“…We found five papers that applied the second classification, with a focus on service innovation [7,17,27,32,37]. None of the papers in this review explicitly applied the third classification, which may be explained by the fact that logistics innovation tends to adopt existing innovation rather than radically generating anything completely new or disruptive to existing models [18].…”

“…Tsai and Tang [57] suggest that RFID adoption has positive effects on business practices, which in turn, improve operational performance in terms of reducing tracking costs, expanding current markets, entering into new markets competitively and improving the value chain system. Shi et al [37] find that companies are increasingly using 3PL to provide innovative value-added services (e.g., logistics IT, supply chain financing and procurement) and the adoption of the third-party procurement service provided by 3PLs generates mutual benefits for both 3PL providers and users. Finally, Zhang et al [61] suggest that the adoption of the Internet, the product-service system and cloud computing could enhance the logistics operation performance, decrease costs and reduce environmental pollution.…”

Innovation is vital for the logistics industry. This paper develops a Daoism-based conceptual model for logistics innovation in China. It identifies research gaps in this area and provides directions for future research. Following a content-based literature review methodology, 45 studies were selected. We identified five research themes: interpretation of logistics innovation; Chinese institutional environment for logistics innovation; innovation generation; innovation adoption; and innovation capability. We integrate the process view and outcome view of logistics innovation and propose that logistics capability, as an innovation outcome, is reflected and measured by innovation generation and adoption. This study is probably one of the first conceptual development papers on logistics innovation in China, providing a model for innovation within this context. It provides new avenues of research in this emerging, albeit important, area of research. Our conceptual framework utilizes Chinese Daoism philosophical thinking to provide a new lens for logistics innovation that is sensitive to the cultural environment.

“…There are several advantages and disadvantages of 3PL in accordance with Table 1. The benefits of using 3PL can produce important benefits such as being able to reduce logistics costs, make fixed logistics assets, improve order fulfillment, shorten the average order cycle time and shorten the financial cycle [10]. Transportation and warehousing services are the top candidates in the function of third-party logistics, which are two important functions in logistics [11].…”

Current logistics developments affect a process in any company using third party logistics. Third party logistics is a distribution service, warehousing carried out by third parties (outsourcing). Third party logistics in its business practices has been owned by many parties. PT Z is one of the companies engaged in the cement industry which has a lot of cooperation with third party logistics. PT Z has assessed the expeditor partners. The problem that occurs is the problem of each driver and expeditor in the field agreeing to the same. There are some expeditors who have good performance and vice versa. In the midst of tight business third-party logistics resulted in each expeditor competing with each other and providing the best service to his clients. This research makes a decision support system by examining aspects that make the consideration of the selection of drivers and expeditors to be used for the transport of cement in PT Z. The method used in this study is the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) according experts' opinion in cement industry. Research uses decision support systems based on web information systems as an application method. This research can determine the choice of the driver and expeditor who has the best performance to carry out the cement transportation process at PT Z by considering the driver's waiting time. Drivers who have better results will get greater opportunities (priority) chosen to transport cement.
