Abstract

Especially, in the last 20 years, firms wanting to return core competencies and reduce costs are shown that they prefer outsourcing options in their logistics activities. Therefore, third party logistics (3PL) provider selection is one of the most important decision making problems for the firms that using outsourcing. The selection of 3PL provider affects the success of not only the firm but also the supply chain. In this study, a multi criteria decision making approach that consists of fuzzy The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) that is used to calculate the weights of criteria and fuzzy Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is utilized to evaluate the alternatives is proposed for the selection of 3PL providers. In order to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach, a case study that consists of three decision makers, seven criteria and five alternatives is obtained to select two cargo companies for a firm that produces heat systems and wants to sell its specific products via internet.
