[Amazing Korea] Innovation in Manufacturing 3.0 Strategy Needs Better Focus with Clearer Direction

Facilitated by a broad economic policy vision informed by the Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy, the concept of a smart factory in Korea has a collective meaning embracing automatization, data exchange and enhanced manufacturing technologies. The Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy is a component of the Creative Economy Industry Engine project, a flagship economic policy of the Park Geun-hye administration that aims to tackle many challenges surrounding the Korean manufacturing industry. It generally refers to the computerization of manufacturing. Broad in focus, the strategy in general and smart factories in particular tend to miss out on the technological challenges faced by Korean manufacturing companies. In order to effectively address the technological and economic issues surrounding the manufacturing industry in Korea, the policy needs a more technologically and economically focused approach.

Officially launched in June 2014, the Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy is part of the Park Geun-hye administration’s flagship policy of the Creative Economy that aims to introduce innovation to the manufacturing process, including expanding the use of smart factories and developing core technologies related to the Internet of Things (IoT), 3-D printing and Big Data. Big Data refers to data processing, data collecting and data sharing that can be used for data analysis and prediction.

The policy also aims at dealing with many associated economic and social challenges surrounding the Korean manufacturing industry.

Externally, Korea’s major manufacturing sectors of shipbuilding, automotive, electronics, chemicals and steel have been faced with challenges such as the rise of China as a manufacturing powerhouse and the weakening of the Japanese yen.

Internally, many local Korean manufacturing companies have suffered from low productivity and efficiency.

For such reasons, according to a recent survey released by British financial information provider Markit, the purchase of manufacturing index (PMI) of the Korean manufacturing industry ranks 24 out of the 28 countries surveyed, posting PMI scores of 47.6.

In fact, the growth rate of the manufacturing sector during Q2 2015 was reduced to 0.4 percent, and the size of exports has decreased by 14.8 percent compared to the same period last year, recording US$3.933 million in value. This marks the lowest point after the global financial crisis of August 2008. Products are stacked on the shelves with the in-stock rate standing at 129.2 percent, the highest in the 2000s.

Facing these challenges, the government introduced the Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy that has a broad reach. The strategy largely consists of three sub-strategies that include the creation of new manufacturing featuring industrial convergence, enhancement of the major segments, and advancement of industrial infrastructure for innovation. The policy also aims to raise 1 trillion won (US$972 million) and set up 10,000 smart factories by 2020 to facilitate convergence between software and hardware technologies.

At the same time, the government plans to foster the growth of those segments combining manufacturing with information technology, examples of which include the incorporation of information technology into the energy management and industrial safety sectors. Also, the core material and component development, engineering, design and software segments receive concentrated policy support.

Given the discrepancy in wealth and technological development between large companies and their secondary and tertiary subcontractors, the Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy puts special emphasis on the growth of the latter to spread wealth, going beyond a mere focus on the enhanced automatization of manufacturing.

The Manufacturing Industry Innovation 3.0 strategy is also a response to the global trend of government-level initiatives to support upgrading and transforming traditional manufacturing.

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, governments around the world put a renewed emphasis on manufacturing as a way out of the financial crisis. Most notably, governments in Germany, the U.S., and China launched a policy focusing on transforming and upgrading the manufacturing industry.

As part of the German government’s High-Tech Strategy 2020 Action Plan, the Germen government launched a policy in 2012 named Industry 4.0, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing. The policy specifically focuses on the technological advancement of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), or well-developed systems of collaborating computational software that controls physical entities, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services.

In September 2013, U.S. President Obama introduced the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP 2.0) to secure U.S. leadership in emerging technologies that will create high-quality manufacturing jobs and enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers.

In May this year, China’s State Council unveiled a 10 year plan to upgrade the nation’s manufacturing capacity so that it can catch up with production powerhouses like Germany and the U.S., and fend off competition from other developing countries. The Ministry of Industry and Telecommunication Technology (MIIT) in China took charge of leading the creation of the “Made in China 2025” plan, which put the focus on 10 sectors, including high-end computerized machinery and robotics, aerospace equipment, renewable-energy cars and medicine.

To be clear, smart factories aren’t just the automatization of the manufacturing process. Rather, it refers to a factory where all components are organically connected to each other with an intelligent operating system based on the Internet of Things. The concept of a smart factory basically refers to a future model of factories, which is expected to kick into high gear by 2020, with 30 percent higher productivity than in current factories.

Globally, multinational companies like Siemens and GE enjoy the most technologically sophisticated levels of smart factory systems in the world. Domestically, LS Industrial System (LSIS) and POSCO enjoy the most sophisticated levels of smart factory technologies.

With rapidly advancing ICT, manufacturing environments are changing from old, rigid centralized systems to module-based flexible, decentralized a
nd automatically controlled systems. This change is also looking for ways to build highly efficient and intelligent factories that can connect machines and people through Internet services in convenient and safe workplaces.

As such, developing a highly sophisticated smart factory is possible with CPS. Today, a precursor to a CPS can be found in areas like aerospace, automotive, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, entertainment and consumer appliances.


Although the level of technological development varies across sectors and companies, most SMEs in Korea are in their infant stage and require further technological development to reach higher technological sophistication, especially, the Internet of Things and Big Data. Given the much-needed initial investment for SMEs with low technological competencies and low budgets to be more effective, the current government policy and large corporate efforts to help SMEs need a more focused approach and a specific direction.

[Amazing Korea] S. Korea-China FTA makes Korea a FTA powerhouse

With China added following the ratification of a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), South Korea would be the only economy in the world to own free trade arrangements with the three major economic blocs- European Union, China and the United States. The list of FTAs would top 50 for Asia`s fourth largest economy. 

Korea is also considering joining the multilateral free trade platforms such as the trilateral FTA with China and Japan, China-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) led by the U.S. and Japan. A bilateral FTA with China places Korea at the hub of global and regional free trade zones. 

Through the FTA global network, Korean companies would have competitive edge in international commerce and be are freer than foreign rivals in market access, said Chung In-gyo, an economics professor at Inha University. 

A FTA with China would be most beneficial as the world’s second largest economy is Korea’s largest export destination. The country`s exports to China reached $114.5 billion and imports $75.1 billion in the first 10 months of this year, far outpacing trade with the U.S. and Japan. 

The FTA would eliminate tariffs for the bulk of the shipment to China that takes up a quarter of total Korean exports. Korea would save $8.7 billion in tariffs in the first year of FTA and $45.8 billion for the next 10 years, according to the estimate by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. 

“Korea would be able to better tap the burgeoning consumer market of China through improved price competitiveness and availability of Korean products through the FTA,” the ministry said. 

The flood of cheap Chinese agricultural products could hurt the domestic farming industry, but at the same time serve as the tipping point for the local industry to hone quality and competitiveness and increase revenue base. 

Under the deal, Beijing will eliminate tariffs on 91 percent of agricultural imports and 99 percent of fishery imports from Korea. Local industry could eye bigger revenue through exports of quality products to China. 

The three economic zones are Korea’s biggest market and manufacturing base. The government should come up with various support measures for small- and mid-sized companies so that they too can make most of the FTA benefits, Chung said.

[Amazing Korea] S.Korea-EU FTA comes into full force

South Korea’s free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union (EU) has come into full force starting Sunday after more than four years the trade pact provisionally took effect. 

According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on Friday, the South Korea-EU FTA would go into full effect from Sunday, implementing also non-tariff clauses related to the protection of intellectual property rights and boosting cultural cooperation. 

The full implementation of the trade agreement comes four years and five months after the agreement went into effect on July 1, 2011. Tariffs were immediately removed, but some aspects were left unimplemented. 

Meanwhile, the full implementation of the trade agreement with the EU is expected to boost cultural exchange between artists, cultural professionals and performers, as well as development in audio-video content and broadcasting ties. It will also improve partnerships in performance arts, publishing and preserving cultural assets. 

With regard to intellectual property rights protection, measures call for criminal punishment such as property seizing and imprisonment for those that intentionally forge trademarks, violate copyrights and neighboring copyrights, as well as counterfeit designs. Further details on penalty measures have not been included in the agreement as criminal penalty regulation varies by each EU country, the trade ministry said.
