Future DirectionsIn this brief review of literature relating to Industry 4.0’s implications for South Korea, it is clearthat Industry 4.0 has the potential to transform South Korea’s future workforce. This developingphenomenon offers several opportunities for researchers. Promising areas for explorationinclude:1. What sorts of competency skills would be required for advanced manufacturing workers tosurvive in Industry 4.0?McKinsey Global Institute [9] recommended that workers seek additional education and trainingto adapt to an automated workplace. In the context of South Korea’s two-year technical collegeprograms, researchers may wish to investigate the extent to which current curricula containsadvanced manufacturing topics and reflects

implemented in a holistic fashionthroughout a company under top management leadership.We have also observed that the mindset in industry of keeping product, manufacturing,and quality initiatives separate and mutually exclusive is also reflected in academia,where manufacturing engineering and manufacturing engineering technology programs atuniversities in the U.S. teach product design ideas, manufacturing practices and qualityconcepts as independent notions. This hampers students’ ability to make the strongconnection between these concepts that is necessary if they are to lead companies whichwill use these best practices as strategic tools for their business operations to realizequantum improvements in their processes and productivity.In this paper

With therecent updates to the laboratory and the laboratory curriculum, the students, in theory, shouldperform better in the classroom and in the laboratory. This complete redesign of the classroomitself has also influenced the soundness and professionalism of the student reports. Because theassignments were clearly laid out in logical and coherent order, the students were more able toobjectify their deliverables which made grading their reports easier.

Given that there is little difference between the academic and practitioneropinions the problems are not based in a lack of interest, other factors must be involved. Recommendation: Apply new and innovative efforts to address Automation and Control, CAD/CAM, and Lean Manufacturing in the curriculum.Areas with a high, but decreasing demand include Advanced Processes, Basic Science andMathematics, Materials Science, and Product Design. This reflects the success of various groupsin addressing these needs. Naturally these efforts that have begun in these areas should continue.

This study presents a quality control application to optimize anelectrohydraulic system in the presence of extraneous variability. The performance measures ofthe system are response time of the cylinder to a target setpoint position and positioning errorsthat reflect the deviation of current cylinder position from the target position. The controllableprocess parameters (factors) in this system include fluid pressure, proportional gain of thecontroller configuration, and signal communication (local vs. remote).
