The government of South Korea has introduced various security measures in the supply chain, such as CSI (including a 24-hour rule) and AEO (Authorized Economic Operator), in compliance with global security trends and the war on terror. However, many participants in the import and export process are still unfamiliar with the purposes and functions of CSI, the 24-hour rule, and AEO. As such, considering these risks as obstacles or as factors that interfere with the import and export process, this study suggests proper management schemes, which can identify, measure and evaluate these risks.

The trend of globalization and the development of the communication-Information technology have led the organization of a complex supply chains which are more vulnerable to risks. The impact of risk on the supply chain can be adverse so importance of risk management on a supply chain has increased. In order to analyze the risk factors of transport system, this study described about the definition of transport risk and investigated the relationship between likelihood index and effect index of each risk factor. We identified risk factors on transport system and measured likelihood index and effect index of each risk factor. Finally, a numerical risk index, which is a value of total transport system, has been resulted by aggregating all indices. In addition, a case study using the proposed method has done on a heavy vehicle transport context with a transport company.

The purpose of this study is evaluate factor for risk management of hazardous substance at ports. The analysis was conducted by applying Fuzzy-AHP methodology, through a questionnaire for hazardous substance experts from Busan, Gwangyang, Incheon, and Ulsan, which are the major Korean ports. Three measurement areas and nine sub-factors were selected for the study. The results of this analysis showed that "human resource management" (HR) was the most important factor (0.445) in the three measurement areas. After applying the conversion weight, the sub-factors were ranked according to their priority as follows: "a secure of administrator skill" (0.158) had the first rank, "an improvement in administrator duty" (0.150) had the second, and "consolidation of safety education" (0.136) had the third rank.

The aim of this study is to present the importance of Risk Management and Risk Classification System in Supply Chain to cope with the rapidly changing distribution environment flexibly through the cooperation between a shipper and a distribution company. First of all, we considered existing studies related to the risks of Supply Chain Risk and analyzed 47 different risk factors by 18 kinds of risk causing factors. Second, we collected opinions of corporation specialist group based on the analyzed risk factors and then classified the risk factors into three categories and ten sub-categories. Third, we conducted a survey targeting shipping companies and distribution companies about classified risk and then verified the validity of Supply Chain Risk Classification using verification techniques such as Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Concentration Validity and Distinction Validity. Finally, we suggest some implications based on the verification results.

For large-scale projects, supply chain management of construction materials is a key to a successful construction project. Inefficient management would cause significant loss in project cost, quality problems (and possible re-work), delayed delivery, claims, etc. On the other hand, efficient supply chain management system can reduce risks even the given project suffers from tricky details and frequent changes thanks to reduced material loss, shortened delivery time, and the quality outcome; this is a win-win situation for both clients and contractors. This paper presents a next-generation intelligent supply chain management system, which is intended to support large-scale construction projects such as urban high-rise buildings, as a strategic vision of the future construction logistics.

With globalization and the development of information and communication technology, the supply chain is becoming more widespread and complex, which increases the occurrence and damage caused by supply chain risks. Supply chain risk management has a great impact on corporate performance through the analysis of risk factors and proactive and strategic approaches. This study aims to analyze the effects of supply chain risk factors on risk management strategies and corporate performance empirically. In the research model for empirical analysis, supply chain risk factors were classified into supply, demand, operation, network, and external environment, while the risk management strategies were divided into active and passive strategies, as well as financial and operational performance for corporate performance. The data obtained via the questionnaire were analyzed for the path of the structural equation model. As a result of the analysis, companies are actively pursuing risk management for internal risk factors, rather than external factors, in terms of internal and external risk factors, and it was found that these strategies have a significant effect on corporate performance. Therefore, in the future, companies should conduct risk management strategies more proactively and preemptively through a thorough analysis of various risk factors affecting business operations.

This study gathered the factor of supply chain risk through literature review, and measured the importance of risk factors which have been recognized by domestic companies. This study has purposes and necessities as follows. First, supply risk factors were classified and explored through positive studies about supply chain risk. Most of previous studies helps grasping the meaning of supply chain risk but limited in conceptual side. Second, this study used AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method which makes decision-making problem classified, simplicated and systematized to evaluate the importance of supply-chain risk recognized by the companies. Finally, this study suggests registration-point in companies's efficient supply activity would be great by measuring the importance of supply-chain through AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process).

This study examines the factors influencing container shipping carrier selection among coastal shippers in China amid the pressing external challenges posed by the U.S.-China trade conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic, during a period when China is implementing policies to open its maritime market. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze survey data, the research identifies multi-modal transportation services, carrier operational capabilities, and logistics risk management as key determinants. Notably, salesperson professionalism, cargo safety, and fleet stability during peak periods emerged as critical factors for shippers. The disruptions caused by the trade conflict and the pandemic have heightened shippers' focus on risk management and transportation reliability, further emphasizing the importance of carrier service quality and operational capabilities. This study underscores the need for carriers to strengthen their risk management capacities and enhance service quality in response to shifting global conditions. Additionally, the findings suggest that policymakers should consider regulatory adjustments to mitigate uncertainties in the shipping industry. Future research should delve deeper into the long-term impacts of external shocks on carrier selection decisions.

This study aims to examine the status and problems of trade risk management of Korean companies in Incheon area trading with China and to suggest some improvement measures. On the survey with twenty five questions on company profiles, business process and transactions, claims and trade risks, etc. with Chinese trading partners, the following facts are found. In general, Chinese policies on foreign trade, finance, labour, investment, etc. and China's logistics system have caused great worries to Korean companies in Incheon area. This kind of risks from Chinese government policies and China's economic structure are beyond control of each company. Korean government should take more effective measures to negotiate with Chinese government. In the stage of contract, procurement and transportation, settlement, disputes resolution and etc. Korean companies in Incheon area also have many problems with relatively high risks with Chinese trading partners. Based on these survey results, some suggestions for better trade risk management are given.
