During the last decade, logistics outsourcing relationships have been thoroughly researched. Much of the prior work on the management of outsourcing has focused on the benefits, challenges, and risks. In this study the focus is on the management of logistics outsourcing life cycle. After synthesizing a number of models, this study proposes a framework for the management of logistics outsourcing life cycle. It proposes a systematic procedure that consists of specific steps and sub-steps. The proposed steps are the following: feasibility study, requirement analysis, market research, selection, planning of partnership, development and operation of partnership, partnership management, and re-identification of partnership. For every step, the activities, aims, and deliverables are defined, presented, and analyzed.
