Functional Networking of Logistics Port Cities in Northeast Asia

The purpose of this paper is to show the comprehensive and cooperative development of logistics systems by the functional networking of port cities in Northeast Asia. Each nation in Northeast Asia makes an effort and contributes a vital role in the Northeast Asia Logistics Hub; however, it also makes it detrimental and unnecessary due to minor cases of redundancy. With this, the logistics system in Northeast Asia should be integrated as one nation for international competitiveness and to prevent unnecessary investments. Every port city has their strengths and weaknesses in the logistics system. As a result, this paper shows the allocation of logistics function for each city and their cooperative networking in logistics system vertically and horizontally. If each nation finds their appropriate role in the system and makes an efficient and cooperative functional networking, the logistics system in Northeast Asia can achieve common economic growth and international competitiveness.

Amorphous Metal Powder를 이용한 항만 물류 RFID 시스템용 전파흡수체 개발

본 논문에서는 항만 물류 시스템에서 사용하는 중심주파수 433 MHz에서 동작하는 전파흡수체를 설계 개발하였다. 먼저 자성손실 재료인 AMP (Amorphous Metal Powder)와 지지재인 CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene)를 이용하여 AMP:CPE의 조성비가 각각 80:20 wt.%와 85:15 wt.%의 전파흡수체 샘플을 제작한 후, 입력임피던스를 측정하여 샘플의 재료정수를 계산하고 시뮬레이션에 의하여 최적의 전파흡수체를 설계하였다. 그 결과 AMP:CPE=85:15 wt.% 의 조성비에 두께 5.5 mm일 때 최적의 전파흡수특성이 얻어짐을 확인하고, 실제 제작하여 측정한 결과 433 MHz 주파수대역에서 17.5 dB의 흡수능이 얻어졌으며, 이는 본 연구에서 목표로 하는 15 dB 보다 우수한 결과이다. In this paper, we developed an EM wave absorber having the absorption ability of more than 15 dB for port logistics RFID system by using AMP. Firstly, we fabricated EM wave absorber by using AMP and CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene) with different composition ratios 80:20 wt.% and 85:15 wt.%. Secondly, we designed the optimum EM wave absorber using the calculated material constants obtained from measured input impedance of the samples. Therefore, EM wave absorber with absorption ability of 17.5 dB at 433 MHz when composition ratio of AMP:CPE=85:15 wt.% and thickness of 5.5 mm.

港埠物流鏈顧客知覺價值、滿意度、信任、忠誠度關係研究

Stand on the viewpoint of port logistics, seaport plays a very important role in the intermodal transportation, in the same time it is also deemed to be the central of logistics in the carrying of goods and moving of tourists. The role of port is providing the customers a very high quality services. Many pundits point out that the customer perceived value include the quality of service and price, if the customer thinks that the quality of service is good, it means the customer satisfies. When the satisfaction of customer is high, then the port will be easier to gain the customer's trust. When the customer trusts the port, then the customer will repurchase, it means the customer has the loyalty to the port. The goal of the linkage port logistics in service is to aggregate the whole service procedure, the procedure of service to the customer is not individual, but providing the aggregated service. The goal of this research stands on the port logistics' viewpoint discusses the relationships among the customer perceived value, satisfaction, trust and loyalty. The result authenticated that the customer perceived value-satisfaction, customer satisfaction-trust, customer satisfaction-loyalty and trust-loyalty in the port service logistics chain all have the positive effect.

Port development: from gateways to logistics hubs

Since the UNCTAD three generation port development model was proposed in 1990, changes in technology, working practices and the commercial environment have led to tighter and more sophisticated linkages between service providers, facilitators, operators and end customers. This was explored in more detail in the WORKPORT model which highlighted the way in which ports and the services they provide develop in an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary way. The political dimension can also play a lead role in port evolutionary paths, as the port is often seen both as a vital part of the supply chain and as a natural focus for regional development and employment initiatives. Depending on the type and form of cargo, customer requirements and other factors such as the degree to which ports are tied to a particular distribution channel varies. Ports remain convenient stockholding locations but where they have been made more responsive is in tailoring services to individual customers’ needs, thus becoming more agile. The role of ports within the supply chain has taken several different forms and development paths. In the UK the early expression of port logistics was in the form of intermodal facilities linked to the railway network and with emphasis on transport rather than value addition. Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and P&O Roadways Container Logistics Containerbases are examples of these traditional and conservative forms of activity. European approaches have been somewhat different building on their advantage of high volumes and proximity to very large ports. The development of Distriparks and company specific facilities such as Districenters (Nedlloyd) are classic examples of landlord-tenant solutions often seen in continental Europe. Most recently there has been evidence of convergence between the UK and continental models. Associated British Ports (ABP), for example, launched their ABP Connect Division in 2001 aimed at offering Fourth Party Logistics services tailored to individual port customers’ needs. The prospective development of large distripark-style facilities in the UK, e.g. at Hull and London Gateway, represents the latest stage in the evolutionary role of ports in the logistics chain.

Port logistics platform integration in supply chain management

The theme of this study is to present a comprehensive theoretical analysis and conceptual foundation of the port logistics platform as it relates to supply chain management discipline using a system theory approach. In this research paper, three main systems were identified: namely port logistics system, multimodal transport system and information and communication system as a constituent of the port logistics platform. Each system is associated with a specific type of flow, and these systems are closely interrelated. In the meantime, supply chain management and port logistics platform are the main entities governing the port logistics integration processes. The result of the research shows that the port might be a functional element within the supply chains through adapting the system theory approach, in particular soft system methodology. In addition, the proposed framework in relation to the value migration construct provides a better understanding of the contemporary port logistics platform set-up and interrelationship. The theoretical and practical implications of this emerging phenomenon are also discussed in this study.

Towards a generic framework for the development of logistics in seaports: lessons from the Busan case

This paper presents a generic framework on port logistics development and its interaction with hinterland regions. Although earlier work on the topic (e.g. by Ferrari et al., 2006; Kuipers and Eenhuizen, 2004) offers valuable insights in the subject, it contains limitations in geographical applicability. Ports indeed face dissimilarities in, for instance, locational characteristics (a.o. distance from the sea and nautical accessibility) and hinterland connections. Only when a model for determining seaport-located logistics activities takes into account these issues of dissimilarity among ports, the framework could be applied to a variety of seaport ranges worldwide. In this paper we aim to provide a first version of such a framework. More particularly, by means of a survey conducted in the Port of Busan the shortcomings of traditional approaches are illustrated. We then propose a more encompassing model, which seems to explain fairly well the attractiveness of Busan in terms of logistics activities. This framework explicitly adds port and hinterland characteristics to the list of factors decisive in the choice of the location of logistics activities. Finally, we would like to remark that our research on this topic is still ongoing and results for surveys planned in New York and Antwerp will be reported in a later stage.

컨테이너터미널 트랜스퍼 크레인의 배정 및 이동경로 최적화 모델

최근 컨테이너터미널 간의 경쟁이 심화되면서 생산성 측면뿐 만 아니라 비용경제성 측면에도 관심이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 에너지 소모량 및 장비투입 규모가 큰 트랜스퍼 크레인 부문에 대한 비효율적인 작업요소가 컨테이너터미널 경쟁력 제고에 있어서 걸림돌이 되고 있으며 이에 대한 개선은 인적, 물적 운영비용의 절감과 함께 생산성의 향상에도 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 국토해양부 주관으로 진행 중인 'RFID를 활용한 RTLS 기반 항만물류효율화 사업'을 통하여 제공 가능한 컨테이너터미널 반 출입 대상 컨테이너의 시간적 가시성을 토대의 트랜스퍼 크레인의 배정 및 이동경로에 대한 클러스터링 기반 최적화모델을 제안하고 시뮬레이션 기법을 통하여 기대효과수준을 확인하였다. As the excessive competition between container terminals has been deepening, not only productivity, but also cost economic of the terminals has been raised. With regard to this, the competitiveness of the terminals is limited because of inefficiency operation of transfer crane(T/C) which needs large amount of energy consumption. Therefore, it is possible that the improvement in the T/C operation leads to saving cost for resources and energy as well as increasing the productivity of the terminals. This study provides 'the K-Means Clustering based Optimized Decision Model for Transfer Crane Operation', referring to 'RFID & RTLS based Port Logistics Initiative' of Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs and estimates the efficiency through simulating.

풀방식을 이용한 반출입계 EDI 모델 설계

Recently the trade patterns of the entire economy are rapidly changing on development of IT. The field of port logistics is enforcing a competitiveness through preliminary offer of information and a batch process for improving the structure of logistics management which is apparently high cost and the low efficiency since 1990. But a previous EDI is insufficient in process ability. Bemuse it costs for the purchasing and maintenance of the expensive communication devices which is operated on the VAN environment. A web based EDI operating on an open network environment is needed to improve these problems and to handle transaction efficiently among many and unauthorized personals. Therefore, this study is willing to present a new web based model of the pull process which extracts the data when the receiver is needed to improve the push process which is transmitting data unilaterally.

인천항만의 물류수준 평가 및 개선방안 도출에 관한 연구

인천항의 경우, 2006년도에는 1,373,873 TEU를 처리하여 전년대비 수출입 컨테이너 125%, 환적 컨테이너 198%라는 높은 성장률을 기록하였다. 이는 인천항과 상대적으로 인접한 중국의 효과가 크게 작용하였다고 판단되며, 향후 인천항의 여건이 좋아질수록 인천항을 이용하는 환적화물은 기존 예측된 증가율을 훨씬 상회하며 높아질 가능성이 크다. 그러나 인천항은 조수간만의 차이로 인한 접안시설의 이용불편과 CY의 용량부족 및 서비스 미흡, 창고와 야적장의 보관 및 장치요율의 불합리, 항만물류시스템과 배후수송체계의 비효율성 등의 구조적인 문제점 역시 가지고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 화주의 다양한 시대적 요구에 부응하고 비용을 절감하며 이를 통하여 국가의 경쟁력을 향상시키기 위해서 인천항만의 물류시스템을 점검하고, 시스템 수준을 평가해보는 것은 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구는 이런 관점에서 인천항의 항만물류시스템의 수준을 종합적인 관점에서 분석하고 다양한 정책대안을 제시하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. The aim of this paper is to establish the evaluation system of port logistics of Incheon using the QFD(Quality Function Deployment) model. The research methodology is consisted of four phases.

Finally, the sensitivity analysis will be performed and the degree of improving port logistics will be presented according to the rising the relevant factors.

최소비용 기반 글로벌 항만 물류네트워크 모델 구축

본 연구의 목적은 동아시아 지역을 중심으로 글로벌 항만 물류네트워크를 구축하여 우리나라의 새로운 항만정책을 제안하는 것에 있다. 이러한 항만 물류네트워크의 구축을 위해 세계 50위 항만 중 21개의 항만을 중심으로, 컨테이너 화물량과 기항지를 분석하여 EU, 북미를 연결시 최소 물류비용인 동아시아 지역의 4개의 대표항만을 추출하였다. 그 결과 동아시아에서는 싱가포르, 홍콩, 상하이, 부산항이 추출되었다. 따라서, 우리나라는 싱가포르, 홍콩, 상하이항에 해외 터미널을 운영하고 부산항과 연계하는 글로벌 항만 물류네트워크를 구축하여 안정적인 화물을 확보해야 한다. This study is aimed to contribute in establishing new port policy by research and analysis in design of global port logistics network in the East Asia region. In order to build such port logistics network, 21 ports located in East Asia among the world's 50th largest ports were selected in this study. Furthermore, the amount of container cargo and the ports of call were analyzed to categorize the subject ports in East Asia. Finally, this study tries to find economic network between the base port in East Asia, EU or North America and feeder ports in terms of logistics cost. As a result, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Busan ports were found as the representative ports in the East Asia that may connect North America and Europe with the minimum logistics expenses. Therefore, to maintain the stable cargo volume in ports, Korea should promote not only the overseas terminal operation which links to the Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai ports, but also establish the global port logistic network connecting the Busan port.
