The market of air cargo in Korea grows very quickly and diversifies. It is an essential factor in the process of development of Northeast-Asia as a hub for Air Cargo logistics. But the process of air cargo in Korea is complex as compared with other north-east asia nations and it has many problems and causes inconvenience to owners of freight. We emphasize that 4PL(Fourth party Logistics) is the excellent solution from among many alternatives. The wave of 4PL added to strategic consulting based on new IT techniques, for example RFID, with logistics outsourcing through existing 3PL service is a great issue. It is also worthy of notice that EPCglobal network strengthen the role of 4PL. In conclusion, the 4PL system based on EPCglobal network will result in a good success, so it will raise a prestige of air cargo in Korea to a higher position. This study deals with the new logistics system, air cargo logistics system based on u-4PL system, RFID and EPCglobal network, that will bring many advantages. At the end, we verify the u-4PL air cargo logistics system by simulation tool.

The portion of air logistics is getting growing in the global logistics and customer need the rapidity and accuracy for freight delivery. But, the process of air logistics is so complicated because there are too many stakeholders involved in the process. So we suggest the way to make simple the process for improving ability of handling air freights. First, we analyze the AS-IS process and problems by studying previous documents and researching the field. Also we offer how to adopt the ways that are solutions concerning AS-IS process. Second, we suggest integrated information system that will make it simple the air logistics process and mitigate the intensive work load of air cargo. Also we show the reliance about our suggestion by simulation comparing TO-BE process to AS-IS process. We result in that this study will contribute to improve air logistics process by making simple the process.

Air logistics is getting growing continuously because customers need to increase rapidity and accuracy, but it isn't enough to study the process about air logistics in South Korea. We analyze the AS-IS process and problems by studying previous documents and researching in this field. We offer how to adopt the ways that are solutions concerning AS-IS process and benchmarking e-freight of IATA. Our suggestion reduces stakehoders' work load by using integrated system. We believe it will contribute to improve air logistics process by making simple the process.

These days, international air-logistics demand is getting bigger and bigger by increasing in trading volumes of export and import of Asia. It makes the air logistics of stakeholder to invest in air logistics facilities and information systems for meeting the growth of air transportation. However there are some problems that the efficiency of investment is not good by duplicately investing in information systems and moreover not compatible with each other because the stakeholder is investing in individual information system and air logistics facilities instead of constructing the integrated infrastructure. In this paper, we investigated the export, import, and transshipment process of air logistics to simplify air logistics process through the RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) application and the 4PL system.

Nowadays, the tendency of world air cargo is noteworthy and air traffic in terms of cargo throughput will no doubt grow significantly in the new Region, with India and China's booming economy and the upcoming Olympics 2008. For example, in the first 11 months of 2006 cargo traffic was increased by 6.3%. First of all, the market of air cargo in Korea grows very quickly and diversifies. It is an essential factor in the process of development of Northeast-Asia as a hub for Air Cargo logistics. However the process of air cargo in Korea is complex as compared with other north-east asia nations. At the same time, it has many problems and causes inconvenience to owners of freight. This paper investigated the process of air cargo in Korea now and analyzed problems of the process. We emphasize that 4PL is the excellent solution from among many alternatives. It is also worthy of notice that EPCglobal network strengthen the role of 4PL. In conclusion, the 4PL system based on EPCglobal network will result in a good success, so it will raise a prestige of air cargo in Korea to a higher position.

21세기 국제항공운송 수요는 아시아의 급속한 수출입 화물량의 증가에 힘입어 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 항공물류 이해관계자들은 이러한 항공화물의 수요를 충족시키기 위해 시설 및 정보시스템 등에 대한 투자를 확대하고 있다. 하지만 항공물류 프로세스 전반에 걸친 시설 및 정보 시스템의 투자가 아닌 항공물류 주체별 개별 투자로 인해 동일한 목적을 지닌 시스템이 중복되게 사용되고 있으며, 상호 호환성에도 문제가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 항공물류 프로세스 전반을 분석하고, 전술한바와 같은 물류 주체간개별 시스템의 호환성을 제고하기 위하여 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)기술을 도입한 항공물류 통합시스템을 제안함으로써, 항공물류 프로세스의 간소화 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

We must adapt to the rapid speed of information-oriented society well for outstanding central logistics nation of 21th century's Northeast Asian. Moreover, we must provide customers or enterprises with sufficiently satisfactory service about diversified desire of customers. In particular, we try to find the service process with RFID about air logistics that has many demands and is required to develop accurate and rapid service technique. As a result, we apply RFID to overall process of air logistics. After that, we will test the process and analyze results of the test. We are going to provide real possibilities of RFID enterprise and other service process. We will promote technology development of service process for air logistics' service.

21세기 동북아지역 물류중심국가로 발돋움하기 위해서는 변화속도가 빠른 지금의 정보화시대에 잘 적응해야 하고, 다변화하는 소비자의 욕구에 충분히 만족할 수 있을만한 서비스를 제공해야 한다. 특히, 항공물류에 있어서 많은 수요가 있고 정확하고 빠른 서비스 기술의 개발이 요구되는 것을 파악하여, RFID를 이용한 개발 방안을 모색해 보고자 한다. 항공물류 서비스 전 프로세스에 RFID를 적용하고, 이것을 테스트하여 테스트 결과 분석을 하는 RFID 사업을 검토하여 현실 가능성과 추후 연구 과제를 제시하고, 항공 물류 서비스 기술 개발을 도모하고자 한다.

ogistics creates a boom in accordance with the recent new technique's development along with the recent RFID/USN of ubiquitous computing technique. The wave of 4PL(Fourth Party Logistics) that added the strategic consulting based on new IT techniques to logistics outsourcing through existing 3PL service with is a great issue. Moreover, the customer enterprises which contained manufacturers and distributors need the one stop service, therefore a method for effectively dealing with global logistics' environment changes is needed. Above all, a development of the 4PL system with RFID is very urgent. We developed the RFID u-4PL system progressed more than the present system, in which we applied many international standards. Finally, we constructed the web service based on Web 2.0 because of important condition of 4PL.
