(30 points)Passage OneOne of the advantages of using 3PL results from economies of scale (merits from large truck fleets, warehouses, etc.) and economies of scope, which encourage c

25、ompanies to increase net value by reducing costs. The effects of these economies are obtained depending on the type of 3PL provider (e.g. IT-equipped, marketing-based, non-asset-based (and then flexible), etc.) Competent 3PL providers possess high coordination ability, enabling them to search for re

26、liable partners or sub-contractors, and to manage efficiently the inter-firm flow of goods. Such ability can be developed through experiences as a 3PL. Likewise, by outsourcing logistics activities, companies can save on capital investments, and thus reduce financial risks. Investment in logistics a

27、ssets, such as physical distribution centers or information networks, usually needs large and lump sum costs, which involves financial risks. Furthermore, the 3PL providers can spread the risks by outsourcing to sub-contractors.Although there are several advantages of using 3PL, some drawbacks also

28、exist. It is not easy to establish a reliable and cost-effective partnership between the firm and the 3PL provider. In order to establish reliable partnership, efforts should be made in two stages: 3PL provider selection and contract signing. Firstly, in the stage of selecting a new 3PL partner, it

29、is important to select the 3PL provider who has the ability to provide better services. If the firms cannot select reliable 3PL providers, they may suffer from economic losses. It is not easy for firms to judge the ability of the 3PL provider during the selection stage owing to the issue of informat

30、ion asymmetry (不对称) between the firm (principal) and the 3PL provider (agent). To solve this problem, complex selection procedures are necessary to identify their ability. However, the complex selection procedures may involve additional transaction costs. Secondly, it is important to establish a sys

31、tem to maintain their reliable partnership once the 3PL partner is selected. Information sharing and apparent risk sharing between the parties is always required. Concerning information sharing, it is needless to say that smoother information exchange will result in a more efficient logistics activity.
