Activation plans of third party logistics for the effectiveness of commodity transactions

3PL in Korea was firstly introduced with the deregulation of transportation-related laws in 1988. After the IMF economic crisis, many business enterprises sought to outsource their logistics to logistic service provider in order to reduce their costs. 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 the 3PL as a way of focusing on the core-business. Most of Korean companies has outsourced simple and limited scope of 3PL services with 1st level of logistics oursourcing. To activate 3PL 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 professionals and to develope the latest technology. 3PL providers have to pursue effective logistics strategies and to invest capitals for the information technology.
