초록
전자상거래가 활성화되어가고 있는 상황하에서 우리나라는 물류의 아웃소싱에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음에도 불구하고 국내 물류서비스를 담당하고 있는 제3자 물류업체는 규모가 영세하고 전문화된 활동영역이 미미하고, 화주기업의 경우에도 기업 내부정보의 유출과 통제력 약화 등을 우려하여 상호간 유기적 연계가 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 이에 따라 제3자 물류가 정착되기 위해서는 정부측면에서 불필요한 행정규제를 철폐하고 물류산업 활성활ㄹ 위한 특별법의 제정이 필요하고, 기업측면에서는 효율적인 물류전략 추진, 물류서비스 기반요소 확충, 물류업체 컨설팅 능력 확보, 정보기술에의 투자 등의 다각적인 전략이 요청된다.
The third party logistics(3PL) is generally understood as the logistics activities providing a comprehensive logistics services, all or partly outsourced by the customers on a larger term contract basis, ranging from making logistics strategies to implementing information technology services. A lot of companies in advanced countries such as the U.S.A. or some of the European countries have actively outsourced to logistics service providers in efforts to increase the efficiencies in logistics operation rather than doing themselves. In light of these environments, outsourcing to third parties has become a strategic issue demanding greater attention in corporate boardrooms. First, after deciding their logistics outsourcing, the companies have to set up their aims of 3PL through the development of logistical strategies. Second, the companies must decide service provider that fits to their business environment and conditions. As it is reported that 3PL services will bring a high rate of return and its potential will be more signigicant, providers and users of 3PL services and government ministry should prepare the way of improvement of logistics institution and plan to activate 3PL services to reach the advanced foreign countries level.
