혈을 기울여야 한다. In this research, the financial statement and cost structure analysis focused on the priority control companies among the defense companies was performed. The major analysis objects are profit and loss status, growth, profitability, stability, activity, and productivity indicator. And this study including the time series analysis and commercial and defense sector labor force structure. And we analyze material cost, labor cost, overhead, and general and administrative expense and the cost structure characteristic was drawn. According to the management index analysis results, the amount of sales increased in the defense sector. But operating income decreased. As to the growth indicator, the sales growth rate was above the manufacturing industry average. The profitability and stability indicators was generally below the manufacturing industry average. the activity indicators fell short of the manufacturing industry average except the receivables turnover. And productivity indicators were lower than the value-added of the manufacturing industry. According to the cost item weight analysis, A company which defense sector sales is large has the system company characteristic that assembles the semi-manufactured goods and components, the material cost ratio is high. And a company which defense sector sales is small has one’s own making characteristic, the labor cost and overhead ratio is high. These results suggest that the system company cost verification focused on the material price appropriateness which supplied by the subcontractor. And the subcontractor cost verification which the one’s own making ratio is high focused on the point that the review for the error possibility of the labor cost and overhead classification and outside or the one’s own working. And in case the debt rate had fluctuated considerably, there was a lot of the case where the debt redemption through the property sale or the corporate bond issue for purchasing the assets. Therefore, it has to be careful of acceptability as cost item and defense sector classification standards. the improvement of the defense industry management condition is needed that the defense industry can perform as the new growth power. For developing defense industry performance, the brought up of small and medium defense companies and expansion of military product export is needed. In order to the creation of employment and economic revitalization, the various supporting policies are needed. As to the field of defense technology, the fusion of the numerous advanced technology is necessary for the weapons system research and development process. The tendency that the technique itself is complicated is enlarged. Therefore, between conglomerate and small and medium companies hold technology need win-win cooperation relationship in research and development process. Defense industry win-win committee and presidential secretary for defense industry is needed in order to promote the mutual interests among the cooperators at the field including the technology, man power, finance, purchase, sale. In the defense industry, since structurally wealth polarization and iniquity occurrence possibility exists between the big and small and medium companies, in order to prevent the bankruptcy or unused capacity of the defense industries holding the specific technology, cooperative and activation plan have to be needed between the large enterprise and small and medium companies. because oligopolistic domestic market demand is faced with the limit, the stable market demand is needed. Therefore, the export upbringing policy for the cooperation between defense large enterprise and small and medium companies and market expansion is needed in order to overcome the export limit caused by the organization and absence of strategy in spite of the high technology and quality. Particularly, in order to possess the global competitiveness with the large enterprise and in order to install the strong backbone role and specialized technology with small and medium companies, The strategic and firm relation is required between the defense large enterprise and small and medium companies. Therefore, defense companies take an action, e.g. cost reduction effort, non-value added activity elimination in order to enhance global competitiveness, and government has to develop the predictable and trustworthy environment for the defense acquisition transparency and reliability. The contribution of this research as follows. First, our research examines operation condition and cost structure of the defense companies by the management index analysis. Second, this research sought for the political implication and the development plan of the domestic defense industry by reevaluating the defense industry management condition.

방위산업의 시장구조 결정요인이 기술혁신과 시장지배에 미치는 영향

This study examines the relationship of the industry-specific factors that effect innovation of manufacturing technology and the market share within the defense industry. Since the establishment of the basic defense industry framework in 1973, there were numerous interactions of the industry-specific factors of the defense industry structure with the technological innovation and market organization of the defense industry. During last three decades, the domestic defense industry has achieved the considerable level but the framework of the basic system has not developed much in areas of the military science and the defense manufacturing technology. Industry-specific factors were formed in the process and appeared in a variety of behavioral characteristics as subsystems. Currently, there IS a growing trend where the management of defense industry is gradually deteriorating due to limitation of the domestic industry-specific factor (e.g. defense technologies, amount of demand, etc.). If there is a prominent imbalance of the industry-specific factors. it can trigger the potential problem of conflict, lack of cooperation and control, slowing the growth of the manufacturing technology thereby diminishing the market and deteriorating the defense supply/demand relationship. In a research conducted by Joe S. Bain, Bain analyzed the relationship of the traditional industrial organization where industry-specific factor(S) not only impacts the conductor(C). And, conductor(C) influences the shaping of the performance(P) of relationship of the traditional industrial organization. Consequently, the researcher has identified the demand monopoly, barriers to entry, and market competition with comparison of defense industry issues. These defense issues were three industry-specific factors identified, which are 1) The demand monopoly and The entry barriers to new market competition, 2) the industrial technical factor to a production technical competitiveness and a market sharing competitiveness, 3) the probability factor to revolution for military affairs(RMA) and a R&D production. According to baseline with these factors, the following research model is established from the special companies group(Group A), the systematization companies group(Group B), and the general companies group(Group 0. The hypothesis is that if there are more industry-specific factors, then there will be more relationships of defense industry relation statutes. This research is an empirical study on the relationship that the industry specific factors effects the innovation of manufacturing technology and the shaping of the market in the defense industry. Moreover, the existing models to evaluate the industry specific factors of the defense industry IS much to be desired with the controlled statistical analysis of the result. It is vital to study on current situation with suggesting alternative strategy to the efficient strategy. The descriptive analysis approach analysis is conducted with SPSSWIN to conduct reliability test, factor analysis, correlation analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. However, there were some limitations of the survey such as the rigidity of concept about the technical factors and various market management factors. The wishes is that the decision-maker could be utilized these defence industrial factors to formulate efficient defence policy and strategy in the future.

방위산업의 새로운 패러다임

채우석 원광대학교 2008 圓光軍事論壇 Vol.- No.4

In 1974, the first force improvement program was initiated. To support this program, the ROK Government nurtured and promoted defense industry by establishing laws, regulations and policies. In this way, the ROK government has closely and thoroughly controlled defense industries. The ROK defense industry has grown both in its volume and quality. The government-controlled paradigm worked quite successfully fostering defense industry. Defense industry, however, became vulnerable lacking self-reliance because of depending too much on the government control. Considering rapidly changing environment of world defense industry, however, it's about time the ROK defense industry needs a new paradigm to reduce government dependency while enhance global competitiveness. In this paper, a new paradigm for ROK defense industry is proposed. The new paradigm pursues open and self-reliable defense industry and requires innovation in defense industry systems. To enhance self-reliable and self-regulated defense industry, government control should be minimized. For example, current government-controlled cost management system needs to be switched to industry-controlled cost accounting system. That will lead cost reduction dramatically and thus enhance global competitiveness.

The goal of the study lies in analysing of the difference in relation of variables of financial characteristics and firm value after examining the difference between financial characteristics and firm value by comparing a defence industry to a non-defence industry. In order to analyse this, an empirical analysis of 411 non-defence industry specimen and 137 specimen registered in Korea Defence Industry Association as members of defence industry was carried out. The results are as follows. First, according to the t-test result, the defence industry group showed relatively lower average of current ratio, an index of stability than that of the other industry group and non-defense industry showed 3 times higher than the defense industry in the growth index, increasing rate of total assets. Also, non-defense industry indicated higher total assets turnover of an index of activity than that of the defense one, and in an index of productivity, average of the variables of both increasing rate of sales and capital intensity per employee are low in the defense industry group comparing to the non-defense industry. The difference between two groups showed a statistically meaningful gap. Second, according to the multi-variate regression analysis, only the defense industry group showed statistically meaningful positive relevance in variables of return on equity, total assets turnover ratio, and capital intensity differentiating it from the non-defense industry group. From results above, we certify a defense industry and a non-defense industry hold different financial characteristics, and financial variables that affect the firm value. From now on, the government`s support and concern are needed to the regulated industry, defense industry. We hope the study may help understand a defense industry and help the government when drawing up the policy.

한국의 방위산업 발전전략에 대한 연구

김진기 한국동북아학회 2011 한국동북아논총 Vol.16 No.1

The purpose of this paper is to compare Korea's defense industry development strategy during the presidency of Park Chung-hee (1963-1979) to the post-Park presidential era (1980-2005). The defense industry development strategy of the two periods is examined in terms of the main actors and features of defense industry development policy. The primary findings of this study are as follows: first, the main actors of the South Korean defense industry during the Park Chung-hee era were the President and his Blue House staff, whereas the main actors in the Post-Park era were such ministries as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Industry. Second, the emphasis of defense industry policy was on self-reliance and focused on the strengthening of the defense technology and industrial base (DTIB) during Park's presidency. In the Post-Park era, the emphasis in the defense industry was on defense in itself. Third, the main policy for strengthen the defense industry was the 'Designated System of the Defense Company' in the Park era and the 'Specialization and Systematization Legislations' in the Post-Park period. In spite of the same purpose of the policies, which aimed to prevent dual investment, the two policy have produced different results because of the differences in the perceptions of the defense industry. The Korean defense industry during the Park Chung-hee period was successful, whereas the Korean defense industry during the post-Park period was stagnant. 이 글의 목적은 한국의 방위산업 발전전략을 박정희 시기(1963-1979)와 이후 정부 시기로 나누어 비교고찰해 보고자 하는 데에 있다. 두 시기에 나타난 방위산업 발전전략은 주요 행위자, 방위산업 발전정책이란 측면에서 살펴본 결과 다음과 같은 특징들을 발견할 수 있었다. 첫째, 박정희 시기 한국 방위산업 발전전략의 주요 정책입안자와 추진주체는 청와대와 그 참모들이었던 반면, 이후 시기 한국 방위산업 발전전략의 주요 행위자는 국방부, 상공부와 같은 관련 부서가 중심이 되어 이루어졌다. 둘째, 방위산업을 바라보는 인식에 있어서 박정희 시기의 방위산업정책은 자주국방을 뒷받침할 수 있는 ‘방위기술과 산업토대’구축에 강조점이 두어졌으나, 이후 정권에서의 방위산업정책은 방위력의 증강이라는 측면에 강조점이 두어짐으로써 산업과의 연관성을 상실하는 결과를 나았다. 셋째, 방위산업을 강화하기 위한 주된 정책으로서는 박정희 시기의 ‘방위산업지정제도’와 이후 정부의 ‘전문화ㆍ계열화제도’를 들 수 있으며, 이들 정책들은 공통적으로 중복투자방지와 자원의 효율적 이용을 위한 것이었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 방위산업에 대한 인식차이로 인하여 박정희 시기의 방위산업이 타산업에의 파급효과를 나아 중화학공업의 토대를 구축하는데 일조함으로써 성공적이었던데 비하여, 이후 정부들의 정책은 방위산업의 산업적 측면을 경시함으로써 방위산업이 침체되는 결과를 나았다.

방위산업체 종사자 안전관리실태에 관한 실증연구

김병현,이준원,윤현웅 사단법인 한국안전문화학회 2024 안전문화연구 Vol.0 No.31

방위산업체 종사자는 군용 장비 운용시험 및 유지보수 작업을 위해 군이 관리하는 시험장 또는 정비고에 출입하는데, 이러한 과정에서 작업장 내외의 안전사고는 지속해서 발생해 왔다. 이에 2019년부터 방위산업체 종사자의 안전관리 강화에 관련한 법 제도를 보완하고 있으나, 안전사고는 여전히 반복되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 군사시설에 대한 안전관리는 군 안전관리 훈령에 따라 시행되므로, 방위산업체 종사자의 사고 예방 및 안전 확보를 위해서는 해당 훈령에 대한 철저한 검토가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국방안전훈령과 관련 법령을 분석함으로써 방위산업체 종사자의 안전사고 예방 및 중대재해처벌법 도급인의 안전보건 확보 의무 이행을 위한 법적 근거를 고찰하였으며, 방위산업체 종사자의 안전관리 실태 진단을 위해 종사자를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 시행하였다. 분석 결과, 현재 군 안전관리 훈령의 적용 범위는 방위산업체 종사자를 제외한 국방부와 기관 부대에 한정된 것으로 확인되었으며, 무기체계 연구개발 기관에서 시행하는 시험평가는 방위산업체 종사자에 대한 실질적 안전관리가 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해, 본 연구에서는 방위산업체 종사자 안전관리 강화를 위해 다음과 같은 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 국방안전훈령의 적용 범위에 방위산업체 종사자를 포함해야 한다. 둘째, 사고 피해자에 대한 보상 체계를 현실화해야 한다. 셋째, 방위산업체 현장의 위험요인을 고려하여 종사자의 안전교육을 내실화해야 한다. 아울러 이와 같은 연구 성과는 방위산업 현장의 사고를 사전 예방하고, 피해자에 대한 피해 보상을 현실화함으로써 K-방산의 기술력을 강화하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다. Employees in the defense industry are required to enter test sites and maintenance hangars under military control for the operation tests and maintenance of military equipment. Despite the strengthening of safety standards for defense industry employees since 2019, they remain in a blind spot for safety accidents. However, the safety management of military facilities is conducted in accordance with the National Defense Safety Management Directive, necessitating a reassessment for the safety of defense industry employees. In this study, an analysis was conducted on the National Defense Safety Management Directive to examine the legal basis for preventing safety accidents among defense industry employees and for ensuring the obligation of contractors to secure safety and health under the Serious Accident Punishment Act. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted to investigate and analyze the actual safety management status of defense industry employees. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the scope of the current military safety management instruction was limited to the Ministry of National Defense and institutional units, excluding defense industry workers, and it was confirmed that safety management of defense industry workers was not properly performed during test evaluation conducted within weapon system research institutions. In this study, the following implications and measures to strengthen safety standards were suggested. Firstly, the application scope of the Serious Accident Punishment Act should encompass employees in the defense industry. Secondly, a compensation system for accident victims needs to be implemented. Thirdly, substantive safety training for employees should be conducted, taking into account the risk factors at defense industry sites. These research findings are expected to contribute to enhancing the technological capabilities of the South Korean defense industry by preventing accidents at defense sites and actualizing compensation for victims.

한국 방위산업의 원가기준이 방산업체의 원가구조에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

용홍중 ( Hong Jung Yong ),안태식 ( Tae Sik Ahn ),정형록 ( Hyung Rok Jung ),최연식 ( Youn Sik Choi ) 한국중소기업학회 2015 기업가정신과 벤처연구 Vol.18 No.2

본 연구는 방산물자계약에 의해 방산물자를 생산하는 과정에서 발생한 원가를 보상받기 때문에 방산업체 경영자는 원가구조의 적절한 변경을 통해 이익을 조정할 동기를 갖게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이익조정 수단으로서 제조원가 중 노무원가에 집중하여 방산업체의 원가구조를 한국의 방위산업에 속한 기업들의 원가구조를 실증분석하였다. 원가구조를 분석한 결과, 총제조원가에서 차지하는 직접재료원가 비중과 제조간접원가 비중은 방산부문이 민수부문 보다 작은 반면, 직접노무원가 비중은 방산부문이 민수부문 보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 방산부문에서 생산공정을 자동화할 유인이 낮고 노무원가가 원가구조의 핵심요인임을 시사한다. 이에 따라 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 방산부문의 노무원가 비중(직접노무원가 비중 및 간접노무원가 비중)은 통계적으로 유의하게 민수부문 보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 분석모형 전반에 걸쳐 직접노무원가 비중의 회귀계수가 간접노무원가 비중의 회귀계수에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 직접노무원가가 방산업체의 원가구조를 구성하는 핵심적인 요인임을 시사한다. 본 연구는 선행연구에서 접근하지 못한 방산업체의 세부 원가자료를 이용하였고, 이를 통해 민수부문과 방산부문의 원가구조를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이를 통해 방산업체의 경영자가 정부로부터 더 많은 원가보상을 받기 위해 노무원가를 이용하여 원가구조를 변경시킨다는 직접적인 증거를 제시한 공헌점을 갖는다. This paper investigates the cost structure in the Korean defense industry. Managers in the defense industry tend to have incentive to manage earnings because the costs incurred in the production process of defense articles are reimbursed. With the emphasis on labor costs (especially direct labor costs) as a means of earnings management, this research focuses on labor costs among the cost components of manufacturing costs and examines the cost structure of the defense industry. After examining the institutional characteristics of the Korean defense industry, such as defense article contracts that are favorable to the reimbursement of costs and computation methods that emphasize labor costs (Ratios, profit rate), this paper directly compares the labor costs of between the defense sector and the commercial sector of defense industry firms. We find that in the defense industry of Korea, the ratio of direct material costs and indirect production costs to the total manufacturing costs of the defense sector is lower than those of the entire defense industry firms as well as the commercial sector, whereas the ratio of direct labor costs of the defense sector is higher than those of the entire defense industry firms as well as the commercial sector. These findings indicate that the incentive to automate production is low in the defense sector and that labor costs are the primary component of the cost structure. From the regression analysis using labor costs, direct labor costs, and indirect labor costs in order to compare the cost structures between the defense sector and the commercial sector, we document that the labor costs ratios (direct labor costs ratio, indirect labor costs ratio) of the defense sector are statistically significantly higher than those of the commercial sector. We also found that the coefficients of direct labor costs ratio are larger than those of the indirect labor costs ratio. These findings imply that the direct labor costs ratio is a core component in the composition of the cost structure of defense industry firms. This paper enlarges related literature by comparing costs structures between defense sector and commercial sector of defense industry using detailed costs data limited in prior studies. It also contributes to academics as well as practices by providing direct evidence that managers of defense industry have strong incentive to adjust costs structure using labor costs in order to get more reimbursed from the government.

신 협력 강화에 따른 동유럽 방위산업의 국제유통방향

서대성,구병모 한국유통과학회 2017 유통과학연구 Vol.15 No.1

Purpose - After the transition, the development of defense industry in Eastern Europe has been regressed. Recently, they have internationally recognized that new products have been exported and contributed to the Innovation-Based Manufacturing of national economy such as unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, water purification technology, and mobile chemical laboratory, etc. The military forces in Eastern Europe are re-armed by the localization of self-produced munitions in their own defense industry, and then emphasize fostering their own defense industry. Thus, if they make a collaboration with other nations as a industrial cluster, it will gain a competitive edge on the defense industry. Research design, data, and methodology - The study was designed with the data of each national defense department. The research of the subject was reviewed before and after the transition. Thousands of workers have worked in defense industries before the transition, however, the defense industry and experts left after the transition. The Hungarian defense spending on GDP also dropped sharply from 1.72% in 2000 to 0.85% in 2013. But, due to the crisis in Ukraine and the crisis of Syrian refugees, the Viségrad Group (V4) member countries have also increased their interest in a defense and industries as well as the confidence in the EU and NATO. Results – On the whole, the joint of military training and purchase of defense materials were found in order to form the EU cooperative combat troops in CEE. There are the implementation of a joint manual plan for strengthening V4 security policy and the joint military exercises for V4 every year, and the others are electronic warfare and innovation of V4 national forces. Through such a performance analysis methodology, we found that the defense industry is developed through the national cluster cooperation among CEEs and spreading global distribution. Conclusions - Eastern Europe and Balkan countries have been looking forward to cooperating with the non-EU countries such as Korea and other defense industries. There are a lot of potential development into a new civilian cooperation defense industry for global-distribution. Thus, Korea should develop electronic commercial applications, not just as a weapon exporting region.

방위산업의 글로벌 무역 네트워크 분석에 관한 연구

김성국(Sung Kuk Kim),이승택(Seoung Taek Lee) 한국무역연구원 2015 무역연구 Vol.11 No.2

Realizing that defense industry is a new growth engine, Korean government has clarified continuous promotion of developing the defense industry. As a result, it is expected that the defense industry will be dynamic and will be an export industry based on domestic demands. However, the reality is that though there are many research studies focused on the actual condition of defense industry, there are hardly any studies which has investigated this industry as trade products. Hence, through this research, we want to find the core countries in the global defense industry and to suggest directions for the sustainable development of the Korean defense industry. Thus, in this paper we analyzed the trade networks in the global defense industry by using the trade data of 36 OECD countries and applying social network analysis. As a consequence of this research, it is found that even though the amount of export in the Korean defense industry is large, such defense products have been exported only to a few countries. Therefore, the Korean defense industry needs to guarantee export centrality through diversification of the exporting country. Furthermore, in terms of import, the Korean defense industry has to increase the influence in the global defense market through the government's promotion of the change of weapon system.
