Global Supply Chain Management

This chapter introduces the applications of collaborative transportation and consolidation management in global third-party logistics. These practices are driven by the quest to improve service and reduce cost simultaneously under an e-commerce model of global supply chain management. The detailed development and elements of collaborative transportation and consolidation models are discussed along with case illustrations. Furthermore, a quantitative model using mathematical programming is developed to examine various consolidation policies in a global third-party logistics provider. A case using collaborative consolidation management is presented, and the results show a 6.6% and 18.2% improvement for service and cost comparing with existing practice. The collaborative principles and developed consolidation model can be a useful reference for similar applications.

Chain Management

Many companies outsource their logistics functions to Third-Party Logistics providers (3PL) instead of achieving them internally. The studies on this field are mostly of empirical type and focused on reasons, benefits, and risks of working with 3PL as well as the role of those on supply chain management. This chapter focuses on 3PL selection problem and presents a literature analysis of 47 articles published within 2001-2011 period. The objective is to identify the mainly approaches applied and their evaluating criteria in measuring the performance of 3PL.
