Study on the Path of Three-Chain Integration of the Logistics Service Industry in Zhengzhou

To optimize the spatial layout of modern logistics services in Zhengzhou, build a driving mechanism for the professional development of logistics services, and promote logistics services to give full play to the driving force of coordinated development of regional economy, we must base ourselves on the logistics service industry chain, strengthen industrial innovation, value innovation and integration innovation, and realize the reconstruction of the value chain of logistics service industry. Based on the three-chain integration theory, this paper constructs a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model for the three-chain integration of logistics service industry, adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, evaluates the effect of the three-chain integration of logistics service industry in Zhengzhou, and aims at the problems existing in the process of three-chain integration, such as lack of systematic planning, weak competitiveness, and low profitability. Measures such as improving fiscal and tax incentives, clarifying strategic positioning, overall planning of industry layout, strengthening innovation, and integrating new driving forces for the development of logistics service industry will further promote the in-depth integration of logistics service industry chain, value chain, and innovation chain in Zhengzhou.

Structural and logical model of transport cluster

Background: Transport clustering, being a cooperation of enterprises of the same territory to consolidate resources to improve the quality of transport and logistics services, to improve the quality of infrastructure, to ensure the growth of transport accessibility of the territory, is one of the drivers of economic growth of the territory. Therefore, the question of forming a mechanism for creating a transport cluster (TС) is relevant, the first stage of which is the TLC model. Aim: creation of a structural and logical model of a transport and logistics cluster, the implementation of which will allow the creation of a TC in any territory with a high transport and transit potential. Methods: Based on the research, generalization and analysis of the works of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of transport clustering and regulations, laws and strategic documents, the definitions of the concepts of the components of the TLC were clarified, the main and auxiliary participants of the cluster were identified, their functional relationships were identified, the requirements for the infrastructure of the TC were determined, the effect of the activity of the TC for the participants and for the territory on which the cluster is located was revealed. Results: The result of the study is a structural and logical model of the transport cluster. Conclusions: The obtained structural and logical model of the transport cluster allows the development of transport clustering in the Russian Federation, since it is a universal tool for creating a TC for any territory with a high transport and transit potential

DEVELOPING QUALITY STRATEGIES OF LOGISTICS CUSTOMER SERVICE

Today’s requirements for the implementation of logistics activities require the formation and revision of appropriate strategies. The article considers the practical and theoretical experience of developing strategies for logistic activity and logistics consumer service. The strategy of quality of logistics customer service is implemented in the management of logistics business processes of the enterprise and is a set of solutions, plans and measures aimed at continuous improvement and ensuring effective organized activities of staff in a certain material environment related to offering and providing logistics services that meet specific needs and requirements of customers. When forming quality strategies of logistics services, special attention should be paid to the culture of quality (formation of the worldview of the whole team in the field of quality – motivating each employee to acquire new knowledge and skills) and business culture of logistics. The latter acts as a certain unity of interests of all groups of persons interested in logistics processes; provided with appropriate ways of making management decisions, etc. The article proposes an approach to the formation of logistics service quality strategies, which is based on determining the levels of efficiency, effectiveness and adaptability of logistics customer service, and involves the development and selection of options for appropriate alternative solutions. The following strategies are determined as typical: strategy of logistics outsourcing, concentrated improvement, reengineering of the logistics service process, purposeful quality improvement, application of “kaizen” technologies, minimization of logistics costs, quality management, continuous improvement of the quality of logistics services. The choice of priority alternative solutions is based on the maximum values of their integrated assessment, taking into account the importance of implementing a particular strategy.

Application of Sustainable City Logistics in Saudi Arabia

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has advantages in trade and logistics services that other countries do not have.

Study of the Logistics Service Providers Performance in Moroccan Agricultural Sector

The main objective of this paper is to study the situation of LSP operating in the agricultural sector which is a key sector for the Moroccan economy. This study will help contractors to make a correct decision concerning the choice of a performing LSP in the agricultural sector, while providing a multi-criteria decision method (MCDM): fuzzy AHP. Nowadays the expansion in terms of service has become crucial for any implementation of a successful outsourcing strategy and to attract and convince contractors through well adapted services, furthermore, the diversity in terms of the offer made by the LSP and the competitiveness between them made the task of the contractors complicated. This paper intended to provide an exploratory study grouping, on the one hand, the various Moroccan LSP and the level of their service offered in logistics services in the agriculture field, and on the other hand, the different criteria that influence the choice of those LSP. As a result, a proposal of an MCDM is established. The objective is to provide the contractors with a decision-making tool for selecting suitable LSP to collaborate with and evaluating the outsourcing performance.

Sustainability and Competitiveness of Logistics Services Providers in Indonesia

With the rise of competition and challenges for Logistics Service Providers (LSP) in Indonesia, competitiveness and sustainability are needed. The research explored the logistical process and identified the factors that built the competitiveness of LSP, such as Third-Party Logistics (3PL) in Indonesia. The research also identified the factors and relationships of their competitiveness and sustainability. The research methodology was explorative with the qualitative-observation approach. The applied sampling technique was purposive and snowball. The participants were 10 LSP operating in Indonesia: Kühne + Nagel, FedEx, Damco, DB Schenker, APL Logistics, Panalpina, Agility Logistics, TNT Express, Röhlig Logistic, and Rhenus Logistic. The data were unstructured interviews with 10 middle managers with the job position of leader and manager. Then, the data were analyzed using NVivo 10 software. The result is the recommendation of the competitiveness model for 3PL that the providers can apply to achieve its sustainability. Moreover, the factors that drive the competitiveness of LSP are price, service, people, and network. Meanwhile, innovation and credibility will improve competitiveness toward sustainability of 3PL. Based on the findings, it can offer opportunities for further research on the relationship and influence of these variables on other similar companies in other countries.
