Logistics companies distinguish between medium-sized business and small business according to the size of enterprises. Of course, conglomerates are called global corporations. In this study, mid-sized companies over a certain size or more and those below are classified and decide the priorities among important factors to secure competitiveness in logistics companies are determined through AHP technique. Mid-sized companies are companies that can provide more than two logistics services. For example, they provide warehousing and transportation services in the same time. small companies are companies that can mostly provide one functional service. Warehousing, transportation, manpower, and information are listed as factors in this study. As a result of the study, medium-sized companies emphasized on the importance of transportation. When it comes to small companies, warehousing was emphasized as an important factor. Due to the simultaneous and contemporary service of warehousing and transportation in small-sized company, the reliable image of the company will be underestimated in case of delays in transportation. Competitiveness will also be weakened. Global corporations or conglomerates will start to consider relocating warehousing areas to others except for the central storage hub. They won’t plan to invest directly, either. Therefore, it will be possible to secure competitiveness by providing the function of warehousing and to signed easily partnership

The expansion on the scale of international trade and rapid economic growth in Northeast Asia have caused intense competition among global companies for securing international logistics center in Northeast Asia. Analyzing location competitiveness for international logistics center in Northeast Asia, this paper aims to extract implications for enhancing locational competitiveness. Employing the relative importance among location selection factors extracted from AHP analysis in prior study, we evaluated the major five port-cities in Northeast Asia including Busan, Gwangyang, Shanghai, Qingdao and Tokyo. In the evaluations, Shanghai (3.926) ranked as the first, followed by Busan (3.859), Qingdao (3.555), Tokyo (3.013) and Gwangyang (2.915). Furthermore, the causal relationships between determinants for location choice decision (logistics factor, cost factor, market factor, service factor and environmental factor) and dependent variables (competitiveness of international logistics center, potentiality to growth, present intention to move into and future plan to move into) were analyzed to provide implications. Results provide useful insights for further improvements, and helps strategic agenda for future development of port-cities.

국내 대기업 물류회사(2자 물류기업)의 물류시장 대거 잠식으로 국내 물류시장의 3자 물류 비중은 약 30% 수준으로 매년 축소되고 있다. DP, DHL 등 글로벌 3자 물류기업은 글로벌 물류시장 장악력을 강화하고 있는 반면 국내 중, 소규모의 3자 물류 기업은 성장의 한계에 부딪혀 세계 물류시장에서 차지하는 비중은 극히 미미하다. 다행스럽게도 새 정부의 중소기업 육성 강화정책과 UN의 아시아지역, 개도국 공급선 확대 추세는 아주 긍정적인 환경이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 때에 국내 중소 물류기업이 유엔 조달 물류시장에서 글로벌 네트워크를 가진 유럽, 미국계 기업들과 경쟁하여 입찰에 성공할 수 있게 도움을 주기 위하여 운송사례 연구와 SWOT 분석으로 국내외 물류환경 여건을 분석하여 세부적인 산학협력방안 및 정부의 지원 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

An environment of world marine port today is rapidly changing. Importance of a hub port is being maximized along with appearance of a large container ship, and Busan port is also growing with the goal as a hub port of Northeast Asia. Busan port currently has competitive power as the 5th top port in the world, but increase rate of transportation quantity, is low compared to Shanghai port in China and other ports in Northeast Asia. For a port to obtain competitiveness, investment on infrastructures of a port is necessary and also it has close relation with an intraregional port logistics industry. However, a port logistics industry in Busan area has a hard time avoiding a small size due to the government support on major companies. Therefore, this study will analyze difficulties of small port logistics companies and the related companies as to vitalize port logistics industry in Busan area in hopes to help vitalizing regional economy.

연안해운과 관련한 최근 환경 변화는 남북해운합의서 발효에 따른 남북물류의 증대 가능성과 환황해권, 환동해권의 동북아 연안 부상 등을 언급할 수 있다. 그러니, 연안해운에 대한 국가 정책의 소외는 우리나라라 물류거점화 되는데 많은 문세점을 노출하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하고 외항과 연안간 균형발전을 도모하여 우리나라가 동북아 물류거점화 할 수 있는 방안을 크게 연계수송체제의 강화. 연안해운의 체질강화 및 정부의 체계적인 지원정책으로 구분, 제시하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구결과에 의하면, 첫째로, 연계수송체계를 강화하기 위해 거점항만내에 연안피더 전용선석의 구축으로 연안피더운송의 연계성 강화가 필요하며 둘째로, 언안부두에 화주즐 유인할 수 있는 공동장치장 및 하역설비를 대폭 보강하여 일괄 서비스체제의 확립, 노후 비경계선의 Ro-Ro 선 혹은 고속컨테이너선으로의 대체. 화물선에 대한 면세유 공급과 각종 세제의 실질적인 혜댁부여로 환경 친화적이며 균형있는 외항-연안 물류사슬체계(Logistics Chain System)를 갖추는 것이 필요한 것으로 나타나고 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 21세기 국제물류전략의 근간이 되는 ASEAN과 한국의 주요 컨테이너항만의 경쟁력 파악과 비교ㆍ평가를 통하여 한국항만의 경쟁력 제고를 위한 對 ASEAN에 관한 정책적 시사점을 강구함에 있다. 연구방법론과 범위는 ASEAN과 한국에 있어서 컨테이너항만의 경쟁력이라는 정성적인 속성을 정량화하여 평가하는 계층퍼지 분석(HFP)기법을 도입하여 실증분석을 하였다. 연구의 결과 싱가포르가 1위, 부산과 마닐라항만이 공동 2위의 선두그룹으로 평가되었다. 본 논문의 기여도는 한국과 ASEAN의 항만경쟁력 비교 연구를 통해 사회과학분야의 연구에 적용할 수 있는 HFT방법론을 도입하여 정책수립에 응용한 최신의 실증적인 연구접근에 있다.

Since the mid 1980s, 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. Therefore study on the service organization of the logistics system for customer’s satisfaction from the management’s point has been focused as one of the major subject in order to improve the logistics quality which would ultimately increase the value of logistics service. This study has been focused on what the port logistics functions and the factors of the port logistics quality are those Korean port managers acknowledge as important factor. And examins these port logistics quality levels and the port logistics value (port productivity, service results) obtained by the results of these activities while reviewing the relation of the custom value which the port managers evaluate in order to evaluate and promote the competitiveness of the Korean port. According to the study results the port logistics function which the Pusan Container Terminal managers recognized as important were customer service management the flexibility of the port facilities and curtailment of the original operation cost of the port. It also indicated that the managers recognized the importance of the customer-oriented terminal management as it showed a close relationship with the port quality level.
