Enforced environmental regulations call for extending the domain of manufacturers’ responsibility to the entire product life cycle. To comply with the environmental regulations, manufacturers have constructed reverse logistics networks to re-collect their leftover waste for recycling consumed resources. However, the operational activities associated with storage, loading and transportation processes within the networks inevitably impose environmental burdens. Particularly, the transportation process largely influences environmental performance due to perpetual uses of transportation vehicles. Therefore, there is a need to develop an environmentally- conscious transportation model that can efficiently manage the uses of transportation vehicles. Additionally, it is vital to analyze its significances of environmental performance to compare quantitatively it with existing models. This paper proposes a transportation model for improving environmental performance in a reverse logistics network. This paper also presents a case study to perform its comparative analysis using Life Cycle Assessment that evaluates potential environmental impacts of a product system.
Quality of life due to climate change are different and are seeking a way, that affects most of the water seems to be the field. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas causing climate change in the proportion known to be the most. According to the OECD's 2050 Environmental Outlook in Korea is the OECD country with the most severe water stress was released. Water shortages in 2020, Korea has been known to enter the country. The OECD Green Growth policy of the keyword in the water to be present Water Footprint is produced from raw materials procurement, disposal and recycling of the product's life cycle to calculate the water usage of water resources is a technique to quantify the load. Water footprint calculations are used in the per-unit water consumption. In this study, to measure the carbon dioxide emissions and water usage more accurately measure who try and look for ways to manage
More and more medium and small enterprises do business across the world according to generalization of online shopping mall such as eBay and Amazon. But high export and import transportation cost make weak the price competitive power of medium and small enterprises products. Then this paper deals with the development of new business model which can reduce the transportation cost for global logistics through efficiently overcoming the constraints as length, size, and weight of product. We explain this model with application for company which export the automobile parts. We can expect the transportation cost reduction by 50%.
Logistics cost of domestic company has been improved continuously and annually, it is still higher than other main comparative countries. So, in this study, as optimizing the logistic network of distribution, it was trying to find methods decreasing logistics cost and storage cost, which occupies 86% of logistics cost of companies. through the efficiency of transportation and delivery routing, it could be also possible to decrease the logistics cost. And, it is also checked to find the logistics cost could be decreased by 10% by optimizing the routes of transportation and delivery, improving the transportation mode, etc.
The purpose of this paper is to present Smart Virtual TRS(Trunked Radio System) service that gives the TRS function in mobile network with smart phone application and server. TRS is essential equipment of logistics vehicle so, most of trunk drivers uses TRS frequently. Developed service is based on smartphone without TRS equipment. Therefore, Smart virtual TRS included in TMS(Transportation Management System) has some effects for logistics company. i) Smart Virtual TRS gives better communication environment between office and drivers. ii) Smartphone App gives flexibility to TMS functions. iii) Smart Virtual TRS gives cost reduction effect.
유럽 및 미국에서는 안전하며 환경친화적인 연안운송이 활성화되어 있으나 국내의 경우 연안운송에 의한 화물운송은 극히 저조한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 목포-제주 사이의 해상화물 분석 결과에 기초하여 육상/해상 복합운송시스템을 제안한다. 먼저 목포 및 제주의 반출입 화물 현황을 조사하고 연안항로 및 여객 화물에 대하여 분석한다. 그리고 철도-선박, 트럭-선박의 복합운송과 RORO선 연안운송 등에 대하여 고찰하였다. 마지막으로 목포-제주 항로에 대하여 RORO선을 활용한 연안운송시스템을 제안하고 그 기술적 타당성을 확인하였다.
The international oil majors have been reducing the size of their own oil tanker fleet since early 1980s. Like international oil majors, the Korean refineries are becoming more dependent on tanker chartering rather than tanker ownership for their oil transportation since the 1990s. They also prefer spot charter to time charter and this kind of trend has continued up to now. Consequently, this paper attempted to find the factors influencing changes in tanker fleet composition. To attain the object of the paper, an empirical study is adopted using the ten decision-making factors derived from preceeding studies. The findings are that MARPOL and OPA 90, and transportation costs are the most important factors influencing an oil tanker fleet composition.
