Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine total logistics concept performed by 3^rd party logistics, managing with 4th party logistics to achieve more efficient and systematic dealing with sub-functions of physical distribution process. Research design and methodology - The research method to be adopted is first to review 3th party logistics providers that has attracted to various functions of 4PL, and then total logistics concept to be investigated which is related to 3 PL and 4 PL. Results - For the total logistics concept implemented by 3PL, management technique should be widen, then 3 PL's service activities and area should extend. Especially for the collaboration effects between the company and external organizations, it can be collaborated with some commitments in terms of their own independent activities, carrying on inherent functions by both 3PL and 4PL, pursuing total logistics concept. Conclusions - More areas of logistics service has been required by clients in the field, and service activities available is strongly related to roles of 3th party logistics providers as main player in logistics market. However, total logistics management is could be implemented by 3PL combining with various functions of logistics service offered by 4th logistics provider.

Logistics creates a boom in accordance with the recent new technique's development along with the recent RFID/USN of ubiquitous computing technique. The wave of 4PL(Fourth Party Logistics) that added the strategic consulting based on new IT techniques to logistics outsourcing through existing 3PL service with is a great issue. Moreover, the customer enterprises which contained manufacturers and distributors need the one stop service, therefore a method for effectively dealing with global logistics' environment changes is needed. Above all, a development of the 4PL system with RFID is very urgent. We developed the RFID u-4PL system progressed more than the present system, in which we applied many international standards. Finally, we constructed the web service based on Web 2.0 because of important condition of 4PL.

This paper analyses the effects of the increase of logistics outsourcing on the economy which are largely classified into three parts. The firm level and industry level are two among them which will be summarized below. The another is consumers level. On the fm level, the logistics outsourcing of a manufacturing firm not only helps to increase the efficiency of itself and but also confront the competitive environments by weakening the entry barriers, i.e., the emergence of contestable market. The reasons why the efficiency of the firm enhances are also largely divided into two parts. One is due to the reduction of inventory cost by replacing it by the information cost resulting from internet use. The other is owing to reducing the life cycle of production process by the emergence of virtual enterprises which are located in one point in De process of supply chain management. The weakening of entry barriers is directly affected by the drastic increase of internet users in twofold reasons: one is based on the restricted competitive characteristics due to the long-term transaction relationship between logistics providers and the companies who offer logistics services and the other, due to the weakening of the restriction of space and time. The effect of industry level is due to the transition of traditional to virtual vertical integration system The firms corresponding to a connection point in the process of supply chain management would try to realize both the scale of economy and the scope of economy for strengthening the competitiveness. We indicated above the emergence of contestable market however, it is a short-term phenomenon and result in the oligopoly market due to the entry barriers in the long-run sense.

In the military logistics, the Outsourcing such as 3PL (3rd Party Logistics) and 4PL has emerged recently as an important agenda. However, when 3PL applied prematurely, side effects will occur such as the loss of combat power in wartime, the security vulnerabilities and the high cost by a small amount of military order. Recently, the developed countries such as the United States and the Britain want to compensate for these side effects. Therefore, They are developing the private-public competitive sourcing concept for the complementary partnership and the foster competition with the private sector. To apply this concept to the Korean Military, they need to be reorganized and promote the efficiency in the military logistics. Especially, the transportation sector. Therefore, this study, which is focused on the transportation sector, offers two kinds of measures to improve such as the Dual Pallet Standard (T11, T12) and the PLS(Palletized Loading System) truck system. Finally, these improvements will be analyzed by the simulation in this paper.

Over the past decades the concept of Third-Party Logistics(TPL) has generated considerable interest in American and European industries. It involves outsourcing logistics activities that have traditionally been performed within an organization. The functions performed by the third-party logistics can encompass the entire logistics process or, more commonly, selected activities with that process. Increasing corporate emphasis on such concepts as reengineering and supply chain management has led many companies to consider the use of such third-party logistics. This study examines the possibility of applying existing American research of the third-party logistics to Korean companies and investigates the criteria for the use of third-party logistics in Korea. To design the model and generate the hypotheses, this study conducted a comprehensive literature survey on the third-party logistics. To test the hypotheses, this study collected data from 229 companies from the public companies in Korea through a questionnaire survey and conducted descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS for Windows Ver. 7.5 package. This study is hoped that it may contribute to the understanding and introducing of the third-party logistics in the fields of the firms. But there were some restrictions that the respondents were not covered all kinds of firms. These and other major findings from this study imply that existing American studies may be applicable the Korean companies and that this study may complement the deficiencies of the existing studies. Thus, the summary of the literature review, the research model and hypotheses, and empirical findings in this study will provide useful ideas for future research and deep insights for successful logistics management.

This study is to understand basic knowledge on e-logistics through the analysis of third party logistics(3PL) as well as fourth party logistics(4PL) and to suggest some activation plans of e-logistics of information era to get competition in the field of international logistics. Compared with advanced countries, Korean companies has not activated 3PL logistics as Korean companies are not inclined to open their business information to others and they didn't recognize the importance of logistics. As the business environments are worsening little by little, there has been greater concerns for e-logistics as a way of focusing on the core-business. Most of Korean companies has outsourced simple and limited scope of 3PL and 4PL services with 1st level of logistics outsourcing. To activate e-logistics, Korean government and private enterprises have to pursue the following strategies. First, Korean government should change the present laws preventing the enterprises specialized in 3PL from doing business and should pursue logistics information and standardization. Also the government needs to support 3PL companies. Second, private companies do their best to retain and develope factors of logistics resources professional and to develope the latest technology. 3PL providers have pursue effective logistics strategies and to invest capitals for the information technology.
