Abstract
Third party logistics service providers (3PLSPs) evaluation and selection for a long-term as well as a strategic partnership is a very crucial and critical task and it is continually associated with uncertain challenges. To remain efficient and competent in the dynamically changing world of 21st century, organisations have reinforced their supply networks by building strategic partnership among both local and international suppliers. Adding to these, there are growing concerns from stakeholder for ensuring implementation of sustainability dimensions. The aim of this paper is to measure and compare the relative efficiency of the existing 3PLSPs based on the technical and sustainable criteria by using a data envelopment analysis (DEA), to find the best among the 3PLSPs portfolios, for the purpose of selection. Finally, a case study in a manufacturing firm is presented to demonstrate the potential use of the model.
