Purpose – Due to mounting fiscal pressures, the federal government as well as many state and municipal governments in the USA have had to re-examine their transportation policies. Tax increases and/or spending cuts which aim to trim budget deficits are preoccupations of most policy makers and legislative bodies nowadays. With regard to the task of building new or rehabilitating old bridges, highways, and toll gates, cost-benefit analysis and economic impact studies are often undertaken by various government entities to rank and prioritize spending in the hopes of maximizing fiscal efficiency and road usage benefits. Since most highway construction and maintenance expenditures are absorbed by state governments, it is mostly up to state policy makers to decide transportation priorities. Not much research to date has been conducted to evaluate the comparative efficiency of state road provision to commuters and shippers. Such research would be useful to a state government’s budgetary allocation, road planning, and spending plans. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses data envelopment analysis under both constant and variable returns-to-scale and then to explain variations in efficiency ratings by using Tobit regression analysis. Findings – The authors discovered that the greater the level of state resident income and/or the warmer the weather, the higher the road or mass transit provision efficiency on average. The authors also found that greater urbanization in a state had little to do with efficiencies with respect to road provision. Originality/value – This paper is one of the first to assess and evaluate the comparative efficiency of road provision across 50 states in the USA and then set a benchmark for utilizing state financial resources to improve road infrastructure. More importantly, this paper helps transportation planners and public policy makers better allocate their limited financial resources to public goods in time of budget cutbacks and shortfalls.

This paper presents a literature review of performance evaluation of logistics, and the use of multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) in this area. For this purpose, we covered more than 120 research articles published from 2010 to 2019.The study identifies popular research methodologies, commonly used MCDM methods and 13 research themes that are likely to continue into the coming decade.The study highlights future research opportunities in each of the identified trends.The review comprehensively covers the descriptive and analytical papers providing a 360-degree view of the developments in the area.

“…To prevail in such a value delicate condition, 3PL suppliers need to enhance their capacities and offer administrations at lower costs [117,143]. The test is that 3PL suppliers should be cost cognizant to accomplish higher edges and to keep themselves from being valued out of the market because of expanded nearby work costs, fuel costs, protection premiums, and rising client benefit desires [59]. In China, transportation costs covers normally 54.2% aggregate coordination cost (KPMG, 2016).…”

“…Money-related strength of 3PL is placed as one of the basic perspectives of their tasks and one of the noteworthy criteria for picking a 3PL firm [59,143]. A monetarily solid 3PL supplier has assets to contribute for clients and can improve its own operational capacities [121] and fulfill its customers, diminish hazard for coordination accomplices, and impact the long haul connections [97].…”

Third-party logistics was propelled first in US; later on, European nations put it on to successfully deal with an organization's coordination exercises, re-appropriating the capacity and purchasing the administrations. 3PL suppliers without their very own advantages are called lead coordination suppliers that have preferred the standpoint that they have particular industry ability combined with low overhead expenses, yet they bring down arranging power. Lead coordination suppliers may likewise be less bureaucratic with shorter basic leadership cycles because of the littler size of the organization, and the most critical contrast between a second gathering coordination supplier and an outsider coordination supplier is the way that a 3PL supplier is constantly incorporated in the client's framework. The 2PL is not coordinated as compared to the 3PL as it is just a redistributed coordination supplier with no framework mix. A 2PL regularly just gives institutionalized administrations, while 3PLs frequently give benefits that are redone and particular to the necessities of their client. Coordination is evaluated as a significant use for organizations. Thus, in the present aggressive condition, there is a squeezing need to control coordination expenses, and execution estimation has turned out to be an effective apparatus in accomplishing business targets.
