Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) impacts as selection criteria when buying services from Third Party Logistics (TPL) providers: A case study of ITAB Scanflow

Kiatkulthorn, Pakitta, Sathapornwanit, Thanaporn January 2012 (has links)
Introduction – People and society are more concerned about Corporate Social Responsibility as well as the demand of outsourcing logistics services. When buyer companies select TPL providers, the selection criteria are focused on cost and on time delivery, while issues like CSR are often placed in a low priority. Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to analyze how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) impacts as selection criteria when buying services from Third Party Logistics (TPL) providers. Design/Methodology – The research approach of this thesis is qualitative. Both primary data and secondary data collection were used; semi-structured interviews, emails, field observation and documentation. There are seven respondents from three different companies. Findings – From buyer companies’ perspective, CSR was taken into account when buying services from TPL providers. However, it had impact on a low priority since the buyer company chose leading TPL providers that have a good reputation and image. The buyer company believes that those selected TPL providers have already implemented CSR practice. Moreover, the results show that the main driving force behind the application of CSR was the customer requirement Research limitations – This master thesis has studied in a specific Swedish company when selecting TPL providers. Moreover, this research has been studied from the buyer companies’ perspective.

Implementering av RFID i tredjepartslogistik (TPL) : En fallstudie av RFID inom lagerverksamhet i TPL med fokus på implementering och kostnadskalkyler i in- och utleveransprocessen på PostNord TPL / Implementation of RFID in third-party logistics (TPL) : A case study of RFID in warehousing operations in TPL with a focus on implementation and cost calculations in the inbound and outbound process at PostNord TPL

Titel: Implementering av RFID i tredjepartslogistik (TPL) - En fallstudie av RFID inom lagerverksamhet i TPL med fokus på implementering och kostnadskalkyler i in- och utleveransprocessen på PostNord TPL  Kurs: 4FE19E Examensarbete i Supply Chain Management för Civilekonomprogrammet, 30 hp.  Författare: Jacob Holm & Amer Basic Examinator: Helena Forslund Handledare: Hana Hulthén  Bakgrund: PostNord TPL i Ljungby är en av de aktörer som har fått upp ett intresse för RFID och det hela började med ett önskemål om RFID-tekniken från deras största kund (Kund X). Kund X efterfrågar en RFID-märkning på artikelnivå för att bland annat dra fördelar av en sådan teknik vid lagerinventering. För att PostNord TPL:s största kund ska kunna ta steget mot att implementera en RFID-lösning ute i butikerna, så krävs det att lagret i Ljungby implementerar tekniken först. PostNord TPL:s tanke, utefter kundens önskan att erbjuda dem denna tjänst, är att all RFID- märkning av Kund X artiklar sker på lagret i Ljungby. Denna studie är unik i sitt slag dels för att det förekommer ett stort forskningsgap i den existerande forskningsteorin med användning av RFID-teknik inom TPL, men att studien också fokuserar på RFID-märkning på artikelnivå.  Syfte: Syftet med studien är att föreslå riktlinjer för en implementering av RFID inom TPL i in- och utleveransprocessen. Riktlinjerna innehåller kategorisering av relevanta variabler för RFID-implementering samt implementeringsprocessen och kostnadskalkyl.  Metod: Denna studie är en fallstudie på företaget PostNord TPL i Ljungby. Forskarna har tillämpat en mönsterjämförelse där teorin och empirin har jämförts. Empirin har samlats in genom målstyrt urval och snöbollsurval, där semistrukturerade och ostrukturerade intervjuer med ett flertal olika aktörer har genomförts. Studien grundar sig i en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med ett deduktivt angreppssätt.  Slutsats: Studien har analyserat tre forskningsfrågor, där den första är mer generell inom TPL och de andra två riktar sig mot PostNord TPL förutsättningar. Studien har tagit fram förslag på vilka variabler som är relevanta vid implementering av RFID inom lagerverksamhet i TPL och hur de kan kategoriseras. Vidare har studien visat i vilken lagerhanteringsprocess RFID kan implementeras hos PostNord TPL och hur en sådan implementeringsprocess kan se ut. Slutligen har även tre olika kostnadskalkyler utvecklats för en RFID-implementering i in- och utleveransprocessen hos PostNord TPL. / Title: Implementation of RFID in third-party logistics (TPL) - A case study of RFID in warehousing operations in TPL with a focus on implementation and cost calculations in the inbound and outbound process at PostNord TPL  Course: 4FE19E Degree Project in Supply Chain Management for the Master of Business Administration Program, 30 hp. Authors: Jacob Holm & Amer Basic Examiner: Helena Forslund Tutor: Hana Hulthén  Background: PostNord TPL in Ljungby is one of the actors that has developed an interest in RFID, and it all started with a request for RFID technology from their largest customer (Customer X). Customer X requests an RFID tag at the item level, among other things, to take advantage of such technology during stock inventory. In order for PostNord TPL:s largest customer to be able to take the step towards implementing an RFID solution in the stores, it is required that the warehouse in Ljungby implements the technology first. PostNord TPL:s idea, according to the customer's desire to offer them this service, is that all RFID labeling of Customer X items takes place at the warehouse in Ljungby. This study is unique in its kind, partly because there is a large research gap in the existing research theory using RFID technology within TPL, but also because the study focuses on RFID labeling at article level.  Purpose: The purpose of the study is to propose guidelines for an implementation of RFID within TPL in the inbound and outbound process. The guidelines contain a categorization of relevant variables for RFID implementation as well as the implementation process and cost calculation.  Methodology: This study is a case study at the company PostNord TPL in Ljungby. The researchers have applied a pattern comparison where the theory and empiricism have been compared. The empirics have been collected through goal-directed selection and snowball selection, where semi-structured and unstructured interviews with a number of different actors have been conducted. The study is based on a qualitative research method with a deductive approach.  Conclusion: The study has analyzed three research questions, where the first is more general within TPL and the other two focus on PostNord TPL conditions. The study has produced suggestions on which variables are relevant when implementing RFID within warehousing operations in TPL and how they can be categorized. Furthermore, the study has developed in which inventory management process RFID can be implemented at PostNord TPL and what such an implementation process can look like. Finally, three different cost calculations have also been produced for an RFID implementation in the inbound and outbound process at PostNord TPL.
