Abstract:The logistics outsourcing, applied as one of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices, has proven to be effective for building competitive advantages within organizations. The academic literature has contributed to this initiative especially relating its concepts with Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Resource-Based View (RBV) theories. However, few papers discussed the effectiveness on the implementation of the partnership, in other words, the moment in which the partnership begins to work in practice. Through an exploratory study, this paper proposes a systematization of logistics outsourcing implementation. The proposition is based on Project Management knowledge and improved by a verification process conducted through interviews with professionals who have gone through or are going through the transfer of logistics processes in their respective businesses. The results indicate that the proposed systematization is applicable in the corporate environment, especially to aid the understanding of the involved professionals regarding the necessary work to be done.
