Lot sizing and shipment scheduling are two interrelated decisions made by a manufacturing plant and a third-party logistics distribution center. This paper analyzes a dynamic inbound ordering problem and shipment problem with a freight container cost, in which the order size of multiple products and single container type are simultaneously considered. In the problem, each ordered product placed in a period is immediately shipped by some freight containers in the period, and the total freight cost is proportional to the number of containers employed. It is assumed that the load size of each product is equal and backlogging is not allowed. The objective of this study is to simultaneously determine the lot-sizes and the shipment schedule that minimize the total costs, which consist of production cost, inventory holding cost, and freight cost. Because the problem is NP-hard, we propose three meta-heuristic algorithms: a simulated annealing algorithm, a genetic algorithm, and a new population-based evolutionary meta-heuristic called self-evolution algorithm. The performance of the meta-heuristic algorithms is compared with a local search heuristic proposed by the previous paper in terms of the average deviation from the optimal solution in small size problems and the average deviation from the best one among the replications of the meta-heuristic algorithms in large size problems.

Recently much research efforts have focused on how to manage carbon emissions in logistics operations. This paper formulates a model to determine an optimal shipment size with aims to minimize the total cost consisting not only of inventory and transportation costs but also cost for carbon emissions. Unlike the literature assuming carbon emission factors as a given condition, we consider the emission factors as decision variables. It is allowed to make an investment in improving carbon emission factors. The optimal investment decision is shown to be of a threshold type with respect to unit investment costs. Moreover, the findings in this work provide insights on the various elements of the investment decision and their impacts.

Based on single-vendor single-buyer integrated production-inventory problem, a model considering freight costs discounts is suggested when the cargo capacity is constrained. With the cost function formulated, several properties of the model are derived and analyzed. An efficient algorithm to find solutions such as shipment lot size, number of shipments and number of full truckloads using properties derived is suggested. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the proposed solution procedures and to provide additional insights.

This paper develops an analytic model for minimizing the cost of distributing items by truck from one supplier to many customers under Milk run logistics strategy. The model derives formulas for not only inventory and transportation costs but also costs associated with carbon emission trading scheme. In addition, monetary investment for reducing carbon emissions is considered. We analyze how to determine optimal shipment size and carbon emission reduction investment. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effects of carbon emission trading scheme on the Milk run logistics strategy in terms of how much to reduce carbon emissions and/or inventory and transportation costs. We analytically show that it is possible to reduce carbon emissions while reducing inventory and transportation costs by introducing cap-and-trade carbon emission trading scheme under certain conditions.

The synchronization of production-delivery artivities is one of crucial factors to get competitive collaboration benefits between the manufacturer and the retailor(s). There were several researches to study on He optimal delivery policy to minimize the total cost of integrated system of both manufacturer and retailor(s). In this research, we investigate the joint optimal shipment policy in case that a manufacturer produces multiple products sharing a single production facility in the manufacturer side and retailor(s) deploys JIT delivery pattern with equal-size shipment policy. We formulate this problem as a form of 'Common Cycle Approach' in classical ELSP (Economic Lot Scheduling Problem) and provide simple optimal solution procedure.

Unlike most researches that focus on single manufacturer or single buyer, this research studies the cooperation policy for two participants of supply chain such as single vendor and single buyer. Especially, this paper deals with single vendor-single buyer integrated-production inventory problem. If the buyer orders products, then the vendor will start to make products and then the products will be shipped from the vendor to the buyer many times. The buyer is supposed to order again when the buyer's inventory level hits reorder point during the last shipment and this cycle keeps repeated. The buyer uses continuous review inventory policy and customer's demand is assumed to be probabilistic. The contribution of this paper is to present a mixed approach and derive its cost function. The existing policy assumes that the size of shipping batch from single vendor to single buyer is increasing, called Type 1, or constant, called Type 2. In mixed approach, the size of shipping batch is increasing at the beginning part of the cycle, and then its size is constant at the ending part of the cycle. The number of shipping for Type 1 and Type 2 in a cycle in mixed approach is determined to minimize total cost. The relationship between parameters, for example, the holding cost per product, the set up cost per order, and the shortage cost per item and decision variables such as order quantity, safety factor, the number of shipments, and shipment increasing factor is figured out via sensitivity analysis. Finally, it is statistically proved that the mixed approach is superior to the existing approaches.

본 연구에서는 표준통계분류체계 간 연계를 통해 산업 혹은 제품의 내수 시장규모를 추정하는 방법을 제안하고 실질적 활용 가능성을 타진하였다. 이를 위해 KSIC 분류로 조사된 통계청의 광업 제조업 조사 결과와 HS 분류로 조사된 무역데이터를 통계청과 UN 통계처에서 제공하는 연계표를 활용하여 연계하였다. KSIC-ISIC-HS 간 통합연계표를 이용하여 국내시장규모를 분석하는데 있어 가장 큰 문제는 분류체계 간 중복 연결 문제인데, 본 연구에서는 각 품목별 출하액과 무역액 사이에 강한 상관관계가 있음을 활용하여 출하액의 상대적인 비중을 가중치로 중복 연결된 HS 무역액을 배분하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 이용하면 제조업 분야의 총 125개 모든 ISIC 품목별 국내시장규모를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 미래의 단기 시장 규모를 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 ISIC 분류보다 세분화 된 품목에 대한 분석의 한계, 제조업 이외의 분야에 대한 적용 한계, 출하액 결측치로 인한 오차 등의 한계가 있으나, 내수 시장규모 정보를 가장 객관적이고 신뢰성 있으며 지속적으로 활용 가능한 데이터를 이용하여 분석 제공할 수 있는 방법을 제시한 점에 본 연구의 의의가 있다.

우리나라 화물수요분석모형의 기초자료로 활용되는 화물기종점통행량(O/D)과 화물네트워크 자료는 지난 10여 년 동안 개선되어 왔음에도 불구하고 아직 많은 한계를 지니고 있다. 주된 원인은 기존의 화물수요분석모형이 환적시설이나 물류시설을 별도의 노드로 구분하지 않는 통행기반모형이라는데 있다. 통행기반모형에서는 화물의 이동이나 화물 물동량의 전환관계 파악, 복합화물 교통망에서의 화물흐름 등을 제대로 반영하지 못하기 때문이다. 본 연구의 목적은 기업의 물류활동을 감안한 화물수요추정방법론을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로서 공급사슬기반의 화물유통경로 선택모형을 개발하는 것이다. 구체적으로는 유통경로의 물적흐름에 영향을 주는 선택요인과 화물유통경로의 수송사슬특성(Transport Chain Attributes) 즉, 운송수단, 운송시간, 운송비용, 운송량 등을 반영한 화물유통경로선택모형을 개발하고 이를 분석함으로써 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 석유화학제품과 자동차 및 자동차부품에 대한 유통경로조사 자료를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 운송비용, 운송시간, 운송량을 변수로 하는 다항 로짓모형이 가장 적합한 것으로 분석되었다. 선정된 모형에 의하면 석유화학제품과 자동차 및 자동차부품의 경우 취급하는 운송량이 많을수록 대형화물차 유통경로의 선택 효용이 큰 것으로 분석되었고, 중간지점경유형의유통경로보다는직접수송형의유통경로를선호하는것으로분석되었다. 또한 두 품목의 경우 대형화물차보다는 소형화물차를 이용하여 운송하는 품목특성을 보였다.

This study explores how to prevent the fraudulent export financing and its subsequent export insurance fraud in relation to O/A negotiation. Under the traditional letter of credit(L/C) transactions, the banks, as a negotiation bank, can extend trade financing to the exporters through negotiation of draft and/or shipping documents. Under the O/A transaction scheme, however, bank cannot ascertain existence of trade performance and it is much riskier to extend an advance financing to the exporters before the buyer sends confirmation of debt. In O/A negotiation. some exporters tried to fraud banks by falsifying the shipping documents and the size and gravity of this fraudulent export financing were huge. Therefore, this study examines the banking process in O/A-based trade financing, documents examination process, the negotiation of instruments, treatment of trade financing in export credit guarantee, most importantly, explores what could be the criteria for appropriate treatment of account receivable to insure the safe transfer of account receivable. To maximize the benefit for optimum trade financing, the Bank of Korea established several Trade Finance Rules (refers to "BOK Rules") requiring that commercial banks should maintain optimal credit limits(so called, 'the principle of optimal loan') to extend the trade finance. The K-sure post-shipment credit guarantee programs and short-term export insurance program(EFF)can also facilitate 'the principle of optimal loan' principle.
