Customer demand is rising as services competition becomes more intense among logistics companies. Some large companies provide total logistics services, but most logistics companies provide total logistics services in cooperation with other companies. Therefore, supply chain competition is becoming more important than competition among logistics providers. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of logistics cooperation and supply chain competence on logistics performance. In this study, we conducted a literature review to identify the key factors that logistics companies consider important, and establish a conceptual research model. A survey was conducted on 286 logistics companies in Korea, and hypotheses were verified based on the structural equation model. The hypotheses test results are as follows. First, logistics cooperation had a significant effect on supply chain competence and logistics performance. Second, logistics performance improves when supply chain competence is strengthened. Third, higher level logistics expertise resulted in greater logistics cooperation effects on logistics performance.

In today's highly competitive business environment, most companies try to manage their logistics function strategically to satisfy their orders as cost-effectively as possible and maximize their present and future profits. In this environment, logistics process visibility is essential to companies wishing to competently track components, parts, or products in transit from the original suppliers to the final destinations. Thus, it is important to provide instantly and easily recognizable information about such visibility to all stakeholders, especially customers. To ensure a high-level geographical visibility of the logistics processes, in this paper, we propose a way of implementing a GIS-based logistics process monitoring environment and of integrating a performer's work processing environment on the monitoring system. Additionally, to provide more abundant monitoring information, we describe a procedure for creating and processing various monitoring information, which are represented as ECA rules in this work processing environment. Therefore, it is possible to provide intuitive and visible monitoring information regarding the logistics process and resource elements.
