Due to advancement of technology and globalization, the organizations are giving more importance to the supply chain integration, taking support from logistics service providers (LSPs) and practice several initiatives in direction of sustainability. The assets, processes and performance capabilities of LSPs can be used as an indicator to comprehend and evaluate effective and sustainable service quality management. In this article, there is an attempt to understand and analyse all important components required by LSPs to serve their customers with best quality of services. A comprehensive framework is proposed for evaluating the services of logistics providers. The services are evaluated on the basis of LSPs assets, processes, service quality attributes and sustainable performance parameters. A case study on Indian logistics service provider is taken to support the proposed framework in a real scenario. The assets and processes in context to given case organization are discussed in detail. The service quality index is also evaluated for estimating the quality of services of firm by taking inputs from their customers. After discussing service quality analysis, the performance analysis is done along with SWOT Analysis. Findings of the study will help professionals in developing appropriate strategies for effective and sustainable supply chain management.

“…To achieve a reduced inventory cost and supplying problems, some companies work with the third party logistic firms (Basligil et al, 2011) or use vendor-managed inventory (VMI) (Lee and Ren, 2011;Zanoni et al, 2012). Similar to these practices, the current company in this study places some of its inventory in the warehouse without owning them.…”

“…In order to focus resources and capital on their core business, many companies outsource their noncore business, such as transportation, warehousing, freight consolidation and distribution, as well as labeling and packaging to a third party logistics service provider (3PL) [1,2]. The 3PL can reduce companies' logistics costs, help companies improve customer satisfaction, thereby increasing the market demand for their products, and finally increase their sales revenue [3].…”

This paper theoretically investigates pricing and ordering decisions in a supply chain system comprised of a dominant retailer, a manufacturer, and a third-party logistics (3PL) provider. The paper introduces the logistics service level as an additional variable and obtains the equilibrium pricing and ordering decisions of the supply chain members by applying game theory. Our analysis focuses on the effects of three sensitivity coefficients, i.e., the retailer’s order quantity to the manufacturer’s wholesale price, the 3PL’s logistics service price, and the logistics service level on equilibrium decisions. In addition, we explore the effect of the logistics investment cost and the market risk on equilibrium decisions. Finally, we present a numerical illustration to validate our theoretical results and explore their effects on channel performance.
