“…The B2B e-commerce logistics problem (ELP) is well explored in literature and involves, in general: setting logistics service prices, determining transportation and inventory decisions, integrating B2B e-commerce and logistics trading, as well as utilizing common protocols and shared logistics assets to improve profitability and market efficiency CHENG;HUANG, 2015).It is important to point out that the spread of online shopping has generated significant demand for dedicated delivery services to the end consumer, mainly in the case of physical goods (MORGANTI et al, 2014).…”

“…Meidutė-Kavaliauskienė, Aranskis, and Litvinenko (2014) analysed the concept of customer satisfaction and the understanding of service quality, specifically aiming at logistics service companies. Xu, Cheng, and Huang (2015) propose an efficient intermodal transportation auction that incorporate both intermodal service costs and transaction costs for the B2B e-commerce logistics problem (ELP). Burma (2015) studied the relations among population size, e-commerce sales penetration, income and logistic performance.…”

The performance of logistics becomes even more relevant in e-commerce, demanding high specialization. Considering the lack of instruments in the literature to assess the logistics system related to online shopping experience, the objective of this quantitative research was to develop and validate a rating scale of e-commerce. The results constitute a preliminary diagnosis that can support managers of electronic commerce to take better decisions related to logistics service level. It is important, considering that this type of decisions usually involves high amounts of money and not always the investments in logistics are perceived by customers. Besides, the rating scale of e-commerce considering logistics aspects, developed and validated in this research, can aid managers to design strategies and to take decisions that optimize the logistics activities and the shopping experience in e-commerce.

“…Sanchez et al (2003) claim that the costs are directly associated to process efficiency. In this sense, Xu et al (2015) draw attention to the integration of the logistics chain to facilitate its optimization and reduce costs. Graungaard Pedersen et al (2012) add that the centralized networks enable the efficient use of resources, such as inventory and labour, which according to Chen and Chen (2005) result in lower fixed costs and better adjustment of demand variation.…”

Logistics is an important area in the economic-financial performance of companies, which makes it necessary to analyse their costs, as well as the trade-offs between them. Thus, the present study, with the objective of analysing the Portuguese food sector logistic professionals' knowledge regarding to logistics costs trade-offs and their impact on the economic-financial performance of the organizations, showed that there are gaps concerning this subject. Throughout the structured interview and by using the SPSS software, the study shows the existence of flaws in the practical application of the trade-offs' theory, such as the pressure from the managers for individual cuts in costs; and points out trade-offs of logistical costs relevant to the food sector. These results contribute to the expansion of studies on the subject, besides providing a perspective of the compensatory exchanges that can contribute to the decision making in relation to the costs concerning logistics activities.

“…However, the rapid development of online shopping has brought serious challenges to logistics. For example, for online shopping logistics service enterprises, the problems of high logistics costs, low operation efficiency and low resources utilization are serious [2][3][4], and for end-customers, the timeliness and personalized needs of logistics distribution cannot be fully satisfied [2,5,6].…”

Abstract:With the globalization of online shopping, deterioration of the ecological environment and the increasing pressure of urban transportation, a novel logistics service mode-joint distribution (JD)-was developed. Selecting the optimal partner combination is important to ensure the joint distribution alliance (JDA) is sustainable and stable, taking into consideration conflicting criteria. In this paper, we present an integrated fuzzy entropy weight, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy EW-AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach to select the optimal partner combination of JDA. A three-phase approach is proposed. In the first phase, we identify partner combination evaluation criteria using an economy-society-environment-flexibility (ESEF) framework from a perspective that considers sustainability. In the second phase, the criteria weights and criteria combination performance of different partner combinations were calculated by using an integrated fuzzy EW-AHP approach considering the objective and subjective factors of experts. In the third phase, the JDA partner combinations are ranked by employing fuzzy TOPSIS approach. The sensitivity analysis is considered for the optimal partner combination. Taking JDA in Chongqing for example, the results indicate the alternative partner combination 3 (PC3) is always ranked first no matter how the criteria weights change. It is effective and robust to apply the integrated fuzzy EW-AHP and TOPSIS approach to the partner selection of JDA.Keywords: online shopping logistics; joint distribution (JD); partner combination selection; fuzzy entropy weight, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy EW-AHP); fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (fuzzy TOPSIS)
