Third-Party Logistics (3PL)A third-party logistics provider is a firm that

provides outsourced logistics services to companies for part or all of their supply chain management function.

Electronic Commerce and Logistics

• E-fulfillment– Many logistical

functions and activities occur

– More, smaller orders– Order management

and information management systems must handle large volumes of orders

– Smaller orders dictate open-case picking

• Traditional Fulfillment– Many logistical functions

and activities occur– Fewer, larger orders– Order management

system is set up to handle orders from resellers, not consumers

– Full-case picking– Warehouse set up to

handle large volume orders

Page 9: Summary   scm

Electronic Commerce and Logistics

• E-fulfillment– Products slotted to

facilitate picking smaller orders

– Totes and push carts used

– Packaging is small cartons, envelopes, bags suited to holding small quantities

• Traditional Fulfillment– Warehouse set up to

handle large volume orders

– Variety of materials handling equipment used

– Packaging generally cartons that hold large volume orders

Page 10: Summary   scm

Electronic Commerce and Logistics

• E-fulfillment– Transportation companies

used with extensive delivery networks; experience in parcel shipments

– Outbound shipments usually picked up by vans

– Return rates much higher and from ultimate consumers

• Traditional Fulfillment– Transportation methods

and companies vary by request of buyer

– Outbound shipments may be picked up by tractor trailers or railcars

– Return rates lower and from resellers

Page 11: Summary   scm

Order Management• Order management is the activities that take

place in the period between the time a firm receives an order and the time a warehouse is notified to ship the goods to fill that order.– Order planning-connected to sales forecasting

– Order transmittal

– Order processing

– Order picking and assembly

– Order delivery

Page 12: Summary   scm

Order Management

• Order cycle defined by the seller: time from when an order is received to when the goods arrive at the customer’s dock.

• Order cycle defined by the buyer: time from when an order is placed to when the goods are received. Also called replenishment cycle– Getting shorter– More precise delivery times– Customer can track orders– Quality is important and is benchmarked

Page 13: Summary   scm

Discuss

• Explain the term order cycle.

• Describe the four stages of the ‘order cycle’ in detail.

Page 14: Summary   scm

Packaging

• Protective functions of packaging– Enclose materials– Restrain materials from undesired movement– Separate contents to prevent undesired contact– Cushion contents from outside vibrations and shocks– Support the weight of identical containers stacked above– Position the contents to provide maximum protection– Provide for uniform weight distribution– Provide exterior surface for labeling– Be tamperproof– Be safe for consumers or others

• Give examples, where appropriate

Page 15: Summary   scm

Discuss

• What are the 5 modes of transportation in logistics? Explain and give examples, where appropriate.

Page 16: Summary   scm

Center-of-Gravity Location for a Warehouse Serving Five Retail Stores

Average distance (North-south) : (3+1+3+2+3)/5=2.4 miles

Average distance (East-west): (1+2+3+4+6)/5=3.2 miles

Warehousing Management

• Warehousing emphasizes storage of products.• Distribution centers emphasize rapid movement of

products through the facility.• Throughput is the amount of product entering and

leaving a facility in a given time period.• Regrouping function

– Accumulating (increasing quantity)– Allocating (reducing quantity)– Assorting (building up a variety of products)– Sorting (separating products into grades and qualities)
