A Case Study of the Factors Influencing the Choice of International Third-party Logistic Service by Taiwan Manufacturers / 影響台灣地區產業選擇第三者國際儲運服務因素之研究

碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 管理科學研究所 / 86 / Currently there is a tendency in global logistics triggered by
the Computer Industry in Taiwan which unconsciously gave rise to
the need to use so-called Third-party Logistics Service.
Recently, due to the shrinking of international and domestic
markets, it is inevitable for enterprises to change their sales
policies to enhance their global competence. At this stage,
they need to set up a timely, cost-effective, multi frequency
and sophisticated logistics operational system in order to cut
costs in global logistics functions. Actually, by developing
their own logistics systems, individual shippers will lose
economic benefits. The logistics services have become the glue
which holds multinational manufacturing and merchandising
companies together, especially in Europe and America at this
moment.Based on the assumption that manufacturers who regard
logistics functions as a strategy will produce good results, we
mailed our questionnaires to those manufacturers who performed
well in Taiwan for investigation. This study used the following
statistical methodologies: Frequency distribution, Discriminant
Analysis, Kruskal-Wallis One-way Anova and Chi-squared test, and
it examined the interactive key factors in affecting choice
about international third-party logistics services.I conclude
that global enterprises should consider ''Risk Liability and
Control'' and ''Cost/Service issue'' as strategy issues; consider
whether the philosophy of added value ''Centrality/Criticality''
will reap higher profits; use state-of-the-art ''Information
Service'' techniques to integrate the whole supply chain in the
manner of information transparency; and enhance the ''Market
Relationship'' to promote the operational effectiveness of
complete pipelines which will ultimately create multiple party
benefits. The enterprise should consider how to implement a
logistical strategy that includes the above-mentioned five
dimensions.This study found that the more complex production and
networking were and the less complex processing was, the more
chance for a company to make the outsourcing decisions of
''Equipment Function'', ''Handling Function'' and ''Warehousing
Function''. In respect to the five dimensions of logistical
strategy influencing the outsourcing of logistics functions, the
following relationships were observed: ''Centrality/Criticality''
to ''Warehousig Function; ''Risk Liability and Control'' to
''Terminal Related''; ''Cost/Service Issue'' to ''Warehousing
Fuction'', ''Terminal Related'' and ''Planning Function'';
''Information Service'' to ''Planning Function'', ''Handling
Function'', ''Administration and Information Functions'',
''Transportation Functions'' and ''Equipment Function''; and ''Market
Relationship'' to ''Handling Function'' respectively.
