중소 물류창고업의 WMS 도입&nbsp

Abstract

Korea's national competitiveness in logistics has been shrinking due to high cost in labor and service that accounts for a substantial proportion of the total logistical expense. Unlike any other advanced countries where 3rd party logistics (3PL) services are popularized, 1st party logistics (1PL) and 2nd party logistics (2PL) have come into wide use domestically.

Enterprises and shippers are now set to take action against such an old-fashioned service. Some enterprises have established a logistical division, which is installed with an advanced Warehouse Management System (WMS) and directly able to control the logistical flow. At the same time, the transition from 1PL/2PL to 3PL has been recently accelerated by the shippers to customize the supply chains and maximize the cost-efficiency.

However, while this trial is manageable on the enterprise side, small and medium-sized companies have difficulty in implementing a self-manageable system mostly due to limited capital and administrative capability

This thesis gives a case study of A company, as an example of a small and medium sized company managing its own WMS, and helps to understand how it satisfies the client's requirement and finds the best solution to the issues on 3PL.
