    This report presents an excerpt of the2010 15th Annual Third-Party Logistics Study addressing supply chain

    and logistics issues affecting the fast-moving consumer goods market. TheAnnual Third-Party Logistics Study

    documents the growth and evolution of the third-party logistics (3PL) industry and each year, takes an in-depth look

    at special topics and vertical markets. The study team sought a deeper understanding of the challenges facing the

    high-volume, low-margin fast-moving consumer goods industry, as well as the strategies that fast-moving consumer

    goods shippers and 3PLs are using to manage issues such as reducing costs, perfect order fulfillment and rapidly

    sensing and responding to changes in consumer demand. The study results are based on four streams of research:

    a web-based survey, desk research, focus interviews with industry experts and a facilitated shipper workshop, and

    include perspectives from both shippers and third-party logistics providers.
