Activation plans for e-logistics of information era

정보화시대의 e-물류 효율화방안

This study is to understand basic knowledge on e-logistics through the analysis of third party logistics(3PL) as well as fourth party logistics(4PL) and to suggest some activation plans of e-logistics of information era to get competition in the field of international logistics. Compared with advanced countries, Korean companies has not activated 3PL logistics as Korean companies are not inclined to open their business information to others and they didn't recognize the importance of logistics. As the business environments are worsening little by little, there has been greater concerns for e-logistics as a way of focusing on the core-business. Most of Korean companies has outsourced simple and limited scope of 3PL and 4PL services with 1st level of logistics outsourcing. To activate e-logistics, Korean government and private enterprises have to pursue the following strategies. First, Korean government should change the present laws preventing the enterprises specialized in 3PL from doing business and should pursue logistics information and standardization. Also the government needs to support 3PL companies. Second, private companies do their best to retain and develope factors of logistics resources professional and to develope the latest technology. 3PL providers have pursue effective logistics strategies and to invest capitals for the information technology.

정보통신기술의 발달로 인한 물류활동의 발달로 인하여 물류서비스를 통한 경쟁우위라는 점이 부각되면서 물류기능이 단순한 지원기능이 아니라 고객유지를 위한 전략적인 경쟁우위의 중요한 원천으로 인식되고 있다. 특히 기업경영의 세계화에 따라 물류정보의 첨단화가 요구됨으로써 사이버물루(e-logistics)환경이 전략적 물류관리의 성패요인으로 작용하면서 정보화시대의 e-물류효율화의 중용성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 정보화시대의 e-물류변화와 국제물류의 주축을 이루고 있는 제3자 물류와 제4자 물류의 기능을 비교하고 국제 e-물류를 활성화시키기 위해서 종합물류정보망 구축, 법률과 제도개선, 정보표준화의 추진, 기업의 효율적인 물류전략 추진, 물류업체간 전략적 제휴, e-물류환경의 기반구축 등의 문제들을 중심으로 전략적 물류관리방안들을 제시하였다.
