Purpose – With competitive pressures placing an increasing dependence on the ability of organizations to deliver customer-adapted products quickly and on time, logistics has been an area that has been subjected to investigation. While there is a growing evidence of organizations increasingly seeking to outsource their logistics activities, there have been few comprehensive studies on the outsourcing of logistics in the Middle Eastern region. The purpose of this paper is to examine the usage of third party logistics (TPL) services in Saudi Arabia.Design/Methodology/Approach – Empirical research is used to study the extent firms use the services of logistics companies; the time period these have been used; the decision-making process for choosing contract logistics and its impact on the organization.Findings – Results based on the analysis of data relating to 496 firms in Saudi Arabia indicate that most of these users are satisfied with the services providers and has largely seen positive developments within the organization.Practical Implications – The results provide managers with evidence supporting the benefits of logistics outsourcing. The study also contains useful information for the providers of contract logistics services on the most frequently used services.Originality/Value – This study makes a significant addition to literature on logistics outsourcing as little empirical research has been previously reported from Arab world and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia to establish linkages between organizations and TPL providers. Moreover, the results of this study will also serve as a future benchmark for the entire Gulf Cooperation Council region, as Saudi Arabia happens to be the largest country in the Middle East.
目的-竞争压力使组织越来越依赖于快速、及时地交付客户适应产品的能力,物流一直是一个受到调查的领域。虽然有越来越多的证据表明,越来越多的组织寻求外包其物流活动,很少有全面的研究在中东地区的物流外包。本文的目的是检查第三方物流(TPL)服务在沙特阿拉伯的使用情况。设计/方法论/方法-实证研究用于研究企业使用物流公司服务的程度;它们被使用的时间;选择合同物流的决策过程及其对组织的影响。调查结果-基于对沙特阿拉伯496家公司的数据分析的结果表明,这些用户中的大多数对服务提供商感到满意,并且在很大程度上看到了组织内部的积极发展。实际意义-研究结果为管理人员提供了支持物流外包效益的证据。本研究亦载有有关最常用服务的有用资料,供合约物流服务供应商参考。原创性/价值——这项研究对物流外包的文献有重要的补充,因为以前很少有来自阿拉伯世界和沙特阿拉伯的实证研究报告。沙特阿拉伯建立组织和第三方物流提供商之间的联系。此外,本研究的结果也将作为整个海湾合作委员会地区未来的基准,因为沙特阿拉伯恰好是中东地区最大的国家。
