A company wants to rapidly expand distribution internationally. The company has decided that distribution is not a core capability. Which of the following logistics strategies is most appropriate?
A.
Develop distribution and transportation as core capabilities
B.
Redesign the distribution processes to eliminate redundant logistics activities
C.
Contract with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider for warehousing
D.
Contract with a fourth-party logistics (4PL) provider for integrated logistics services
We need to engage a fourth party logistics (4PL) provider for integrated logistics services. A 4PL provider will handle all aspects of the supply chain and can provide a complete solution for a company that wants to expand internationally but finds that distribution is not one of its core capabilities. While a 3PL might provide warehousing services, a 4PL would provide a more complete solution for international expansion.
