Continuing the topic of loses and efficiency, I came across endless debates about the 3PL concept. Adepts of 3PL, more often forwarders and companies selling these services, provide impressive reports on how many millions a year their customers save. However, as is the case with the budget, numbers are complex and controversial topic. From my experience, I can say that the issue with the transition to 3PL most often has an emotional background. Either the owner (or the most important in the Board), by his willful decision, imposes an embargo on the use of outsourcing due to security, or the responsible for logistics decides to outsource services for a number of political or personal reasons. But what about the figures? As Jack Trout said - "Nobody knows the future"...
