Sustainable supplier selection: the effect of logistical collaboration on logistical performance

摘要

This research assesses the effect of buyer-supplier collaboration on logistical performance by considering sustainable criteria. The paper presents the results of a survey with 124 respondents of the Brazilian organizations to understand the relationship among Third-Party Logistical (3PL), Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry and Carriers. The results disclose that elements of logistical collaboration (interpersonal, tactical and strategic) exert positive influence in logistical performance (reliability, transport and risk). The interpersonal and strategic collaboration indices positively influence the reliability, which performs the highest-level performance index.
