“…It composes a dynamic environment where changes are incorporated and used in new cases. • Zhang et al (2004) stated that the evolution of supply chains leads to the creation of a new integrator element called fourth-party logistic (4PL) who is responsible for managing a group of 3PL. Managing activities includes selecting 3PL providers.…”

There has been an increasing interest in third-party logistic (3PL) evaluation and selection methods lately. Proposed methods in academic literature have significant differences, approaches and conditions to be used, yet comprehensive reference of such methods was not found. This problem is considered in this article, which main goal is to make a descriptive analysis of existing methods for evaluation and selection of 3PL providers. A classification of methods is made using characteristics commonly highlighted in academic literature. This paper is an exploratory study and main expected result is a reference of current 3PL selection and evaluation researches. Most of the analyzed methods for 3PL selection and evaluation considered a mixed between qualitative and quantitative approaches and are not based in real cases. Descriptions of which method to use in each particular situation was not found.

“…for example, Huang et al [27] studied the immune algorithm of the path optimization in 4PL; Zhang et al [28] studied the AHP method on selecting 3PL cooperators in the 4PL system; Chen et al [29] studied the model of 4PL based on the direct graphic solutions; Lau and Goh [30] studied the multi-agent intelligent network systems based on 4PL and so on.…”

“…Larger number of attributes also contributes to the complications of being assigned with consistent and meaningful weights (Tookey and Thiruchelvam, 2011). Dickson (1966) identified 23 important criteria for the supplier selection criteria and it was seen in publication of academic articles from 1966 to 1990 (Weber, 1991), whereas from 1992 to 2003, there were 49 related articles were published (Zhang, 2004;Weber et al, 1991;Dickson, 1966). Moreover, Cheraghi (2004) has discovered 36 criteria with additional of 13 criteria from the origin of Dickson"s 23 criteria.…”

-Nowadays manufacturing industry is growing rapidly and large numbers of added value in business activities has been exercised. Supplier selection problem has improved in many areas by evaluation of supplier to increase supply chain performance. Supplier selection is one of the most important aspects in manufacturing industry. This paper suggest a combination techniques of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) together with Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model to develop new decision support system (DSS) to the industry. There are four stages in supplier selection process which employed the norm stages of supplier selection process: data gathering, AHP calculation, SCOR evaluation, and implementation of decision making. Data analyzed was aligned with evaluation of data to synthesize of priorities and consistencies measurement. Organization"s decision maker would gain benefits and acquire competitive advantage providing DSS practitioners to achieve a success of the holistic approach in future decision support system.
