Abstract
Third-party logistics (3PLs) service providers have become an extremely important part of any organisation's supply chain. They are required in almost all business operations right from supplying the raw material to the manufacturing plants to delivering finished products to the end customers and hence appropriate selection of these service providers will not only make the organisation competitive but also contribute significantly to profitability. Present research focuses on first identifying criteria or enablers, which can be used to evaluate 3PLs. These enablers are further utilised by a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making technique of data envelopment analytic hierarchy process (DEAHP) to select the most appropriate 3PL service provider amongst choices available. With the help of exhaustive literature review, 14 major selection criteria were identified. Uniqueness of the research lies in the application of this hybrid technique to the selection of 3PLs for a manufacturing company.
期刊介绍：
IJISM''s thematic focus is on research that investigates and improves integration along supply chains. IJISM seeks high-impact scholarly analytical and empirical research in integrated supply management from academics and professionals. It is discipline-agnostic. Supply chain integration can be a complex and challenging imperative involving industry 4.0 ecosystems, alignment of supply markets and consumers, associated organisational changes, and the creation and management of integrative relationships in the supply chain. Substantive research that addresses such issues is solicited. Topics covered include: -Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing/service eco-systems including blockchains, robotics, wearables, sensors, AI, data mining, additive technologies, etc. in integrated supply chains -Global integrated supply chain design -Purchasing and supplier coordination and relationships -New modelling, optimisation and empirical methodologies in integrated supply chain design and management -Risk management and resilience -Sustainable operations and sharing and circular economies -Lean supply managenent -Quality management in supply chains -Transportation and logistics -Customer relationship, service response, demand management in supply chains -E-commerce supply management -Performance measurement in supply chains
