This thesis investigates the feasibility and advantages of establishing a more efficient distribution system utilizing new technologies such as the internet and radio frequency identification (RFID). Introducing and promoting the diffusion of commodity traceability (the ability to trace the distribution route of products and materials) is necessary in order to make distribution and logistics more efficient, to clarify the safety of foods and daily necessities, to prevent theft and to monitor the dealing of stolen or imitation goods. This thesis focuses especially on a commodity (products) traceability system to enhance transparency for consumers. The expected effects of RFID can be summarized as follows. - Substantial improvement in logistics efficiency. - Higher consumer safety, quality management, and security for foods, drugs, and goods (clothes, books, electric appliances, automobiles, etc.) through improved traceability.

Many research papers on transportation studies have focused on the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and Vehicle Scheduling Problem (VSP). However in the real world, it is known that it takes long time to build vehicle scheduling in the process of transporting the amount of orders from the logistics center to the vendors due to the realistic constraints. This paper presents a framework design for each process enabling delivery planning automatically using heuristic algorithm. In addition, an interactive automatic delivery planning system is implemented utilizing the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 항만 물류 시스템에서 사용하는 중심주파수 433 MHz에서 동작하는 전파흡수체를 설계 개발하였다. 먼저 자성손실 재료인 AMP (Amorphous Metal Powder)와 지지재인 CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene)를 이용하여 AMP:CPE의 조성비가 각각 80:20 wt.%와 85:15 wt.%의 전파흡수체 샘플을 제작한 후, 입력임피던스를 측정하여 샘플의 재료정수를 계산하고 시뮬레이션에 의하여 최적의 전파흡수체를 설계하였다. 그 결과 AMP:CPE=85:15 wt.% 의 조성비에 두께 5.5 mm일 때 최적의 전파흡수특성이 얻어짐을 확인하고, 실제 제작하여 측정한 결과 433 MHz 주파수대역에서 17.5 dB의 흡수능이 얻어졌으며, 이는 본 연구에서 목표로 하는 15 dB 보다 우수한 결과이다.

새로운 패러다임의 유비쿼터스 환경과 물류의 응용에 있어서 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)는 핵심기술로 등장하고 있다. 그러나 RFID 칩의 가격이 비싸고 짧은 대역폭, 저 전력과 전파 간섭 등이 기술적인 문제가 될 수 있다는 점이 상용화의 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 또한, 규격화를 이루고 있는 리더기와 태그, 임베디드 소프트웨어 등은 대부분 비싼 로열티를 지급하고 수입되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 논문은 물류 시스템 적용을 위한 유비쿼터스 환경에서 PDA를 이용한 RFID 인식 시스템으로 생산품에 태그를 부착하여 기본적인 정보의 입출력을 처리한다. 그리고 데이터베이스의 구축을 통한 신속, 정확, 안전한 통합 물류관리 시스템을 지원하여 물류비용을 최소화하고 고객 서비스를 향상 시킬 수 있다. 기존의 고정식 인식 시스템보다 휴대 및 이동이 가능하여 응용의 범위를 넓힐 수 있는 장점과 고가인 기존 장비에 비하여 저비용의 응용 시스템을 구축할 수 있다.

The information technology(IT) development of telecommunication, along with the information analyzation over the world, enables the firms to process their inner and outer operations through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system. And the concept of logistics has become more important to the enterprises in strategic sense because it had aggrandized itself to more comprehensive and integrative concept. Also the world shipping market is more competitive than any other market. In these environment, to maintain competitive power, shipping firms process operations by Logistics Information system(LIS), And then, reduce the working processes, working time and its costs. So the LIS has become more important in developing our national logistics system and industry. Therefore, this study purposes on empirically analyzing the activation factors of shipping LIS and the relationship these, factors with logistic performances in the shipping industry. Considering environments of Shipping logistics information system, this study sets up the research model and hypothesis to examine the activation factors of shipping LIS and the relationship these factors with logistic performances. We used the field data on the 163 numbers of firms(29 overseas shipping companies and 133 forwarding Agency) to get the empirical evidence. According to the study results, The shipping LIS activation factors which the sample firms recognized as important: were top managers support, well structured communication channel, strategic plans connection and inner information analyzation level. And IS organization & human resources, IS discipline & training, software development, IS organizational alignment, database management system, information standardization, competitive advantage, financial support and government support represent partially significant. Also, the current shipping LISs main problems are expensive system cost, standardization of working processs, institutions imperfection and systems interaction defect. So these problems must be improved to activate shipping LIS.

For the purpose of analyzing the influence of the recent environmental changes of container logistics system in container terminal, the simulation model of container logistics system on BCTOC is developed in this paper. The simulation model is accomplished by the AweSim simulation language, and the several data which have been used in simulation gained through spot research and basic statistic analysis using the first half of 1998 electronic data in BCTOC. The results of this study are as follows; (1) In the case of BCTOC, the decreasing of container volumes is observed during the first half of 1998 compare with that of 1997. (2) In the container handling service market, the monopolistic market system in the past rapidly diverts to the competition market system from now. (3) From the simulation results, the improving of container logistics system is observed. (4) Because of these results, BCTOC will come to strengthen customer service and competitive power through starting On-Dock service system and operating the team of customer management in the long term.

For the purpose of building the simulation model on cargo handling capacity in container terminal we composed a model of container logistics system which has a 4 subsystem; cargo handling transportation storage and gate complex system. Several data are used in simulation which were gained through a field study and a basic statistic analysis of raw data on BCTOC from January to Jane in 1998. The results of this study are as follows; First average available ratios of each subsystems were 50% for G/C, 57.5% for Y/T, 56% for storage system and 50% for gate complex. And there were no subsystems occurring specific bottleneck. Second comparing the results of simulation to the results of basic statistics analysis we can verifying the suitability of this simulation model. Third comparing the results of this study to the results of existed similar study in 1996, we were able to confirm the changes of container logistics system in BCTOC.

Because of the sharp increase of its export and import container cargo volumes contrast to the lack of related Container Terminal facility, equipment and inefficient procedure, there is now heavy container cargo congestions in Pusan Container Terminal. As a result of such a situation, many container ships avoid their calls into Pusan port. This is a major cause that in tum kads to weakening intemational competitiveness of the Korean industry. This study, therefore, aims are to make a quantitative analysis of Container Terminal System through the computer simulation, especially focusing on its 4 sub-system of a handling system, 'it is checked whether the current operation is being performed effectively through the computer simulation. The overall findings are as folIows; Firstly, average tonnage of the ships visiting the BCTOC was 32,360 G/T in from January '96, to may '96. The average arrival interval and service time of container ships at BCTOC are 5.63 hours and 18.67 hours respectively. Ship's arrival and service pattern at BCTOC was exponential distribution with 95% confidence and Erlang-4 distribution with 99% confidence. Secondly, average waiting time and number of ships was 9.9 hours, 235 ships(38%) among 620 ships. Number of stevedoring container per ship was average 747.7 TED, standard deviation 379.1 TEU and normal distribution with 99% confidence. Thirdly, from the fact that the average storage days of containers at BCTOC are 2.75 days (3.0 days when import, 2.5 days when export). it is founds that most containers were transfered to the off-dock storage areas with the free periods(5 days when import, 4 days when export), the reason for which is considered to be the insufficient storage area at BCTOC. Fourthly, in the case of gate in-out at BCTOC, occupied containers and emptied containers are 89% and 11% respectively in the gate-in, 75% and 25% seperately in the gate-out. Finally, from the quantitative analysis results for container terminal at BCTOC, ship's average wating time of ships was found to be 20.77 hours and berth occupancy rate(σ) was 0.83. 5~6 berths were required in order that the berth occupancy rate(σ) may be maintained up to 60% degree.
