4PL – FOURTH-PARTY-LOGISTICS
The percentage of the outsourcing has increased continuously. As a consequence the number of the big service providers in logistics has increased, who offer the classical transport service, the handling service, the service in warehouses as well as the value-added services to an established third-party between the customer and supplier. These third-party providers in logistics partially operate and control the whole logistics chain of customers, often with a big part of their own assets, as vehicles and storehouses. In the course of full outsourcing ideas and with the efforts to reduce costs rapidly the planning and functions optimization will be strongly discussed in the company. This discussion leads to 4PL – Ideas of LogGroup.
