Although there has been growing interest in outsourcing the logistics sector in the industry, not much research was undertaken to provide the processes and standards in choosing the right third party logistics (3PL) for the company. In this research, we attempt to provide the 3PL selection criteria and its priority orders. We surveyed and interviewed the various industry experts and analyzed results using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The study reveals that manufacturers and logistics companies have different understanding of the selection criteria and priorities in outsourcing the 3PL.
