Abstract

The external supply of logistics services is part of a trend toward outsourcing non-core logistics activities. The scope of third-party logistics may range from a relatively limited combination of activities (e.g. transportation, packaging and warehousing) to a comprehensive set of logistics services. The author first discusses the characteristics of business logistics in the manufacturing firms, which could be helpful in understanding of outsourcing logistics services. The author points out the motivations for outsourcing logistics services, the evidence of outsourcing in logistics and analyzes outsourcing reverse logistics.
