As the popularity of logistics service outsourcing has been continuously growing, one of the most frequently addressed issues is how to estimate the effect of cost reduction for users and profit gains from outsourcing contract for providers. Many manufacturing companies agree that logistics outsourcing helps to reduce their operating costs, but some other companies still do not achieve the cost saving or do not trust logistics service providers, so they keep up in-house logistics operations. On the other hand, logistics service providers have low profitability from domestic business activities since they should meet the requirements for highly customized and diverse services from customers and unstable market situation. This study provided the status report dealing with logistics service contracts in Korea. From the focused group interview with logistics professionals, we found out that service scope, scale and cost structure are the most influential factors affecting logistics service contracts. Also, logistics service providers are more sensitive than users regarding value-added logistics service, contract duration and process. Moreover, this study also proposed the standard clauses for logistics service contract and types of logistics contract applied in current logistics fields. As a result, it is expected that these achievements from this study can be utilized to improve the satisfaction of logistics outsourcing in upgrading service quality and customer service level.

Due to the recent and rapid globalization, logistics outsourcing has expanded globally and is seen as a means of creating a robust logistics system. However, many businesses continue to have difficulties with their logistics outsourcing contracts, which compels them to reinstate the logistics function for internal management. This study aims to investigate how organizational capabilities of logistics service providers (LSPs), notably flexibility, integration, innovation, and technological capabilities, impact on the logistics outsourcing success in Ugandan food processing firms. Using a structured questionnaire survey, cross-sectional data collected from 211 food processing firms in Kampala - Uganda were analyzed by partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.3.7 software to examine the theorized relationships. The study findings revealed that whereas the technological and innovation capabilities positively and significantly influence logistics outsourcing success, the effects of flexibility and integration capabilities were insignificant. Additionally, the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) reveals that the technological capability is a priority capability, followed by the innovation capability if logistics outsourcing success is to be achieved. Conversely, flexibility and integration capabilities are of low priority.

Recently, due to the globalization of business, the efficient supply chain management(SCM) is considered as the key initiatives of business activities, and the leading logistics companies are trying to provide the differentiated 3PL services to meet their customers' needs. The domestic 3PL market scale, however, is still small and the logistics companies' competence is not good enough, so that 3PL companies need to concentrate on their logistics strategies and the government's supports and related policies are required. In this point of view, we developed the system dynamics model and forecasted middle or long-term domestic 3PL market. Through the result, we suggest the roles of government and the directions of policies to support the domestic 3PL market effectively.

This paper qualitatively describes logistics behaviors of 113 companies located in Daegu-Gyeongbuk by considering various characteristics such as business location, trade volume, cargo types and the possession of company's own warehouse. A logit model is developed to investigate how predictor variables affect these companies' inclination of utilizing Third Party Logistics Provider(3PL). The estimation results of 102 effective data points show that among the four predictors the location of company's HQs (HQADD) and trade volume (TRDTEU) significantly increase company's tendency towards utilizing 3PL while the remaining two variables (BULK, WAREHS) imparting statistically insignificant influence. The results indicate that those companies located outside the region tend to implement a strategy of using more 3PL and also that the larger the trade volume of the company the more 3PL the company uses to improve the efficiency in logistics.

Therefore logistics outsourcing of automobile manufacturing company tends to make long-term contract with logistics service provider which also makes it difficult to outsource their logistics business to many different types of companies. Some vehicle manufacturing companies tend to outsource their several logistics to several companies while others outsource very limited number of logistics companies even only one company exclusively. This study aims to investigate various type of logistics outsourcing in terms of advantages and disadvantages and then carry out case study for Hyundai Glovis which is a global logistics company managing logistics service of Hyundai car maker in Korea.

현재 무한경쟁의 시장환경 속에서 기업자체만으로 어려움을 감내하기란 많은 문제를 갖고있다. 그래서 기업은 물류활동을 전문적으로 담당하는 훌륭한 파트너를 통하여 이 문제를 해결하고 있으며 이전의 수직적 업무관행을 넘어선 동반자적인 파트너로써의 제 3 자 물류(TPL : Third Part Logistics : 이후 TPL로 표기함)를 활용하고 있다. 파트너관계는 이전에도 중요한 기업 전략이었으나 인터넷과 수많은 정보기술의 보급을 통한 전자상거래의 도래로 기업은 신속하고 정확하게 시장과 고객의 요구와 니즈를 만족시킬 수 있는 선도기술개발과 서비스제공능력이 기업의 핵심역량으로써 중요하게 되었다. 그래서 이러한 역량과 유연성을 갖춘 파트너와의 전략적관계형성과 관리를 할 수 있는 체계적인 파트너관계업무프로세스가 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TPL 기업에서 유연한 공급사슬파트너관계구축과 관리를 가능하게 하고 고객요구를 대처할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 미래의 고객요구를 예측가능 할 수 있는 방안으로 e-PRM 모델을 제시하고자 한다.
