【摘要】 第四方物流(4PL)为第三方物流(3PL)和客户提供物流交易平台已经成为目前一种主流的物流运作模式.然而普遍存在的3PL配送拖期现象降低了4PL的时效性.因此,如何有效控制4PL的拖期风险已经成为物流管理中一个亟待解决的科学问题.为了同时反映拖期风险以及对应的拖期概率,采用要求违反(requirement violation)作为拖期风险度量指标,进而基于委托代理理论提出4PL合同设计机制.仿真结果表明所设计的合同机制能够激励3PL付出更多努力,在4PL和3PL都取到保留效用的条件下使4PL的拖期风险和拖期发生的最大概率同时最小.更多还原

【Abstract】 It is already a common mode for the third party logistics and clients to trade on the 4PL platform.The management of 4PL’s tardiness risk has become a scientific problem to be solved, due to the prevalence of 3PL’s tardiness which restricts the development of 4PL. Based on principal-agent theory, this paper proposes a 4PL contract design mechanism to measure the magnitudes of the risk of tardiness and the probability of occurrence using the requirement violation(RV) index simultaneously. The simulation results show that the optimal contract can motivate the 3PL to make more efforts to simultaneously minimize the risk of the 4PL and occurrence probability of risk, under the condition that the 4PL obtains the reservation utility.更多还原
