Plate glass products of South Korea have kept their high competitive edge in quality and stable supply, but these products are facing difficulties from the pressure of price increases due to the rising price of raw materials. Companies have to react to lower supply prices of competitive emerging nations while maintaining their high quality and stable supply. Logistical costs have a huge part in the market of processed plate glass compared to other industries, which calls for measures to make breakthrough logistics management plans and increase its competitiveness. Thus, this study proposes a way of simplifying the process of loading processed plate glass and improving vehicle loading rates with pallet racks instead of the A- or L-frame racks currently used in the circulation of plate glass in order to overcome the structural limitations of loading processed plate glass products. The study also proposed a plan for the minimization of logistical costs by low- ering empty transfer rates in returning vehicles through joint transportation and delivery among plate glass processing companies within the same zone and reducing the percentage of empty transfers in returning vehicles to the minimum through the handling of different types of products in different physical forms other than processed plate glass products.
