LOGISTICS SERVICE PROVIDER Company performing logistics activities on behalf of a manufacturer or distributor. Depending on the complexity and the type of value-added operations carried out by the Logistics Service Provider, several categories can be defined: The traditional Logistics Service Providers who carry out physical logistics operations (transport and storage) and whose management system is limited to tracking shipments on behalf of the client company; The value-added Logistics Service Providers who add a certain number of services to the traditional package ranging from managing complex operational handling (co-manufacturing and co-packing), to management of administrative operations (billing and ordering) and information management (tracking-tracing, etc.); Logistics services integrators characterized by the quasi-absence of their own physical facilities. Their role is to integrate the services of different subcontracting companies (transport, storage, value-added operations, etc.) and to coordinate and control them through management of the associated information flows.
Logistics Industry Evolution First Generation (1970s - 1980s) Third Generation ( 2000 and beyond) Second Generation (1980s - 1990s) Online freight marketplaces Web-based 3PLs Increasing supply chain integration Non asset-based companies Asset-based companies increased service offerings Transportation / warehousing Freight forwarders / brokers Shipper s agents Broader more integrated services
First-party logistics,, 1PL First-party logistics provider (1PL) is a firm or an individual that needs to have cargo, freight, goods, produce or merchandise transported from a point A to a point B. The term first-party logistics provider stands both for the cargo sender and for the cargo receiver. A 1PL can be a manufacturer, trader, importer/exporter, wholesaler, retailer or distributor in the international commerce field. It can also be institutions such a government department or an individual or family removing from one place to another. Anyone having goods moved from their place of origin to their new place is considered to be firstparty logistics provider.
second-party logistics provider,, 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
Third Party Logistics Third-party Logistics is simply the use of an outside company to perform all or part of the firm s materials management and product distribution function. -- Simchi-Levi (2000) A relationship between a shipper and third party which, compared with the basic services, has more customized offerings, encompasses a broad number of service functions and is characterized by a long-term, more mutually beneficial relationship -- Murphy & Poist (1998)
Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Definitions 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.

Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Types of 3PL Providers Transportation-Based Warehouse/Distribution-Based Forwarder-Based Financial-Based Information-Based
Third-Party Logistics (3PL): 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. Ryder, Schneider Logistics, FedEx Logistics, and UPS Logistics are examples of 3PLs.
Third-Party Logistics (3PL): 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. DSC Logistics, USCO, Exel, Caterpillar Logistics, and IBM are examples of warehouse/distribution-based 3PLs.
Forwarder-Based Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Types of 3PL Providers Essentially very independent middlemen extending forwarder roles. Non-asset owners that capably provide a wide range of logistics services. AEI, Kuehne & Nagle, Fritz, Circle, C. H. Robinson, and the Hub Group are examples of forwarder-based 3PLs.
Financial-Based Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Types of 3PL Providers Provide freight payment and auditing, cost accounting and control, and tools for monitoring, booking, tracking, tracing, and managing inventory. Cass Information Systems, CTC, GE Information Services, and FleetBoston are examples of financial-based 3PLs.
Information-Based Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Types of 3PL Providers Significant growth and development in this alternative category of Internet-based, business-to-business, electronic markets for transportation and logistics services. Transplace and Nistevo are examples of information-based 3PLs.

Technology capabilities not being delivered. Time and effort spent on logistics not reduced.
Emergence of Fourth Party Logistics Providers u Globality and Supply Chain Integration are increasing the functions of Logistics providers. This has lead to the emergence of consulting firms as fourth party logistics providers u 3PL have a larger, more efficient network of transportation & networking, but the 4PL have optimal combination of warehouse capabilities, transportation services and technology u Consultants as 4PLs are used to review bids made by 3PLs, and to align the business processes with the supply chain --especially critical in case of Global Logistics. u 4PLs have the advantage of being in sync with the rapid, enormous changes in Information Technology.

Fifth Party Logistics Fifth Party Logistics (5PL) is attributed to Logistics Service Providers who plan, organize and implement logistics solutions on behalf of a contracting party (in particular, information systems) by exploiting the appropriate technologies (conceptual level). The central ethos of 5PL is its commitment to collaboration and to obtaining a higher degree of resource utilisation in order to achieve savings and open up opportunities to secure the best possible solution at minimum cost/carbon etc.,
6, 7,8, PL The phrase 7PL was coined by the Value Logistics Group and is a concept describing the developing trend of 3PL and 4PL combined. Through this service, the client has one service provider that oversees the entire logistics chain. 7PL is the combination of 3PL and 4PL into one (3PL + 4PL = 7PL). One service provider can now provide a client with both 3PL and 4PL services with a complete 7PL solution to clients and can undertake turnkey projects for its clients where all services and activities are provided for under one roof. One contract, one bill. 7PL is a turnkey solution where instead of dealing with several people for various services like inbound, outbound and warehousing, clients now are required to deal with one person under the one contract, one bill concept. 7PL companies will be prime candidates for takeover by bigger players and play the role of service providers within the larger offer. Such consolidation will be seen in all areas from shipping, trucking, air cargo to couriers, ground handlers and IT services. Many others will drop out.

New concepts in Global Logistics Delocalization - practice of adding value to the product at different locations closer to the consumer. Modularization - practice of assembling a product using modules purchased from different sources Delayed Differentiation & postponement - Customization of the order after demand has been identified e.g: Labeling the products in the language of the countries that they have to be shipped to
