In this paper, we present a dynamic matching methodology for the logistics brokerage agent that intermediates empty vehicles and freights registered to the logistics e-marketplace by car owners and shippers. In this matching methodology, two types of decisions should be made: one is when to match freights and vehicles and the other is how to match freights and vehicles at that time. We propose three strategies for deciding when to match, i.e. real time matching (RTM), periodic matching (PM), and fixed matching (FM) and use Hungarian method for solving tho how-to-match problem. In order to compare the performance of the when-to-match strategies, computational experiments are done and the results show that the waiting-and matching strategies, PM and FM, give better performance than real time matching strategy, RTM. We can expect that the suggested matching methodology may be used as an efficient and affective tool for the brokerage agent in the logistics e-marketplaces

This paper proposes an e-logistics system supporting efficient vehicle moving trajectory management. Recent advances in wireless communications have given rise to a number of location-based services including logistics vehicle tracking, cellular phone user's location finding, and location-based commerce. Logistics systems typically entail tracking vehicles for purposes of the logistics center knowing the whereabouts of the vehicles and/or consignments. Moreover, storing and managing location trajectory of continuously moving vehicles and consignments is necessary for supporting efficient logistics plan and consignment. The proposed system is able to manage spatial objects in GIS as well as logistic information in the mobile environment. And for the efficiently managing and retrieving of transporting trajectory of logistics, we extend previous moving object indexing method, TB-Tree, to use multi-version framework and evaluate data updating performance. It is able to apply the proposed method to develop mobile contents services based on continuously changing location of moving object in the mobile environment.

In the past two decades, due to the rapid fluctuations in the oil supply and demand in Northeast Asia as well as a surge in oil prices in the early 2000s, Korea has been developing the Northeast Asia Oil Hub project as a national project. This project was promoted based on the policy consideration that the nation's energy security and regional development can be promoted by establishing an oil hub in Northeast Asia that can eventually replace Singapore as East Asia's oil logistics hub. Following the construction of a large-scale oil storage facility in Yeosu in 2013, the main project in Ulsan has suffered many difficulties due to environmental changes such as the supply and demand of oil and political factors. The survey, which investigated the performance, problems, and prospects of the oil hub project, illustrates that scores of all sectors are of average level. In terms of performance and prospects, policies such as facility investment, law, and system improvement were determined to be rather high while operational areas such as value-added activities, profitability, and marketing activities were perceived as having more serious problems by respondents. In conclusion, despite the strong potential of Korea's oil hub based on its geographical location, facilities, and oil product capacity, there are problems related to policies, institutions, and investment. In the future, the oil hub business should be reviewed by considering environmental factors, and a drastic improvement plan for attracting foreign investors and oil traders should be established.

Although the outsourcing of logistics is one of the most widely discussed contemporary topics in the field of business logistics, efforts to organize them in an integrated broad-based body of knowledge have so far been rather limited. In order to develop and implement the outsourcing of logistics effectively and efficiently, this paper presents the procedure for establishment of outsourcing logistics systems. Several case studies including 7 firms from X Group in glass manufacturing industry and 1 firm from Y Group in chemical industry, respectively are introduced to determine the benefits of outsourcing according to some criteria, such as performance evaluation of before-outsourcing and after-outsourcing logistics.

Temperature adaptability is an important metric for evaluating the performance of an optical system. The temperature characteristics of the optical system are closely related to the material and shape of its lens. In this paper, we establish a mathematical model relating the temperature characteristics to the shape and material of the lens. Then a novel assembly structure that can solve the lens constraint and positioning problem is proposed. From those basics, the correctness of the theoretical model and the effectiveness of the assembly structure are verified through simulated analysis of the imaging quality of the optical system, whose operating temperature range is $-60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$.

Compared with land logistics and sea logistics, air logistics takes not only less transportation time, but also makes just-in-time delivery possible. Because of this, in spite of high freight rates, many shippers make good use of airlines. To cope with borderless competition in this global age, most shippers using air logistics want to receive diverse information including just-in-time cargo delivery and dangerous situation as well as convenience and speed in job handling. Nevertheless, most domestic forwarders, who perform many kinds of important businesses for air logistics, mainly put emphasis on demanding information from overseas partners through their business agreements, that is, focusing on horizontal integration, instead of sharing information or improving job performance among air logistics participants. As a result, it is almost impossible to satisfy the needs of shippers. Airline users want to remove the uncertainties over their cargo movement. And in time of emergency, they want to take immediate measures through speedy information sharing and decision-making. In order to satisfy shipper's needs, all the organizations participating in the air logistics supply chain-cargo senders, cargo receivers, forwarders, transporters, licensed customs brokers, airlines as well as foreign partners-have to set up a vertical cooperation system. For effective air logistics SCM, it is very important to remove overlapping jobs, strengthen the efficiency of job handling, and provide online monitoring on cargo information in order to support decision-making. To this end, this paper has applied the concept of RTE (Real Time Enterprise), a new business management system, which tries to maximize competitiveness by removing many hindrance factors on an ongoing basis in managing and fulfilling core business processes based on up-to-the-minute information. In order to realize RTE-based information system for air logistics SCM, this paper has analyzed the information required by business process and by air logistics participant, and suggested the method for information sharing, point of time for information input and output, and its means.

Purpose - This paper has an objective to suggest reasonable criteria in choosing Incoterms 2020 rules for efficient and effective logistics management in that the Incoterms rules affect not only the rights and obligations of the parties to the sales contract but also the control and management of logistics system and transaction costs in the transaction. Design/methodology - An analysis of the various factors is needed to assess the positive or negative impact on global value chain in choosing Incoterms rules from a total logistics view. This study analyzes the impact of which the content of individual incoterms rules can have on the operation of international logistics systems under the global value chain from a strategic perspective to suggest reasonable criteria for selection of Incoterms rules depending on the transaction situation. Findings - Results of this study shows that consideration of various aspects which includes the characteristics of the products, logistics capabilities, infrastructure, transaction volume, operational cost, customs regulations, tax and accounting should be reflected in choosing the appropriate Incoterms rules. Therefore, in order to minimize the total cost and improve logistics performance, it may be helpful to develop a decision support model which allows users to select appropriate Incoterms rules based on various influencing factors. Originality/value - This Study is different from previous research which has mainly focused on the rights and obligations of the parties to the transaction regarding the transfer of risks and costs under the Incoterms. In addition, this study has significance in that it provides implications for export and import companies that can be able to use Incoterms as a strategic tool to efficiently manage the global value chain and improve supply chain performance.

The objective of this study is to verify the effect of the market orientation, CEO capacity, and environmental characteristics of overseas markets on the performance of overseas expansion among the success factors of domestic overseas expansion companies. For this purpose, employees of domestic overseas companies based in the Seoul metropolitan area were surveyed, and the hypothesis test was conducted. As a result of the verification, among the contributors to overseas advancement of domestic overseas companies, the factors of CEO capacity, overseas business_education ability, market environment and market size have a significant positive effect on the financial performance of overseas expansion. However, market-oriented factors were found to have no significant effect on the financial performance of overseas expansion. Among the contributors to overseas advancement of domestic overseas companies, the market-oriented factor, the customer-oriented factor, has a significant positive effect on the non-financial performance of overseas expansion. However, factors in CEO competency and environmental characteristics in overseas markets do not have a significant positive effect on the non-financial performance of overseas expansion.
