Summary
The two most basic types of supply chain relationships are vertical (e.g.,buyer-seller) and horizontal (e.g., parallel or cooperating).
In terms of intensity of involvement, interfirm relationships may span fromtransactional to relational and may take the form of vendor, partner, andstrategic alliances.
There are six steps in the development and implementation of successfulrelationships. These six steps are critical to the formation and success ofsupply chain relationships.
Collaborative relationships, both vertical and horizontal, have been
identified as highly useful to the achievement of long-term supply chainobjectives. The Seven Immutable Laws of Collaborative Logistics providea framework for the development of effective supply chain relationships.

Summary (cont.)
Third-party logistics providers may be thought of as an external supplierthat performs all or part of a companys logistics functions. It is desirablethat these suppliers provide multiple services, and that these services areintegrated in the way they are managed and delivered.
The several types of 3PLs are transportation-based, warehouse/distribution-based, forwarder-based, financial-based, and information-based suppliers.
Based on the results of a comprehensive study of users of 3PL services inthe United States, over 70 percent of the firms studied are, to some extent,users of 3PL services.
User experience suggests a broad range of 3PL services utilized; the most
prevalent are warehousing, outbound transportation, and freight billpayment and auditing.

Summary (cont.) While nonusers of 3PL services have their reasons to justify their
decision, these same reasons are sometimes cited by users asjustification for using a 3PL.
Customers have significant IT-based requirements of their 3PLproviders, and they feel that the 3PLs are attaching a priority torespond to these requirements.
Approximately two-thirds of the customers suggest 3PL involvementin their global supply chain activities.
Although most customers indicate satisfaction with existing 3PLservices, there is no shortage of suggestions for improvement.

Summary (cont.) Customers generally have high aspirations for their strategic use of
3PLs and consider their 3PLs as keys to their supply chain success.
There is a growing need for fourth-party logistics relationships that
provide a wide range of integrative supply chain services.
