Drivers: Compelling reasons to partner
Asset/cost efficiency; customer service; marketing advantage; profit stability/growth
Facilitators: Supportive corporate environmental factors that enhance partnership growth & development
Corporate compatibility; management philosophy; mutuality of commitment; symmetry on key factors (e.g. size)
Neither drivers nor facilitators present: More transactional, or “arm’s length”
Common drivers with facilitating factors:

The activities, processes, and priorities that will be used to build and sustain the relationship. Examples of components are:
Planning
Communication
Risk/reward sharing
Contract style
Financial investment
Step 5: Structure Operating Model
Depending on the complexity of the new relationship, the overall implementation process may be relatively short, or it may be extended over a longer period of time.
Step 6: Implementation & Continuous Improvement

Participants who are involved in the buying and selling of outsourced logistics services range from 1PL’s to 5PL’s:
1PL – Shippers or receivers of product moved through supply chain.
2PL – Asset-based logistics providers that physically move product through the supply chain (transport carriers of various modes).
3PL – Firms that manage and/or provide logistics services on behalf of their clients and customers. Most of these organizations are non-asset based.
4PL – Firms that provide broader scope of services to help manage elements of the supply chain, and typically may be more strategically involved than 3PLs would be.
5PL – Companies that aggregate demands of 3PLs into bulk volumes to negotiate better rates with logistics service providers.
“A third-party logistics firm may be defined as an external supplier that performs or manages the performance of all or part of a company’s logistics functions.”

Summary
Inter-firm relationships may span from transactional to relational and may take the form of vendor, partner, and strategic alliances.
Collaborative relationships have been identified as highly useful to the achievement of long-term supply chain objectives.
Third-party logistics providers are “external suppliers that perform all or part of a company’s logistics functions.”
3PLs may be thought of as transportation-based, warehouse/distribution-based, forwarder-based, financial-based, and information-based.
The most prevalent 3PL services used are transportation, warehousing, customs clearance and brokerage, and forwarding.
