The Study About The Core Competition Of The Third Party Logistics

Logistics is considered to be the third source of the profit. With the development of socioeconomic, it's hard to make more profits in the first and the second source of the profit. So companies consider the logistics as a way to economize the cost and make more other profits. Because many companies could not operate well at the logistics, some other companies which engage in logistics can offer the logistics service to the businesses. That's what we called the Third Party Logistics (TPL).Now, the Third Party Logistic in China still in the initial stage. They haven't developed their core competence yet, and they don't have competitive strength. With the entrance of foreign logistic companies, Chinese companies encounter powerful resistance. How to enhance the core competence under this situation is that the companies concern for. This paper built the model of how to identify the core competence, and come up some viewpoint of how to enhance the core competence.This paper takes AHP method and Fuzzy Analysis method. First, analyses the core competence by AHP method form 14 indexes in four aspects. And then quantify the model by Fuzzy Analysis method.This paper includes four parts. The first part is prolegomenon. This part introduces the aim and the meaning of the study, and then introduces the progress of logistics in China and abroad - the difference between China and America is the main part. Also, it analyses the advantages and disadvantages of TPL domestic.The second part is the theory part. This part introduces the AHP and the Fuzzy Analysis method. Also it introduces how to apply these two methods to the TPL.The third part is the application of the model. The paper chose one company which engaged in Logistics in Sichuan province. Based on the fact, the paper analyzes what the core competition is.In the fourth part, the paper comes up with some suggestion about how to enhance the core competition in China.The study of Third Party Logistic in China is still in the initial stage. The paper can offer some theory support about the TPL in China, and also the paper can guide the practical in some way.
