This was the 19th iteration of this annual survey. The authors conduct similar annual surveys in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The 2012 survey focused on a variety of issues including the key marketplace dynamics in the North American 3PL industry, the industry’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, its expanded use of social media tools, its current role in meeting the logistics service needs of companies in the healthcare industry, and a wide range of other aspects of the industry’s current status and future prospects in the region. The CEO of each company included in the survey was contacted by e-mail and asked to participate in a web- based survey. An initial target group of 20 of the 50 largest 3PLs in North America was contacted, and the CEOs of all those companies agreed to participate.

  • Small and Mid-Size Companies Enhance Financial Performance Through Supply Chain Management
    SMALL AND MID-SIZE COMPANIES ENHANCE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Many small and mid-size companies may not have the resources in-house to effectively manage the challenges associated with logistics. Focused on their core business, they relegate supply chain management solutions to a back-room function, and fail to recognize the impact of their supply chain on revenue growth, operating expenses and capital utilization. For the small or mid-size company, the understanding that improvements in the current supply chain will help reduce costs of goods sold, days in inventory and overall hidden operational expenses is one thing. However, there are many issues these companies face that keep them from embarking on improved supply chain management and discovering its benefits on financial performance. For some companies, the manual processes that slow down productivity also do not allow for time to focus on logistics functions. For others, growth is the top priority; the cost of logistics is not identified and the potential for improvement is unknown. Smaller companies may not have the technology to track information or the personnel to deal with all aspects of logistics. Where to start By their very nature, supply chains are complex. One approach is to consider the logistics functions required to support your supply chain and then identify those areas offering the greatest potential to affect revenue growth, operating expense, and capital utilization. The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) defines logistics management activities as typically including inbound and outbound transportation management, fleet management, warehousing, materials handling, order fulfillment, logistics network design, inventory management, and supply/demand planning.
