“…The papers adopting RBT have been mainly used to explain the 3PLs' engagement in environmental actions and programs [40,41]. Authors investigating the involvement of 3PLs in reverse logistics have used other theories such as fuzzy set theory [99], network theory [39] and information theory [105]. A couple of papers used multiple theories.…”

“…The model includes a set of qualitative, quantitative, strategic and operational factors that may affect 3PLs involvement in making reverse logistics decisions. The issues concerning the 3PLs' selection were also addressed by Efendigil et al (2008) [99] with a specific focus on the outsourcers' requirements. The authors proposed a methodology in which environmental factors are included in the selection process of a reverse logistics provider.…”

Despite the increasing interest toward environmental issues in the freight transport and logistics service sector, a comprehensive and updated assessment of the existing literature is still missing. This paper aims to fill this gap by presenting the results of a systematic literature review of publications in the area of environmental sustainability in third-party logistics service providers (3PLs) between the years 2000 and 2016. The review offers insight into the critical dimensions of green matters in transport and logistics service companies using an analytical framework based on the following five topic areas: influencing factors, green actions and the impact on performance, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools supporting the green actions, energy efficiency in road freight transport and shipper's perspective and collaboration. The results indicate that, despite the number of published papers having grown significantly from 2008 onward, some areas remain highly under-researched such as ICT and performance measurement. Several research gaps have been identified in each topic area, and a set of propositions forming an agenda for future research directions has been suggested.

“…For such, 10 evaluation criteria are considered which are: a fit to develop a sustainable relationship, market knowledge, similar values-goals, managerial experience, financial stability, successful track record, comparable culture, technical expertise, performance, and similar size. As per Efendigil et al (2008), an integrated model integrating Fuzzy AHP and artificial neural network (ANN) models to select a suitable 3PLs provider. The 12 performance criteria considered in their model are: total order cycle time, integration level index, service quality level, confirmed fill rate, environmental expenditures, unit operation cost, system flexibility index, on time delivery ratio, increment in market share, capacity usage ratio, research and development ratio, and customer satisfaction index.…”

Abstract. In the global competitive environment, companies not only improve the quality of service and increase the efficiency, they also decrease the cost by means of third-party logistics (3PLs). 3PLs, therefore, is an important strategy for companies desiring to gain a competitive advantage and 3PLs provider selection plays a critical role for the success of outsourcing. Nevertheless, the level of uncertainty in the selection process is relatively high and need to be carefully considered. Hence, in order to select a proper 3PLs provider, integration of the Fuzzy AHP and Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) has offered a novel integrated model, in which Fuzzy AHP is used for calculating priority weights of each criteria and EDAS is employed to achieve the final ranking of 3PLs providers. Besides, in order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model, it is validated by a case study. Cost together with quality, and professionalism are found to be the most important factors for 3PLs provider selection. Consequently, the advantage of this model is that it is simple to apprehend and easy to apply. The use of the proposed model leads to the selection of suitable alternative successfully in other selection problems.

“…More specifically, it is observed that the majority of the papers on supplier selection/evaluation in the literature applied either solely AHP/ANP or AHP/ANP integrated hybrid approaches, which is an evident that it is the best suitable approach on solving supplier selection/evaluation models. Efendigil et al [114] investigated a holistic approach based on ANN and fuzzy AHP (FAHP) methods in order to select the most appropriate and desirable third-party reverse logistics service provider in consideration of various subjective requirements. Shaw et al [89] presented a hybrid approach based on FAHP and fuzzy MOLP in a supplier selection problem for a low-carbon supply chain.…”

Abstract:Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter governmental regulations has fueled the need for integrating sustainability into supply chain and logistics activities. Accordingly, recent studies in the literature have emphasized the significance of environmentally concerned logistics operations (ECLO). Research in the broad area of ECLO encompasses a wide range of topics including sustainable supply chain, green supply chain, closed-loop supply chain, low-carbon logistics, and waste management. In this paper, a comprehensive content analysis and area review is presented. Over 800 papers published between 1994 and 2017 in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings, and book chapters are utilized. These papers are analyzed in consecutive stages after being reviewed under a structural dimension process that addresses the fields of environmentally concerned logistics operations. Following the state-of-the-art review, a detailed analysis of ECLO research with a special emphasis on fuzzy applications is provided. The findings clearly indicate that the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique is a frequently used hybrid method, whereas fuzzy sets theory and other fuzzy hybrid techniques identify a gap in the related literature. This paper provides further critical analysis and other research suggestions in order to clarify these gaps and offer additional research perspectives. This information may provide extensive data that will enable future researchers to fill these gaps within this field.
