In this paper, we propose "flexible routing with flex" to provide fast delivery by using the flexible routing for the delivery vehicle and crowd-shipper named flex. To this end, we have introduced an algorithm that can build the delivery plan for delivery vehicles and flexes. The introduced algorithm uses the 2-opt algorithm to construct routes with low complexity and acceptable quality, and the revised saving algorithm to assign customer orders to the flex. The algorithm allows the vehicle and the flex to function complement each other without separating the delivery vehicle from the flex. The experiments consider the 3 different instances named Random, Mixed, Cluster, and show that "the flexible routing with flex" has a better result than "vehicle only". The sensitivity analysis of the flex cost and time penalty shows "the flexible routing with flex" can provide better service not only to the customers who are serviced by flex but also to the customers who are serviced by the delivery vehicle.

TV와 인터넷을 통한 전자상거래가 급증하면서 택배 및 배송시장이 급격하게 성장하고 있으나, 효율적이지 못한 물류체계로 물류비 부담이 높아지고 있어서 실질적인 이익은 시장증가에 미치지 못하고 있다. 현재 전자상거래의 쟁점은 소핑몰의 유형문제와 택배시스템/유통구조의 문제로서 다양한 해결책이 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 직매입 형태로 마케팅과 직접 배송을 하는 회사를 대상으로 전자상거래의 특징인 촉진적 할인가격을 적용시키면서 기존의 중앙물류센터-지역물류센터-소비자 형태의 유통구조를 중앙물류센터-소비자로 변화시킨 지역물류센터의 일별재고량을 최소화 하는 모델을 제시하여 다단계 유통구조를 개선함으로써 회사의 이익을 증대시킬 수 있도록 하였다.

최근에는 비교적 상황이 나아졌지만, 한때 코로나19로 오프라인 매장에서 마스크를 쉽게 구할 수 없었다. 대신 마스크에 대한 수요와 '사회적 거리 두기'와 함께 온라인 구매가 급격히 증가했다. 온라인 구매가 갈수록 증가하고 있지만, 여전히 소비자는 각각의 홈페이지에서 배송상태를 확인하고 있다. 본 연구는 코로나19 후에도 활발히 이루어질 온라인 유통에 주목하면서, 종합적으로 소비자 개인이 자신이 주문한 상품을 조회하는 방안을 제시하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스마트폰 카메라로 명함을 찍어 비즈니스를 돕는 리맴버의 운영방식처럼 휴대폰 카메라로 명세서를 찍어 정보를 종합한 뒤, 자신의 소비량과 예상 배송기간을 바탕으로 상품 보유량을 확인하는 방법을 제안하였다.

The Korean pharmaceutical industry has many pharmaceutical companies and business acquaintances, small quantity batch production and a lot of competition products having same ingredient. Under such a situation, an integrated distribution is said to be proper to lower distribution costs and deliver effectively: However, each business has different delivery conditions, timely delivery of small quantity batch order and other particular services, etc to have problems of competition of turnover increase. The study suggests measures below to lower distribution costs and to elevate sales business efficiency. First, Joint marketing of pharmaceuticals between pharmaceutical companies. Second, Joint delivery of three or less companies having similar business scales. Third, An agreement with wholesale distributors of unified distribution of pharmaceuticals being sold much. Fourthly, Wholesale distributors' pharmaceuticals distribution services. Fifthly, Cooperation of business acquaintance. In summary, the Korean pharmaceutical industry needs an integrated distribution system. Considering characteristics of the industry, however, the small pharmaceutical companies are thought to be difficult to accept the integrated distribution because complete integrated distribution may reduce sales.

This paper provides a method to implement IT system for supply chain management problem The fundamental scheduling issues that arise in the pickup delivery system are optimizing the system with the minimum cost, the maximum throughput and the service level. This study is concerned with the development of the customer responsive pickup-delivery system based on e-logistics and demand chain management. Through this study, the pickup-delivery problem of the vehicle using the GIS PDP and GUI- type computer programs are formulated. The computational results show that the proposed method is very effective on a set of test problems.

Recently the telemedicine platform firms which have been temporarily permitted since COVID-19 outbreak have increasingly provided online prescription drugs delivery, causing concerns among incumbent providers of medicine, some of whom began to take aggressive actions again them. In this study, using game theoretic market entry - deterrence model, we show that although the incumbent medicine provider can effectively deter entry by the telemedicine platform firms by its preemptive action, accommodation could be a optimal action when telemedicine platform firms already have penetrated the market with their being permitted to do business due to the COVID-19. However, for the incumbent to cooperate for the successful change in the retail market for medicines, policies like placing a ceiling on the maximum number of taking prescriptions by the pharmacists a day in the telemedince platform network, providing favorable exposure of community pharmacists on the telemedicine platform user interface, and allowing community pharmacies to participate as shareholders of the telemedicine platform firms in its initial public opening of capital, are suggested.

This study is to verify the accommodation attitudes and intention of use of the end-users to use the drone distribution delivery service that is to be introduced in Korea. For a research purpose, the research model and hypothesis in this study have been set based on by using the SPSS 22.0. Upon these, the extended technology acceptance model has been used to verify the correlation service of new technology, and the result has shown that the user of drone distribution delivery service has a causal relationship with individual innovation and that the accommodation behavior and intention of use have a causal relationship with economic efficiency and convenience. However, there was no causal relation from a perceived risk. Hence, based on the results of study about accommodation behaviors and intention of use of the end users of drone distribution delivery service, the marketing implications have been provided for commercialization of drone delivery service.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sanitation management of school foodstuffs and the sanitation knowledge of delivery company workers. A questionnaire that identified employee's food safety sanitation management, knowledge, and practices was developed based on a review of the literature. The subjects consisted of 201 delivery company workers from 38 delivery companies in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk area. The workers were 30-39 years of age (41.3%) with 1-3 years of working experience (30.8%). Approximately 62% of the respondents were educated and had 1-2 years of food safety experience, 52.7% of the respondents delivered foodstuffs to two schools in the morning. The total score for delivery company worker sanitation knowledge was 3.75/7.00, which was low. The total mean sanitary performance score for factory workers was 4.58/5.00. They indicated that the most difficult part of the operation is delivering on time. Temperature management was another difficulty. In order to secure the best quality of school food to be supplied safely, the thorough sanitation education must be conducted to the school dieticians and delivery company managers.

For swiftness and economic feasibility of parcel delivery, optimal location of mail exchanging centers considering not only section delivery distance but also some weights like the number of delivery vehicles are necessary. In this paper, a mechanism with section delivery distance and vehicle number for locating of mail distribution centers which connect some mail centers of major cities in Republic Korea by applying GOSST theory is proposed. This mechanism for locating mail exchange centers can make the total delivery distance of postal matters less than not only present method which assigns Daejun as mail exchange center, but also Steiner tree method which does not consider weights like number of delivery vehicles. The mechanism is good for protecting the environment as well as rapid and economic delivery. In experiment, the proposed mechanism could curtail total delivery distance by 2.52 percentages compared with Steiner tree method and by 6.66 percentages compared with present method. The mechanism may be used in electric power transmission routing, distribution line topology design, power relay station locating where various voltages and other weights should be considered.
