“…Articles of year 2006: • To Aguezzoul et al (2006), additional requirements are being placed on many industries and chains and previous selection decision methods do not support some needed factors, such as: price, services offered location, technology and quality between others. Authors address this problem in two steps.…”

There has been an increasing interest in third-party logistic (3PL) evaluation and selection methods lately. Proposed methods in academic literature have significant differences, approaches and conditions to be used, yet comprehensive reference of such methods was not found. This problem is considered in this article, which main goal is to make a descriptive analysis of existing methods for evaluation and selection of 3PL providers. A classification of methods is made using characteristics commonly highlighted in academic literature. This paper is an exploratory study and main expected result is a reference of current 3PL selection and evaluation researches. Most of the analyzed methods for 3PL selection and evaluation considered a mixed between qualitative and quantitative approaches and are not based in real cases. Descriptions of which method to use in each particular situation was not found.

“…In their model, decision-makers select the most suitable 3PL provider by the weights generated by AHP. Aguezzoul et al (2006) used the ELECTER approach to build a 3PL selection system. Min and Joo (2006) evaluated the operation efficiency of 3PL providers using five quantitative indexes, including operating income, accounts receivable, salaries and wages, operating expenses, property and equipment.…”

To provide selections of logistics outsourcing providers in a global supply chain, this paper proposes a decision support system (DSS), based on fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) and preemptive fuzzy integer goal programming (PFIGP). For decision-makers, a suitable method for selecting third-party logistics (3PL) is critical under the trends of globalization and specialization. The proposed DSS for 3PL provider selection takes into consideration flexible resource and interactions among providers. When applying multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) to selection of 3PL providers, it is difficult for decision-makers to determine the feasible solution domain under limited resources, especially if the decision problems are NP-complete. Moreover, traditional mathematical programming does not incorporate experts' evaluation of providers. This paper employs FANP to obtain experts' scores of the providers, and then integrates the scores into PFIGP to facilitate selection of a 3PL provider with flexible resources. Finally, this paper uses genetic algorithms to solve the PFIGP. An illustrative example is also given to demonstrate such DSS. The test result shows that the degree of providers' interaction affects the final weight of FANP.

Abstract. Contemporary third party logistics (3PL) companies tend to broaden their competences in different fields and apart from traditional logistics services provide various value-added services to their customers. An inductive analysis of 3PL related literature is required, in order to define possible directions for development of contemporary 3PL companies. The purpose of this paper is, foremost, to discover contemporary tendencies of 3PL activities through investigation of literature. Second, to systematically classify 3PL activities discussed in scientific literature. Third, discover areas that require further development. The paper is based on systematic review and classification of articles related to 3PL activities that were published in scientific journals and databases. This paper is organized as follows. First part contains quantitative analysis of literature and description of authors' developed directions of 3PL activities. Subsequent sections contain qualitative review of modern 3PL tendencies by each of pre-defined areas. Last section aims at providing conclusions and suggestions for further research. The key findings are following. Majority of studies of 3PL activities are based on particular business case or survey that does not allow to make conclusion about industry in general. Main emphasis in contemporary research is done on knowledge-based services. It is agreed that core logistics services are tended to be replaced by value-added services.
