Abstract

This chapter seeks to examine Industry 4.0-driven supply chains with a specific focus on technological advancements relating to logistics service providers. The aim of this work is to identify the service characteristics of Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) and their technological advancement to satisfy their customer needs. Additionally, the chapter provides novel insights about Industry 4.0-driven Supplier Selection and Evaluation (SSE) processes, risks involved in changing LSPs, and how organisations can plan a seamless LSP transition. In order to achieve the above, the following 4 research objectives are set:
1. To examine the service characteristics of current and alternative logistics providers.
2. To examine the LSP selection process.
3. To investigate the risks and barriers in changing the current logistics model and logistics provider.
4. To develop a detailed transition plan for organisations to migrate from the current logistics provider to the proposed logistics provider.
These research objectives are the basis of the key themes that will enable a deeper understanding of the research topic.
