Due to the rapid increase in cyber shopping mall of agricultural products, the parcel delivery service industry also increased, making it necessary to design an optimum packaging for agricultural products. And Due to the recent increase in strawberry consumption, there is also a need for a packaging system for parcel delivery service. In order to establish the criteria for optimum cushioning packaging design of strawberries, the bioyield strength of strawberries by storage time was measured through the ASABE test standards, and the peak acceleration in the resonance frequency and resonance frequency bands of strawberries was measured through the vibration test regulated in the ASTM test specifications. Tray cup pad and corrugated fiberboard box of delivery strawberries were designed using FEM theoretical analysis of contact stress and resonant frequency. In addition, an optimum packaging system was developed with a cushioning and vibration design considering the impact characteristics when distributing agricultural products. Through the performance evaluation and on-site evaluation of the optimum packaging system of strawberries for parcel delivery service, the random PSD test results of the delivery showed a 74% reduction in the acceleration level, and the actual distribution test of the delivery showed that the damage rate of strawberries was not more than 6.7%, indicating that it was possible to use the optimum packaging of strawberries for delivery.

Parcel delivery services are a bit different from general vehicle routing problems since the services require a deliver's walking time to give the parcel to the customer. This time takes more than 1/4 of total delivery time, but it is ignored for the convenience of algorithm design in general. The walking time is too big to be ignored if we need to estimate necessary delivery time precisely as much as possible, or to design a heuristic with varying vehicle moving speeds in metropolitan area. For these reasons, the walking times are surveyed and analyzed to use on the design of VRP heuristic for parcel delivery services in this research.

This paper deals with how Korea Post establishes a nation wide network of the parcel warehouse & distribution centers(PWDC). The state-of-the-art of the parcel service business in Japan and U.S. are introduced for benchmarking purpose. Potential customers of the PWDC and their major goods are identified. Current major customers of the Korea Post were interviewed to figure out the potential demand of the PWDC service. Five-year volume estimation of the Korea Parcel Service(KPS) is presented based on the past 30-month B-C volume of the four major door-to-door delivery service companies in Korea. Yearly construction plan of the PWDCs is proposed; and the networking strategy of PWDC is discussed.

The wonderful new world of shopping - being able to order items you need by just one click. However, there is one factor that has not changed at all - customers, whether they are private individuals or public companies, want to have the product delivered to their address, and usually as fast as possible too. To achieve this, the operators of virtual shops must make use of a fully operational and efficient delivery service. The internet and its potential for creating a virtual market for millions of buyers and sellers, has generated a lot of excitement in the express delivery industry. Clearly e-commerce will cause greater growth in the business-to-residential package market. Korean express delivery industry is not an exception to this trend. Currently, while major three service providers enjoy a lion's share in Korea, a lot of small and medium companies are struggling to capture more shipments in express parcel market. Nevertheless, it will be forecasted that Korean parcel market will be consolidated and become an oligopoly market in the near future.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to improve last mile delivery capability and ensure customers' satisfaction by approaching an analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and identifying criteria framework to determine locations of last mile delivery centre(LMDC). Research design, data, and methodology - Traffic congestion and emission policy in cities are barriers of last mile delivery in dense areas. The urban consolidation centre(UCC) cannot increase last mile delivery efficiency in dense cities because of their space and traffic limitation. In this paper, we develop a case to improve last mile delivery efficiency and to ensure customers' satisfaction by concentrating on LMDC. In addition, AHP has been applied to identify criteria framework and determine LMDC locations. The weighted priorities are derived from parcel delivery industry experts and have been calculated using Expert Choice software. Results - The framework criteria have assisted decision makers to place LMDC in a dense area to enhance customer's satisfaction with last mile delivery service. Conclusions - AHP has provided ranking framework criteria of LMDC potential for parcel delivery industry. The LMDC helps by improving last mile delivery efficiency to final destination amids conditions of CO₂ emissions, traffic congestion, and pollution problems. It especially concerns delivery service activities when delivering parcels to customers rather than UCC.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to partition a last-mile delivery network into zones and to determine locations of last mile delivery centers (LMDCs) in Bangkok, Thailand. Research design, data, and methodology - As online shopping has become popular, parcel companies need to improve their delivery services as fast as possible. A network partition has been applied to evaluate suitable service areas by using METIS algorithm to solve this scenario and a facility location problem is used to address LMDC in a partitioned area. Research design, data, and methodology - Clustering and mixed integer programming algorithms are applied to partition the network and to locate facilities in the network. Results - Network partition improves last mile delivery service. METIS algorithm divided the area into 25 partitions by minimizing the inter-network links. To serve short-haul deliveries, this paper located 96 LMDCs in compact partitioning to satisfy customer demands. Conclusions -The computational results from the case study showed that the proposed two-phase algorithm with network partitioning and facility location can efficiently design a last-mile delivery network. It improves parcel delivery services when sending parcels to customers and reduces the overall delivery time. It is expected that the proposed two-phase approach can help parcel delivery companies minimize investment while providing faster delivery services.

본 온라인으로 구매한 물품을 택배 시스템으로 수령하는 경우에는 택배물품의 도난은 물론 강력 범죄로부터의 불안이 상존하고 있다. 기존에 설치되고 있는 Kiosk방식의 무인 택배함은 초기 설치의 과다투자와 운용상 관리 비용 그리고 일부 보안 측면에서 문제성을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Kiosk방식의 전용장비를 대체하는 방안으로 개인이 소지한 스마트폰을 이용하고 최대 64개의 택배함을 동시에 제어하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 무인 스마트 택배함의 시스템 개발에 대하여 기술한다. 또한 무선통신에서 취약한 보안을 강화하기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 아울러 설치자의 중앙 서버를 이용하여 택배물 관리 비용의 최소화하는 ICT 융복합 기술방안을 제시함으로써 비용절감 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

The amount of delivered parcels have been increasing according to the change and expansion of consumption pattern through e-commerce, and they are required to minimize breakout or failure under the delivery. In this study, we measured and analyzed the distribution environment data (vibration and impact) occurred in the packaging, which were prepared with 5 types by the weight and dimension, distributed from Seoul to Busan in Korea by 2 parcel delivery service companies through e-commerce order. Date showed the parcels had 3-5 times of drop impact and 0.3-0.7 m of drop height on average, and 0.8 Grms of vibration acceleration from equivalent equation to the vertical direction. The significant gap in service quality was not found between 2 parcel delivery service companies. This study is expected to be useful for designing the suitable packaging in order to enhance safe transportation of the delivered packaging, and furthermore useful for developing Korean testing method for Field-to-Lab simulation.

국내택배는 전자상거래 활성화에 힘입어 매년 높은 성장률을 보이는 반면, 택배단가는 계속 떨어지고 있다. 낮은 택배단가로 택배사에 수익성 악화는 물론 소비자에게는 서비스 저하, 종사자에게는 과로 및 사고 등을 초래하여 택배요금 정상화를 위한 개선이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 합리적인 요금체계 모델과 요금을 계산하는 시스템적인 접근방법을 제시하였다. 연구 방법은 화물의 부피와 무게로 부피중량(Voulumatirc Weight) 및 운임톤(Revenue Ton)을 반영하여 청구중량(Chargeable Weight)를 계산하고 택배원가을 토대로 새로운 택배요금 모델을 제시하였다. 또한 현장에서도 쉽고 편하고 합리적으로 요금을 결정할 수 있는 요금결정지원시스템을 개발하였다. 실증에서는 실제 거래되는 택배를 샘플링하여 요금차이를 검토한 결과, 부피보다는 중량에 의존하여 요금이 결정되고 있었으며 개인택배의 경우 63.5%, B2C택배의 경우 40%가 부적합으로 확인되었다. 택배현장에서 나타나는 부작용과 문제점을 해소하기 위한 대안으로 택배가격 개선방안 연구가 절실함에 이 연구가 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
