“…For the airline selection, Degraeve et al (2004) proposed a mixed model that integrates MIP and total cost of ownership (TCO). As per Thakkar et al (2005), they used a model integrating interpretive structural model (ISM) and analytical network process (ANP) for a appropriate 3PLs provider selection. In this sense, 15 criteria are considered: trustworthiness, trained logistics personnel, attitude toward entering into along-term contract, geographical coverage, necessary certifications, readiness, experience, flexibility, readiness to share experiences, attitude toward open-book accounting, attitude toward working under a computerized system, financial background, availability of computer network, margins, and readiness to utilize hygienic practices.…”

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.

“…The companies do not have extensive geographic coverage as compared with the 3PL service providers which is a reason behind selecting the 3PL. Companies foresee the geographic coverage of 3PL while selecting any third party logistics service providers (Thakkar et al, 2005). Similarly, organizations are less experience dealing with their logistics operations while the 3PL service providers are more competent dealing with the transportation and logistics due to their core competencies in that field.…”

Previously various studies were conducted concerning the outsourcing and selection of 3PL in different countries but this study aims to find out the reasons of outsourcing and selecting a 3PL from the different industries of Pakistan. The study aimed to collect the data from the manufacturers working in different industries in Pakistan. The researchers have used mean testing to rank the factors as per their importance and the data of 125 respondents were gathered for analysis. Study has found that reduction in the logistics costs is the most important reason for outsourcing 3PL and service quality is the most crucial factor for the selection of any 3PL service providers in Pakistan. The research aims finding the factors for the reasons of outsourcing and selection of a 3PL but it would be useful finding the impact of outsourcing the logistics activities on the organization's performance through qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research provides a vital and practical direction to the Pakistani organizations regarding the decisions of outsourcing and selecting a 3PL service providers. The research will help finding the reasons of outsourcing and selection of any 3PL party. The research aims finding the reasons and selection of 3PL in the organizational perspective of Pakistan as there are very limited past conducted studies.

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to delineate a green supply-chain performance measurement framework using an intra-organisational Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM) approach. A fuzzy-Analytic Network Process (ANP) based Green Balanced Scorecard (GrBSc) has been used within the CDM approach. CDM aids in arriving at a consistent, accurate and timely data flow across all cross-functional areas of a business thereby providing real-time information for the evaluation, control and improvement of processes, products and services so as to meet both business objectives and rapidly changing customer needs. A green causal relationship is established and linked to the fuzzy-ANP approach. The causal relationship involves organisational commitment, eco-design, green supply-chain process, social performance and sustainable performance constructs. Subconstructs and sub-sub-constructs are also identified and linked to the causal relationship to form a network. The fuzzy-ANP approach suitably handles the vagueness of the linguistics information of the CDM approach. The CDM approach is implemented in a UK-based carpet manufacturing firm. The performance measurement approach, in addition to the traditional financial performance and accounting measures, aids in making decisions of the firm in regard to the overall organisational goals. The implemented approach assists the firm in identifying further requirements of the collaborative data across the supply-chain and information about customers and markets. Overall, the CDM-based GrBSc approach assists managers in deciding if the suppliers' performances meet the industry and environment standards and the human resource is effective.
