Purpose - This research focuses on the analysis of logistics barriers in Korea, China and Japan facing the barriers of overseas-expanded manufacturers with other countries. With the tree countries are emerging as the biggest trade partners in Northeast Asia, their logistics barriers are applied with similar verification methods of preceding researches such as Carter(1997). Research design, data and methodology - Collecting the statistics data from the three countries' overseas-expanded manufacturers, t-verification was performed in order to analyze average value and verify any significance. Additionally, multiple regression analysis was used to analyze any influence on the relationship in Korean logistics barrier and Chinese and Japanese expansion to Korean market. Results - Statistics suggested that three countries' logistics barriers are significantly differentiated by each verification categories, and Korean barrier negatively affected Chinese and Japanese manufacturers coming into Korean market. Conclusions - As a result of multiple regression analysis of the influencing relationship between Korea's logistics barrier and Chinese and Japanese companies coming into Korean market, all of the Korean barriers are affecting the companies as an obstructive factor, and it is proved to be statistically meaningful. Therefore, in order to reduce Chinese and Japanese companies' cost burden, it is necessary that not only reasonable charge system and taxation support but also comprehensive measure establishment reduce Korea's logistics barriers. However, since this research has a limitation in samples and shows a period of 5 years in the three nations' trade barriers, continuous and complementary researches are necessary in order to develop certain objectivity.

With the recent progress of the 4th industrial revolution, the logistics industry is also making efforts to introduce smart logistics, and various attempts are being made to spread logistics informatization, which is the core of smart logistics. Among these, blockchain technology is considered as a technology that will contribute to the spread of logistics informatization and is being applied to various fields. Accordingly, in this study, to discuss the applicability of blockchain technology to the logistics industry, the characteristics of blockchain technology were defined, related cases were reviewed, and a survey was conducted on the possibility of application in the industry. Blockchain technology can be defined as having the characteristics of economic feasibility, speed, transparency in terms of work efficiency, and scalability, decentralization (decentralization), reliability (security) in terms of added value creation. It was confirmed that many are being introduced in the fields of distribution, finance, personal information, and public services. As a result of the survey on the logistics industry, it was confirmed that the level of informatization of the logistics industry had entered the stage of generating profits by using information, but the industry was passive in sharing and utilizing information due to concerns about information leakage. Nevertheless, the awareness and expectation of the need for informatization is high, and it is expected that the informatization of the logistics industry and realizing smart logistics based on it will advance one step further with the introduction of blockchain technology in the future.

A research on logistics cost needs a great deal of effort to calculate logistics cost and analyze its characteristics due to the complexity of logistics cost components. For this reason, the logistics cost is generally calculated based on the government level analysis. However, the standards for calculating logistics cost have not been obvious so far. Furthermore, it is true that it takes a long time and a lot of money to evaluate the percentage of each logistics cost component. The expansion of SCM entities has diversified the factors determining the logistics cost and the change of business environment has had an effect on the components of logistics costs. Therefore, in order to research on logistics cost, it is needed to focused on not only the segmentation of logistics cost components but also on their characteristics, and to separate the former from the latter. That is because the logistics cost components or the characteristics of these components depend on the current situation and conditions of companies. In addition, a strategy to reduce the components of logistics costs such as the transport cost and the storage cost without analyzing the characteristics and causes of the logistics cost could be an alternative unsuitable for the current status of companies concerned. In conclusion, this study was aimed at investigating the factors which are required to fundamentally assume and consider in an effort to calculate and reduce logistics cost based on analyzing the characteristics of logistics cost components.

A new logistics concept is needed through the sharing information between suppliers and consumers, which maximizes the customers service and its flexibility by changing functional- oriented to process-oriented. As in many other industries, communication and data manipulation technology have led to systematical change to the logistics industry. One of the biggest changes of the industry that lies ahead is Consolidated Transportation. To improve this systematically false logistical environment, developing an integrated logistics information system with consolidated transportation, framework, standardization, and data integration is essential. However, no party outstands as the leading party for nationwide improvement of logistics, nor does the right analysis and design for it. Therefore, successful nationwide logistics model is yet to exist. This paper provides individual parties, which consider efficient consolidated transportation as their business models, with instructions for logistics information system so that they could be competitive in the market. It also helps companies collect user requirements for efficient consolidated transportation, and utilize it for its development. Finally, this paper extracts the design of algorithm for the efficient consolidated transportation.

In recent years, market access is expected to become more important in logistics location selection. In addition, it is necessary to support logistics functions for small and medium-sized enterprises. In this study, we propose a location suitability evaluation system for public rental logistics spaces. The location selection and evaluation system of the public rental logistics space proposed in this study is composed of large (5), medium (10), and small (20) indicators. The 1^st class were five factors: market factors, economic factors, transportation factors, site factors, policy and social factors, and the 2^nd classifications per the 1^st class, and the 3^rd class for each 2^nd class. After deriving the relative importance of each indicator through AHP for experts, it was verified by utilizing GIS analysis for virtual candidates in the metropolitan area. As a result of the trial application, it was evaluated that it could be applied with realistic results. In addition, it was confirmed that it is possible to apply evaluation indicators using spatial data constructed in Korea, and to use the evaluation indicators, it is necessary to perform various spatial analysis and processing tasks on raw data.
