This chapter discusses logistics relationships and third-party logistics. It outlines a six-step process for developing successful supply chain relationships: strategic assessment, deciding to form a relationship, evaluating alternatives, selecting partners, structuring the operating model, and implementing and improving continuously. Third-party logistics providers perform logistics functions like transportation and warehousing for other companies. They can be transportation-based, warehouse-based, forwarder-based, financial-based, or information-based. Establishing collaborative relationships with information sharing facilitates effective supply chain management.
This presentation will help you understand the supplier relationship management and supply chain relationships.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. Logistics Relationships and
Third-Party Logistics:
Introduction
With more firms interested in working more
closely with their supply chain partners, high
priorities are:
Developing and implementing successful
supply chain relationships;
The need for collaboration to achieve
supply chain objectives; and,
Value created by third-party logistics.
7. Logistics Relationships:
Types of Relationships
Vertical
Refer to the traditional links between
supply chain members such as retailers,
distributors, manufacturers and suppliers.
Horizontal
Firms that have parallel or cooperating
positions in the supply chain such as a
transportation firm and a warehousing firm
serving the same customer.
8. Logistics Relationships:
Intensity of Involvement
Vendor relationship shows little or no
integration or collaboration.
Strategic alliance shows full integration and
collaboration.
Partnership shows a customized relationship
that results in better outcomes than could be
reached separately.
Examine Figure 11-1 on the next slide.
10. Logistics Relationships:
Intensity of Involvement
Regardless of form,
there are numerous
ways that the
relationships may

12. Logistics Relationships:
Model for Developing and Implementing
Successful Supply Chain Relationships
Six step process for forming and sustaining
supply chain relationships:
Step One – Perform strategic assessment
Step Two – Decision to form relationship
Step Three – Evaluate alternatives
Step Four – Select partners
Step Five – Structure operating model
Step Six – Implementation and continuous
improvement
14. Logistics Relationships:
Model for Developing and Implementing
Successful Supply Chain Relationships
Step One – Perform strategic assessment
Manufacturer becomes fully aware of its
logistics and supply chain needs and
overall strategies that will guide its
operations.
This step is referred to as a Logistics Audit,
and will be covered in Chapter 14.
Time spent at the outset is well spent.
15. Logistics Relationships:
Model for Developing and Implementing
Successful Supply Chain Relationships
Step Two – Decision to form relationship
When using an external supplier, will the
firm’s services be needed.
If the firm has core competencies in the
area that external supplier provides, then
the firm can provide its own services.
Using channel partners depends on
whether there are compelling drivers and
facilitators for partnerships are present.
16. Figure 11-4 What Does It Take to

Step Six – Implementation and continuous
improvement
Depending upon the complexity of the
relationship, the implementation period
may vary in length.
Future successes will be a direct function
of the ability of the partners to achieve both
breakthrough and continuous
improvement.
22. Third-Party Logistics:
Industry Overview
Firms have directed considerable attention to
developing supply chain relationships.
Many companies have been in the process of
extending their logistics organizations into
those of other supply chain participants and
facilitators.
One way of accomplishing this extension is
through the use of a supplier of third-party or
contract logistics services.5
24. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. Third-Party Logistics (3PL):
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.
AEI, Kuehne & Nagle, Fritz, Circle, C. H.
Robinson, and the Hub Group are
examples of forwarder-based 3PLs.
29. Third-Party Logistics (3PL):
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.
Cass Information Systems, CTC, GE
Information Services, and FleetBoston are
examples of financial-based 3PLs.
30. Third-Party Logistics (3PL):
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.
Transplace and Nistevo are examples of
information-based 3PLs.
31. On the Line:
Trade Team
Excel, the largest provider of brewery
distribution services in Great Britain, and Bass,
the industry’s low-cost producer, formed Trade
Team, the UK’s leading independent logistics
provider to the beverage industry.
Annual sales of $200 million; 280 million gallons
of beer and other beverages to over 27,000
retail customers; 40-50% market share.
Has capability to move other products.
32. Third-Party Logistics Research
Study: Industry Details
Of 93 responding executives, 71 percent
indicate a current or possible use of 3PLs.
Overall percentage of companies using 3PLs
is steady, but the computer and peripheral
and consumer products industries tend to
exhibit higher use (90 and 85 percent,
respectively).
Less use in automotive, chemical and retail
(50 to 60 percent usage range).
46. Third-Party Logistics Research
Study: Industry Details
Quantifiable measures of 3PL success:
Logistics costs reduced by 8.2 percent.
Logistics assets reduced by 15.6 percent.
Average order cycle length changed from
10.7 to 8.4 days.
Overall inventories reduced by 5.3 percent.
47. Third-Party Logistics Research
Study: Industry Details
Reported problem areas:
Service level commitments not realized.
Strategic management skills lacking.
Cost reduction goals not realized.
Cost “creep” and price increases occurring.
Improvements and achievements lacking.
Control of outsourced functions diminished.
Consultative, knowledge-based skills lacking.
Technology capabilities not being delivered.
Time and effort spent on logistics not reduced.
49. A Note on Fourth-Party Logistics
(4PL): The Next Evolution?
Thought of as supply chain
integrator, a firm that “assembles
and manages the resources,
capabilities, and technology of
its own organization with those of
complementary service providers to deliver a
comprehensive supply chain solution.”12
4PLs manage and direct the activities of
multiple 3PLs, serving as an integrator.
