Introduction
• 1PL:These can be the shipper (such as a
manufacturing firm delivering to customers) or the consignee (such as a retailer picking up goods from a supplier). They dictates the origin (supply) and the destination (demand) of the goods.
• 2PL : A second-party logistics provider (2PL) is an asset-based carrier, which actually owns the means of transportation. Typical 2PLs would be shipping lines which own, lease or charter their ships; airlines which own, lease or charter their planes and truck companies which own or lease their trucks
• 3PL: A firm which provides multiple logistics services for use by customers.
These firms facilitate the movement of parts and materials from suppliers to manufacturers and finished products from manufacturers to distributors and retailers.
Among the services which they provide are transportation, warehousing, cross-docking, inventory management, packaging and freight forwarding.
• 4PL: The most innovative and upcoming form of outsourcing logistics is Fourth Party Logistics.
• 4PL can be considered as a comprehensive supply chain solution which combines the capabilities of management consulting, IT technology and 3PL-providers.
• 4PL not necessarily mean that four parties are involved. The number “4” refers to the fact that this kind of logistics services is one level higher than 3PL.

Evolution of 3PL
The evolution of 3PL market is explained with reference to three distinct phases
In 1980's many transportation and warehousing firms developed into 3PL providers( e.g. Excel Logistics )
In the early 1990's firms that specialized in express parcel deliveries entered the markets
( e.g. DHL, TNT , UPS and FedEx )
In the late 1990's , companies originally specializing in financial services , I.T. services and management consulting entered the market by developing
competence in information systems and supply chain planning

Types of 3PL Providers
• 3PLs are external suppliers that perform all or part of a company’s logistics functions, including: – Transportation
– Warehousing
– Distribution
– Financial services
• Terms contract logistics and outsourcing are sometimes used in place of 3PL.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Types of 3PL Providers
• Transportation-Based – Services extend beyond transportation to offer a
comprehensive set of logistics offerings.
– Leveraged 3PLs use assets of other firms.
– Nonleveraged 3PLs use assets belonging solely to the parent firm.
– Examples: Ryder, Schneider Logistics, FedEx Logistics, and UPS Logistics are examples of 3PLs.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Types of 3PL Providers
• Warehouse/Distribution-Based – Many, but not all, have former warehouse and/or distribution
experience. – Transition to integrated logistics has been less complex than
for the transportation based providers. – Examples: DSC Logistics, USCO, Exel*, Caterpillar Logistics, and
IBM are examples of warehouse/distribution-based 3PLs. – * Exel regained their position as the world’s largest after an
acquisition, recently purchased by DHL.

Types of 3PL Providers
• Forwarder-Based
– Essentially very independent middlemen extending forwarder roles.
– Non-asset owners that capably provide a wide range of logistics services.
– Examples: AEI, Kuehne & Nagle, Fritz, Circle, C. H. Robinson, and the Hub Group are examples of forwarder-based 3PLs.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Types of 3PL Providers
• Financial-Based
– Provide freight payment and auditing, cost accounting and control, and tools for monitoring, booking, tracking, tracing, and managing inventory.
– Examples: Cass Information Systems, CTC, GE Information Services, and FleetBoston are examples of financial-based 3PLs.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Types of 3PL Providers
• Information-Based
– Significant growth and development in this alternative category of Internet-based, business-to-business, electronic markets for transportation and logistics services.
– Examples: Transplace and Nistevo are examples of information-based 3PLs.

Relationship Perspectives
AS Supply chain MANAGER CAN YOU AFFORD TO KEEP A 3PL AT ARMS LENGTH OR SHOULD YOU BUILD A CLOSE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR 3PL PROVIDER ?
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Transactional Relationship
• Both parties in a vendor relationship are said to be at “arm’s length”
• There isn’t much discussion with the 3PL company.
• Pricing is one of the Most important factors.
• Contracts in this scenario are the shortest.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Collaborative Relationship
The relationship suggested by a strategic alliance is one in which two or more business organizations cooperate and willingly, modify their business objectives and practices to help achieve long-term goals and objectives.
• There is a greater interaction and discussion between the 3PL company as compared to transactional relationship.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Strategic Relationship
• 3PLs are now assuming a more consultative role with customers, stretching beyond simply execution to more strategic designs.
• Greatest interaction among the 3PL , business and customers are observed in the strategic relationship.
• Represents an alternative that may imply even greater involvement than the collaborative partnership.
• Transactional relationships have given way to strategic partnerships.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Case Study: Kenco Group
• A 3PL based in Chattanooga, Tennesee.
• More than 100 facilities and 30 million square feet across 25 states and Canada.
• Kenco's client roster includes Whirlpool, Cummins, DuPont, Kohler, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and GlaxoSmithKline
• The average customer relationship spans 17 years.
• One of Kenco’s recent clients, switching to one service provider, is saving more than $10 million over the life of the initial contract.
• Both 3PL and clients prefer long term partnership as it is the most beneficial.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Environmental Concern in 3PL
• There has been rapid growth in the attention directed toward environmental burden, and it is now important to consider environmental issues.
• The main purpose of companies such as shippers and 3PL providers is to reduce costs and secure more profits, which may not coincide with environmental concerns.
• However, efforts to conduct business in an environmental manner have also been growing rapidly. Environmentally friendly logistics concepts such as green logistics and reverse logistics have been catching on.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Environmental Concern in 3PL
• “ISO14001” certification is one example. Each firm has an incentive to acquire it to enhance the reputation and market value of the firm. Indeed, the number of shipping companies that address environmental issues in their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities is increasing.
• Some 3PL providers have such certifications and promote themselves to shippers as environmental friendly companies. For shippers that are interested in environmental issues, certification seems to be an important factor in the selection of a 3PL provider.

4th Party Logistics
• 4PL is an emerging new outsourcing concept.
• A supply chain integrator who assembles and manages the resources, capabilities, and technology of its organization with those of service providers to deliver a comprehensive supply chain solution.
• 4PL can be considered as a comprehensive supply chain solution which combines the capabilities of management consulting, IT technology and
3PL-providers.
Kuldeep Uttam IIT Roorkee
Future Concern
• The total market for freight transportation intermediaries is still growing with the boom of e-commerce;
• The conventional 3PLs will not fade, but will face with the competition from the online logistics providers;
• The companies have to combine the logistics expertise with advanced technology to evolve.
• Strategic alliance will be important to obtain comprehensive and integrated supply chain solution capability.
• Medium sized and Large carriers may resist and try to continue business as usual or simply become e-commerce enabled using current business models
