Outsourcing reverse logistics of high-tech manufacturing firms by using a systematic decision-making approach: TFT-LCD sector in Taiwan

Purpose:Since the economic recession of 2008, logistics outsourcing decisions have become more prominent to avoid high fixed costs and heavy investment requirements and to achieve competitive advantages. The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight to the outsourcing decision-making through investigating if the old evaluation/selection criteria and methods still fit with current business priorities or not and therefore to identify the appropriate criteria and methods to develop a new selection framework.

“…Efendigil et al [40] proposed an integrated approach combining fuzzy AHP and ANN to evaluate and select the best third-party reverse logistics providers. In addition, Cheng and Lee [50] adopted the ANP approach to select the third-party reverse logistics providers for high-tech manufacturing in Taiwan. More recently, Ho et al [14] proposed an integrated approach, combining quality function deployment and the fuzzy AHP to evaluate and select the optimal 3PL providers.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we investigated a third-party logistics (3PL) provider evaluation problem considering social sustainability as one of the important evaluation criteria. Since the 3PL service is mainly dependent on both transport vehicles and employees, managing them from the viewpoint of social sustainability has become a critical issue. Thus, 3PL providers need to be concerned about not only the service price or quality but also issues related to social sustainability. In line with this trend, we defined the social sustainability of 3PL providers and related evaluation criteria. In addition, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used as a main evaluation framework to help decision-makers determine the relative importance of each criteria or alternative using linguistic terms. To show the feasibility of the proposed criteria and evaluation framework, we presented the illustrative example based on a real-world case. The results showed that the proposed approach could be a good alternative to conduct evaluations, and the related sensitivity analysis, considering social sustainability.

“…And because it is a matter of competitiveness, that decision becomes strategic for all logistics activities, including the RL. As pointed out by Cheng et Lee (2010), most studies in RL focuses on tactical and operational issues and very rarely address strategic level decisions.…”

Environmental issues have changed the behavior of society and, consequently, the business environment. This has narrow approach with Knowledge Management techniques (KM) to promote their processes. However, despite the increase in research in this field, there is still lack of further study in the KM interface and the business environment, as suggested by several researchers. This work, in particular, seeks to identify the main gaps in the literature involving KM and Reverse Logistics (LR), and proposes relevant studies and hitherto insufficiently treated in the literature. For this 8.682 references were analyzed and these only 37 deal with such interface. So this paper proposes 6 topics to be researched.Keywords: Knowledge Management; Reverse Logistics. ABSTRACTABEPRO
