Webinar: How to make logistics outsourcing successful?

Over time the appetite for outsourcing of logistics activities is changing. There are good reasons to outsource, and there are good reasons not to, or even to insource logistics. Drivers for outsourcing vary by industry segment and also depend of the specific roles of logistics in a company. Making the right choices what, when and to whom to outsource is complex. And once the outsource choices have been made, it is not easy to make outsourcing a real long term success.

This webinar addresses key questions that companies are faced with today when (re)considering their in/outsourcing activities.

Specific topics which will be addressed in this webinar:

• Why and which logistics functions do companies outsource?
• Insight in the (global) 3PL market: what are the differences by industry segment and by geography?
• How to choose the right partner, what is the right process and what are the key success factors (including sample project plans)?
• How to contract? What are the key elements that should be included in a contract?
• What is preferred pricing methodology? Activity based costing, open book or hybrid: what are the pros and cons and how to manage?
• What are the success factors and the pitfalls in the implementation phase?
• How to turn into a long term sustainable and mutual beneficial partnership? How to ensure that the 3PL adds value also after 5 or 10 years contract?
