A third party logistics provider is…
“…an external supplier that performs all or part of a
advantage”
Quinn, J., Doorley, T. and Paquette, P. (1990)

Conclusions
Four lessons from contracting theory and practice
Domberger, S. (1998)
1. The incentive factor changes when you move from in-house to out-source
• Rather – how can a contract be drawn up so that the benefits outweigh the costs “How to combine flexibility with control”
• For many activities it seems that this position can be reached - including the provision of logistics
Outsourcing can be defined as: “the transfer to a third party of the management and delivery of a (logistics) process
previously performed by the company itself”

Conclusions
Four lessons from contracting theory and practice
Domberger, S. (1998)
3. Contracts are relationships
There will always be a trust element – irrespective of how comprehensively the contract is drawn
The more that is invested into the contractual arrangement the more that can be derived;
Benefits should not just be measured by cost reduction – but also in terms of quality, reliability and value derived.
Trust and reciprocity are central to the outcome Trust is vulnerable
- To Changing Circumstances; - Long time to grow trust – little time to destroy it
• Globalisation • Lead time reductions • Customer orientation • Increased attention to robust integrated SCM
• Has led to changing nature of demand for logistics services
