Abstract:
This research analyses logistics outsourcing services from the viewpoint of client companies
(manufacturing companies). The main goal is to show how intensively various logistics outsourcing
services are used by Czech manufacturing companies in comparison with other world
regions, and which areas of logistics outsourcing should be considered more seriously in order
to increase logistic efficiency. The study is based on a quantitative and qualitative investigation
of Czech manufacturing companies. Firstly, the brief overview of the present situation in the
Czech market is presented. It is based on survey data. The results of this quantitative study are
compared with global research activities, especially with the 2013 Third-Party Logistics Study
carried out by Capgemini Consulting Company. Next, results of the qualitative investigation are
discussed. This part describes the experience of four selected Czech manufacturing companies
with logistics outsourcing, the main problems they face in this area and their future plans and
expectations. The present study is part of a more complex research currently being carried out
by the authors.
