The Logistics Outsourcing Handbook
For any business involved in today’s supply chains, logistics services are critical. Companies have to decide whether to retain their own logistics operations or place their trust in third-party suppliers. This potential move away from the traditional approach of managing these processes internally can lead to improved service and reduced cost although this isn’t always the case. The Logistics Outsourcing Handbook provides step by step guidance on the process of logistics outsourcing and explains how to apply this information for commercial success. Vital advice is given on benchmarking existing operations, how to shortlist companies, produce a request for a proposal, choose the optimum supplier and implement and manage the contract.
Logistics outsourcing is a strategically important part of an organisation’s supply chain strategy. Making the wrong decision can result in product shortages that make news headlines and cause significant reputational damage (e.g. KFC). Getting it right can be a significant of competitive advantage. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the different aspects to consider when making a logistics outsourcing decision. It is a must read for all those involved in logistics outsourcing.
