Abstract

In Korea, the parcel delivery service is showing a high growth rate every year thanks to the activation of e-commerce, but the courier unit price continues to drop. Due to the low cost of parcel delivery, there is a need for improvement to normalize courier rates due to deterioration in profitability for couriers, deterioration in service for consumers, and overwork and accidents for workers. In this study, a rational rate system model and a systematic approach were presented. The study method modeled the chargeable weight by reflecting the voulumatirc weight and revenue ton by the volume and weight of the cargo, and presented a new parcel freight charge model based on the cost of delivery. In addition, a rate-determining support system was developed that can be easily, conveniently and reasonably determined on-site. In the demonstration, the rate difference was determined by relying on weight rather than volume, and 63.5% for personal courier and 40% for B2C courier were found to be inadequate. This study could be used as an alternative to solving side effects and problems at the delivery site, in the urgent need for research on ways to improve delivery prices.

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.
