Toward a relevant agenda for warehousing research: literature review and practitioners’ input

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main purpose of this research is to provide an agenda for future warehousing research relevant for both academic development and practitioners' needs. In order to suggest a practically relevant future research agenda, first a comprehensive literature review was performed to identify research areas covered in the literature. Then, 15 warehouse managers and senior consultants were interviewed to add empirical input to the development of potential future research areas. The literature review reveals gaps, both methodology-and topic-wise. A considerable methodological imbalance is observed. Some of the highlighted managerial concerns have been investigated in the literature extensively, but the managerial concerns emphasized mostly do not belong to the most researched categories. While most of the practitioners' concerns relate to supportive aspects of warehousing business, a relatively high number of the reviewed studies highlight operational problems. The suggested future research agenda highlights the importance of supportive aspects of the warehousing business, employment of real data in analysis and empirical research methods. The insights from practitioners stress the expected trends of business environment such as more volatile demand, higher desire for customized services and more expansion of e-commerce.

“…Kitting and sequencing do not have to be performed in-plant but can be outsourced to a 3PL or to the suppliers. Within this regard Klingenberg and Boksma (2010) propose a conceptual framework for outsourcing of materials handling in the automotive industry. More research on the impact of this outsourcing decision on the trade-offs between line stocking and kitting is encouraged.…”

“…Another model assesses options for outsourcing material handling in terms of costs, reliability and speed of delivery, flexibility, quality, and criteria mapping to assess the LSP's service and performance capabilities (Klingenberg & Boksma, 2010). It concludes that in order to analyze resources, capabilities, competencies, and costs in the operational routine, three theories should be used: transaction costs, supply chain management, and resource-based view (Hsiao et al, 2010), adding institutional theory with a focus on legitimacy of actions (Karhunen & Kosonen, 2013).…”

Resumo: O processo de terceirização de serviços logísticos (TSL) é considerado incipiente na gestão das organizações, não só pelas suas questões operacionais como também pelas dificuldades de se criar elos com a estratégia da empresa. O presente estudo teórico, fundamentado na Teoria Baseada em Recursos, visa propor umAbstract: The process of Outsourcing Logistics Service (OLS) is deemed incipient in the management of organizations, not only because of the operational problems it presents, but also of its difficulties fitting into the company's overall strategy. The present theoretical study, building on the resource-based view of the firm, aims to propose a framework that guides managers in developing strategies to OLS starting from the operational structure to establish the necessary resources, capabilities, and routines. In addition, taken into account is the importance of analyzing risks and resilience in the environment, concomitantly with the analysis of the operational structure. Thus, four questions were developed, aimed at leading operations managers to reflect on the development of the strategy. The framework proposed for OLS considers the supply chain management department as the main interlocutor of the strategy. This framework can be adapted according with the necessity of the contracting company, and its main intention is to enable the establishment of a project that contemplates the necessary resources, the capabilities (criteria), and the operational routines (subcriteria) for the selection of a logistics service provider in the market, one which truly addresses the needs of the organization. This framework is already intrinsic in the practical actions of the authors, because of their extensive advisory activity over the last five years in OLS to logistics service provider. In addition, it is worth mentioning that so far in the tacit applications of this framework there has been no application similar to another.
