Plant location selection is a decision which requires huge investment and entails a significant impact in a longer-term. The petrochemical industry, in particular, is so capital- and technology-intensive that the firms in the industry pursue enhancing competitiveness through collaboration and integration among entities in their supply chains. Even though the logistics factor such as logistics costs and connectivity have, as a result, gained its importance in plant location decision making, this has rarely studies in empirical studies. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relative importance of the logistics factor in plant location decision making in the petrochemical industry using the multi-criteria decision-making approach. In addition the three representative petrochemical industrial complexes are evaluated by the factors used in this study. This study is able to provide the useful implication in both practical and policy-making aspects. Firms are required to consider the logistics factors with priority compared to other factors in plant location decision making. In addition, when federal or local governments build industrial sites and attract the petrochemical firm, logistics infrastructure should also be considered to provide better transportation connectivity and lower logistics costs in turn.

최근 환율과 고유가.내수부진 등으로 위기에 처해 있는 중소 제조업체들에게 해외조달시장은 새로운 '블루오션' 시장이라는 측면에서 주목할 만하다. 시장규모 외에 최대 장점으로 일단 납품업체로 선정되면 장기간 물량공급이 보장되고 수출대금 결제가 확실하다는 것. 부가가치세가 환급되고 관세도 면제된다. 여기에 유엔본부 조달시장에 납품계약을 체결하면 제품의 신뢰성을 인정받아 연간 10억달러(2006년 기준)에 달하는 미국 조달시장 등 각국의 조달시장에도 진출할 수 있는 계기를 마련한다. 유엔 조달시장 규모는 2005년 기준으로 83억 달러에 달하지만 세계 11번째로 많은 분담금을 내고 있는 우리나라의 경우 국내 기업들의 진출 비중이 0.28% 수준에 머물러 있을 만큼 미개척지로 남아 있다. 유엔 조달시장은 국적 차별이 없이 전 세계를 대상으로 공개적인 입찰을 통해 우수한 공급업체를 발굴하는 데 주력하는 것을 고려한다면 국내 중소 수출업체가 높은 관심을 갖고 적극적으로 뛰어들 때 얼마든지 큰 성과를 얻을 수 있다.

Supply chain management for engineering project focuses on planning acquisitions, identifying and choosing the right suppliers and subcontractors, planning and negotiating appropriate contracts, and administering the collaboration with the suppliers and subcontractors. This paper aims to identify the determinants of SCM performance of the suppliers and subcontractors participating in the project-based supply chain. This study proposes the absorptive capacity, fairness of suppliers' evaluation, the quality of collaboration and incentives as major research variables, and collected the survey responses from the suppliers and subcontractors having experiences with major engineering projects. The statistical results indicate that the incentives, absorptive capacity and the quality of collaboration influence SCM performance of suppliers, and that the fairness of suppliers' evaluation has some impact on the incentives and the absorptive capacity. But on the contrary to our expectation, the incentives have no significant impact on the level of absorptive capacity.

This study analyzed large distributors' trade features with local suppliers and their direct purchase features through the survey and the interview targeting some MDs(Merchandisers) in large retailers responsible for buying fresh foods (agricultural, fishery, livestock and proceeded products). As the result of conducting the survey targeting the large purchase MDs, it was found that when they select local suppliers, they importantly consider the factors of stable products supply, the quality management, the aggressive management attitude, the affordable (cheap) price, and the suggestion of differentiated goods in order. Concerning their direct purchases in local places, their preference toward the direct-purchase traders were higher than that toward vendors and whole markets as their existing major traders. Among the traders for direct purchase, they preferred farm corporations (including agricultural corporations) the most, and followed the National Agricultural Cooperative, and the unit agricultural cooperative in order. Regarding to the trades with suppliers, when they set the trade price, the merchandisers (MDs) of large distributors preferred long-term trades over 2 years, and utilized the factors of market rate(50.9%), production cost(31.2%) and sale price in the same industry(18.0%). For the local distribution organizations to aggressively counteract the changes of distribution environment in the consumption places, it needs some strategies to organize the agricultural production, to expand the production size and to specialize the distribution channels. And the supply system's continuality and stability are required, so it needs to establish the counteract system enabling to supply all year round through the link of production organizations. Additionally, as an effort to intensify the market negotiation ability, it should collect various market information from the consumption places.
