The meaning of "added value" refers to the contribution of the factors of production, i.e., land, labor, and capital goods, to raising the value of a product and corresponds to the incomes received by the owners of these factors. The importance of added value in service industry has been recognized as one of the critical factors to economic growth, even in logistics industry. But, it is hard to find out the previous studies providing a clear definition and framework for designing and analyzing the performance of Value Added Logistics(VAL). The purpose of this study is to define the meaning of extended VAL that extensively includes activities initiating and operating the reverse logistics under the closed-loop logistic scheme, and to suggest the framework that describes the partnerships among participants involving in operating the value added logistics. Also, in this paper, we emphasize on the need for investigation of added value logistics definition and framework based on previous academic studies, and examine various value added logistics service activities of current leading 3PL companies across the world. Finally, we suggest the analytic framework for value added logistics throughout closed-loop logistics.

우리나라 항만배후단지는 수출입 화주의 글로벌 SCM 지원 및 효율적 물류활동을 지원하고, 항만의 고부가가치화를 실현하기 위해 개발 및 운영되고 있다. 따라서 물류센터를 운영하는 항만배후단지 입주기업들은 다양한 부가가치 물류활동을 수행할 것으로 기대되었으나, 여전히 단순 보관기능 위주의 활동에 치중되어 있다는 비판을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 항만배후단지 입주기업의 부가가치 물류활동 실태를 설문조사를 통해 분석하였다. 응답 입주기업의 44%가 단순 하역, 운송, 보관 기능만 수행하는 것으로 조사되었고, 5개 이상 부가가치 물류활동을 수행하는 기업은 전체의 11%로 낮은 수준으로 나타났다. 또한 포장, 분류, 라벨링 등 비교적 저수준의 부가가가치 물류활동이 전체 부가가치 물류활동의 약 60%로 나타났고, 2017년 기준 부가가치 환적화물의 처리 비중은 2.6%로 상당히 낮은 결과를 나타냈다. 항만배후단지 입주기업의 부가가치 물류활동 수준을 제고하고, 부가가치 환적화물 유치 강화 등을 위한 경쟁력 강화방안 마련이 요구된다.

The volume of trade between Korea and China has been growing significantly year by year since the diplomatic relations have been established in 1992. The economic and logistics cooperation between the two countries is crucial not only for the development of their economic relations but for promotion of value-added logistics. However there are still huge and serious impediments to logistics network and management between the two countries including bottlenecks in transport and customs procedures. The purpose of this study is to investigate how to promote value added logistics activities between Korea and Shandong Province of China. It is suggested the ways to increase VAL activities such as enhanced division of international labour within industries, provision of comprehensive logistics service and establishment of strategy for supply chain management between the two countries.

The "logistics industry" is recommended as an economic growth power in the future in Korea. In the past, Korea has handled China's freight volume overflow as a transfer hub. However, recently China has been constructing its own port facilities and many mega fleets have been moving to China's ports. As a result, the position of Korea's hub-ports facing a crisis. Now, new strategies are necessary for renovating Korea's logistics industry and international competitiveness. This study proposes a "value-added logistics cluster" as a new strategy. In particular, this study proposes a Korean value-added logistics cluster that maximizes Korea's locational and industrial advantages. Additionally, a model for a value-added logistics cluster is proposed for the rehabilitation of Korea's ports as logistics hubs in Northeast Asia. Many analyses are executed step-by-step to develop a Korean value-added logistics cluster model, such as an analysis of the relationship between the logistics industry and other industries for the definition of cluster components. Lastly, the Korean value-added logistics cluster model is applied to Kwangyang port, which is currently confronted with a crisis because of the decrease of freight volume.

The Korean logistics industry has grown with the development of domestic industries. The industry plays an important role in national and regional economic growth, and the government has continued policy efforts to foster the industry. This study analyzes the competitiveness of the regional logistics industry and its contribution to the regional economy. Location coefficients are used to analyze local specialization in each logistics industry. The value-added rate, GDP contribution, value-added induction coefficient, and net value-added income of regional logistics industries are analyzed using a regional input-output table. As a result, the logistics industry is found to have net value-added income and competitiveness in some regions, and there is no relationship between the location coefficient and the value-added contribution of the regional logistics industry. Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, Busan, and Jeju have the competitiveness of each logistics industry. In addition, we identified the regions where the logistics infrastructure is well developed and those in which it needs to be supported. The regions where the logistics industry has developed require policies for making high value-added by logistics activity, and regions with insufficient growth need to support the development of the logistics industry by investing human resources and capital that can meet the local demand.

In the Northeast Asian region, including Korea, China, and Japan, with rapid economic growth since the 1990s, intra-regional oil logistics has been increasing. Under such external circumstances, Korea has been pursuing a policy to become a Northeast Asian petroleum logistics hub since the mid-2000s. In order to become a Northeast Asian logistics hub, it is important to establish and promote a business model to promote the value-added oil logistics business. This study aims to propose policies and practical implications for increasing petroleum logistics by analyzing Korea's petroleum logistics business model in Northeast Asia. The results of case analysis through interviews with 23 tank terminal companies are as follows. First, most of the oil storage tank terminal companies interviewed are conducting value-added petroleum logistics such as blending, breaking bulk, and consolidation etc. Second, value-added petroleum logistics is caused by an imbalance in supply and demand among neighboring countries in Northeast Asia. In particular, there is a high demand for breaking bulk and blending connecting Japan, Oceania, the United States, and South America. Third, it is necessary to promote the promotion of value-added logistics by improving infrastructure, institutions, and regulations in response to the demand for value-added petroleum logistics, which will greatly contribute to Korea's policy for being Northeast Asian oil hub.

Although the port distripark concept and its development policy have been introduced since almost twenty years, there is no visible results of the policy. Specifically, the level of value-added logistics using transhipment cargo is too low. In this paper, we mainly focus on the causes of the policy failure of port distripark's value added activities in terms of conceptual as well as practical or functional. Definitely, the study reviews the concept of port distripark compared to industrial park or bonded factory. The study also analyzes the differentiation of port distripark and port hinterland. The study generats that the problem or error that may occur when port hinterland is identified with the port distripark. Last but not least, the limitations of value added logistics is generated on the study. We examined in depth whether the already well known value added activity of port distripark is really activities that add 'value'.
