Conclusions and further suggestions
Outsourcing activities have become one of the most important organizational functions
in the 21st century. An efficient supply chain management requires optimization of the
product’s movement from raw material to finished good for customers. This
optimization results in a need for professional experts in coordinating logistics
services. It is profitable to outsource logistics activities because they are non-value
adding but they can not be eliminated and 3PL firms will perform the logistics in the
right way. Besides this, a unit requiring resource allocation is eliminated by
outsourcing.
