Development of SFR R and D Management System Based on the EPM Solution

As the research and development environment has been changed recently, the necessity of the systematic R and D management has been raised. Up to present, R and D management has been performed on individual projects. However, the development of an integrated and systematic R and D management system has been requested for project with a 'The Long-term Gen IV SFR Draft Action Plan', which was established in December 2007. From these aspects, we developed the SFR R and D management system based on the enterprise project management (EPM) solution. The functional goal of the integrated R and D management system was set to check on the progress periodically, and modify a project, if necessary, through an effective management of activities, resources and schedule, etc. In addition, the production of reliable information of progress, performance and utilization of resources using this R and D management system could assist researchers in successfully accomplishing the R and D project
