Seo's Role in Logistics Standardization Recognized

Contribution to standardizing logistics, saving 5.5 tln won in costs brings honor to logistics expert

President Seo Byung-ryun won the Industrial Citation award from the Korea Standard Association for his contribution to the standardization of logistics activities with his creative initiations and actions to back them up through his 23 years of service in the logistics industry.
Based on his belief that the standardization of containers and palette should be jointly made, he has been supplying T-11 standard palettes steadily and as a result, from 1990 to 2007, savings of logistics cost soared to 5.5 trillion won in the country.
The recipient of the citation was also credited with making contributions to the creation of standard pallet and the transportation system for farm produce by containers, leading to the standardization of logistics system for farm produce and advanced logistics system.
Such great results were possible due to Seo submitting the proposal for making standard pallet revision when he was a member of the ISO Pallet Committee in 1995 to the ISO 6780 Pallet Standard Revision Working Committee. He submitted Korea's 1,100 x 1,100 mm standard pallet for adoption as the global standard to the committee, which has become a base for the Korean standard playing a central role in the global logistics industry.
The T-11 pallet standard, largely copying the Korean pallet standard became the single international standard pallet in the Asia-Pacific region on Aug. 26, 2003 thanks to Seo's submission of the Korean standard pallet to the pallet standard revision working committee in 1995.
President Seo is past chairman of the Asia-Pacific Logistics Federation, the 5th and 6th, and currently is chairman of the Korea Logistics Association and at the same time, chairman of the Asia Pallet System Federation, continuing to make contributions to the development of the domestic logistics and pallet in a variety of ways, as a leader of the standardization of Asian logistics.
Seo has been doing a great job in the logistics standard take a deep root in the country, building a nationwide network with some 60,000 companies using the network, which includes 45 logistics centers, 8.5 million containers and 7.6 million pallets following his role in building the container pallet system in Asia based on T-11 standard container and standard pallet in such Asian countries as Korea, Japan and China. nw
