Many manufacturers applying third party logistics (3PLs) have some challenges to increase their logistics efficiency. This study introduces an effort to estimate the weight of the delivery trucks provided by 3PL providers, which allows the manufacturer to package and load products in trailers in advance to reduce delivery time. The accuracy of the weigh estimation is more important due to the total weight regulation. This study uses not only the data from the company but also many general prediction variables such as weather, oil prices and population of destinations. In addition, operational statistics variables are developed to indicate the availabilities of the trucks in a specific weight category for each 3PL provider. The prediction model using XGBoost regressor and permutation feature importance method provides highly acceptable performance with MAPE of 2.785% and shows the effectiveness of the developed operational statistics variables.

세계적인 자원고갈과 지구온난화와 같은 환경문제가 발생됨에 따라 대체에너지 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 섬유소 기질을 이용한 바이오에탄올 생산은 세계적으로 막대한 자원이 있으며 광합성에 의해 재생산되는 무한한 재원으로서 환경적으로도 대기오염물질을 적게 배출하여 유용한 에너지원으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 섬유소 기질은 cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin과 같은 고분자 화합물이 유기적으로 결합된 단단한 결정구조로 이루어져 있어 이를 분해하여 원하는 물질을 얻기 위해서는 전처리 과정이 필요하다. 전처리 공정은 바이오에탄올을 생산하는 당화 및 발효공정의 효율 및 반응시간 단축에 기여하며, 특히 섬유소 기질일 경우에는 필수불가결한 공정이다. 전처리 공정은 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 방법으로 나누어지며, 이러한 방법들 중 기질의 특성과 처리효율에 따라 기술들을 병합하여 사용하기도 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 산 처리, 암모니아 처리, 과산화수소 처리 및 효소를 이용한 생물학적 처리를 단독 또는 병행하여, 전환된 당 성분 및 함량을 조사함으로서 섬유소계 기질인 채소 음식물류 쓰레기를 대상으로 바이오에탄올을 경제적으로 생산하기 위한 적합한 전처리법을 검토하였다. 전처리 방법별 당화율을 살펴보면, 산 처리와 암모니아-과산화수소-계면활성제 처리가 각각 65.3 % 및 65.7 %로 가장 높았으며, 과산화수소 처리는 16.2 %로 가장 낮았다. 반면 전처리 공정 없이 효소를 이용한 당화만을 실시한 경우에는 4.3 %의 낮은 당화율을 나타내었다. 섬유소계 기질의 전처리 효율을 향상시키기 위해 첨가하는 계면활성제의 효과는 암모니아-과산화수소 및 암모니아-과산화수소-계면활성제 처리의 당화율을 비교한 결과, 뚜렷한 효과를 확인할 수 없었다. 전처리 방법별 당의 성분 및 함량을 비교한 결과 육탄당은 암모니아-과산화수소-계면활성제 전처리에서 가장 많이 검출되었다. 오탄당은 산 처리 후 그 함량이 현저히 높았으며, 오탄당 중 xylose의 함량이 60.49 mg/g로 가장 많이 차지하고 있었다. 이 결과로부터 전처리 방법에 관계없이 당화율은 유사한 수준을 보이지만, 당화된 당의 성분 및 함량에는 큰 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이당류의 경우 과산화수소 및 암모니아-과산화수소 처리를 제외한 나머지 전처리 방법에서 유사한 수준을 나타내었다. 암모니아 처리 및 과산화수소 처리를 순차적으로 병행한 암모니아-과산화수소 처리에서는 각각의 처리시보다 육탄당의 함량은 증가하였으나 암모니아 처리시보다 이당류의 함량은 감소한 것으로 나타났다.

Brands are important in the consumer market. They are the interface between consumers and the company, consumers may develop loyalty to brands. also, The late development of industrial marketing explains the near absence of research on Brand Equity in business to business. With recent change, industrial companies have shifted from a production focus to a customer focus. industrial brand is fast developing. The basic purpose of this study is to investigate industrial brand trust and loyalty affecting the Result of business relationship between industrial buyers and suppliers. Factors hypothesized to influence trust in a brand include a number of brand characteristics, company characteristics and consumer-brand characteristics. This research presented a comprehensive constructive model consisting of components of industrial brand trust and loyalty, and then propose the research model base on prior researches and studies about relationships among components of industrial brand loyalty. Data were gathered from respondents who work in industrial buying center. For this study, Data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 and AMOS 4.0. The results of this research analysis were as fallow. Industrial brand trust and loyalty were positively related with a number of industrial brand characteristics, supplier characteristics and buyer-brand characteristics. relationship commitment. This research newly proposed the concept of 'industrial brand trust and loyalty affecting the Result of business relationship between industrial buyers and suppliers'

Over the past decades the concept of Third-Party Logistics(TPL) has generated considerable interest in American and European industries. It involves outsourcing logistics activities that have traditionally been performed within an organization. The functions performed by the third-party logistics can encompass the entire logistics process or, more commonly, selected activities with that process. Increasing corporate emphasis on such concepts as reengineering and supply chain management has led many companies to consider the use of such third-party logistics. This study examines the possibility of applying existing American research of the third-party logistics to Korean companies and investigates the criteria for the use of third-party logistics in Korea. To design the model and generate the hypotheses, this study conducted a comprehensive literature survey on the third-party logistics. To test the hypotheses, this study collected data from 229 companies from the public companies in Korea through a questionnaire survey and conducted descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS for Windows Ver. 7.5 package. This study is hoped that it may contribute to the understanding and introducing of the third-party logistics in the fields of the firms. But there were some restrictions that the respondents were not covered all kinds of firms. These and other major findings from this study imply that existing American studies may be applicable the Korean companies and that this study may complement the deficiencies of the existing studies. Thus, the summary of the literature review, the research model and hypotheses, and empirical findings in this study will provide useful ideas for future research and deep insights for successful logistics management.

The purpose of this study is to present an alternative improving the efficient and reasonable of the physical distribution system management is influenced by many factors. Therefore, the study depends on the documentary method and survey method to achieve the purpose of this study. The major components of a physical distribution system are refers to as elements, include warehouse·storage system, transportation system, inventory system, physical distribution information system. The factors used in this study are ① factor of product(quality·A/S·added value of product·adaption of product·technical competitive power to other enterprises), ② factor of market(market channel·kinds of customer·physical distribution share), ③ factor of warehouse·storage(warehouse design·size·direction·storage ability·warehouse quality), ④ factor of transportation(promptness·reliability·responsibility·kinds of transportation·cooperation united transportation system·national transportation network), ⑤ factor of packaging (packaging design·material·educating program·pollution degree measure program), ⑥ factor of inventory(ordinary inventory criterion·consistence for inventories record), ⑦ factor of unloaded(unloaded machine·having machine ratio), ⑧ factor of information system (physical distribution quantity analysis·usable computer part), ⑨ factor of physical distribution cost(sales ratio to product) ⑩ factor of physical distribution system(physical distribution center etc). The implication of this study can be summarized as follows: ① In firms that have not adopted a systems integrative approach, physical distribution is a fragmented and often uncoordinated set of activities spread throughout various functions with function having its own set of priorities and measurements. ② The physical distribution is recognized as more an important strategic factor than a simple cost reduction factor, ③ It can be used a strategic competition tool to enterprise.

In order for the users (shipping firms and shippers) and suppliers (stevedoring firms) in the container terminal industry to win-win, it is necessary to have some appropriate diverse market conditions for the industry. This study analyses the basic conditions and demand and supply characteristics of the industry and investigates the market performance of Busan container ports. First, this article analyses the basic characteristics of demand and supply. As the demand characteristics, there are five ones such as 1) exogeneity of demand, 2) function as export/import transportation and hub for transshipment, 3) increase of users' bargaining power, 4) high substituting elasticity, 5) reduction of volume growth. As the supply characteristics, there are seven ones such as 1) inelasticity of supply, 2) homogeneity of stevedoring services, 3) over-supply, 4) adoption of cutting-edge stevedoring technology, 5) scale economy and impossibility of storage, 6) labor market rigidity, 7) enhancing port's role in SCM. In addition, this study conducts the so-called structure-conduct-performance analysis. For the structure analysis, 1) lacks of scale economy in stevedoring companies, 2) high entry barrier, 3) strengthening of shipping firms' bargaining power, 4) transitory permission scheme for tariff are analyzed. For the conduct analysis, 1) price discrimination between export/import and transshipment, 2) mid-term length of terminal use contract, 3) continuous investment in equipment, 4) low level of cooperation among terminal operating firms are derived. For the performance analysis, 1) inequality in profitability, 2) reduction of export/import cost, 3) delay in adopting cutting-edge technology, 4) idle equipment are analyzed. Following this logical flow, the hypothesis that the market structure influences the market conduct is tested based on the actual dataset. As a future agenda in the conclusion, this article recommends the so-called port industrial policy.

Mulching film was produced by LDPE and LLDPE adding biomass byproducts and MA(maleic anhydride), talc/clay/CaO/CaCO₃. And also surveyed to tensile strength, elongation, TGA and DSC according to the UV irradiation time. The tensile strength and elongation showed 20 N/cm² and 5% after UV irradiation 100 hours, and those was nearly 0 N/cm² and 0% after 200 hours, respectively. TGA of film was showed to peak of polymer itself, and DSC was slightly higher than that of initial value. At the pilot scale test, we were able to see the differentiate of degradation between control and developed film after 12 weeks, and also torn off at several part of mulching film. The degradation of mulching film after growing corn showed similar to a pilot scale test. Above the results, the developed mulching film adding biomass will be to used for agricultural farming.
