The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the globalization
of Korean domestic third party logistics companies. This is
accomplished through a benchmarking model for globalization based
on a comparative analysis of domestic and global third party
logistics provider (3PLs) companies. The research performed a SWOT
analysis to indentify the capabilities required by Korean domestic
3PLs to become global 3PLs. The research investigated the following
areas: 1) global service, 2) infrastructure, 3) supply chain
management (SCM) services, and 4) information technology
(promptness, visibility). This was accomplished by an extensive
literature review, case analysis of logistics companies, and
telephone interviews with individuals in charge of logistics. Four
areas for improvement were identified: 1) Construction of SCM for
one-stop service, 2) Utilization of the advanced IT systems for
e-SCM, and consolidating communication network, 3) Expansion of
logistics infra-structure by analyzing each region of the world for
return on investment opportunities and competition, 4) Enlargement
of scale in which Korean 3PLs must enlarge their scale of
operations as soon as possible by strategic methods such as mergers
and acquisitions (M and A) with local companies. There is potential
growth for Korean 3PLs if they strive to enhance competitiveness as
noted above and have government supports. These improvement areas
provide a foundation for global competitiveness.
