Task Details: After reading the textbook notes on page 138, write a report analysing what companies needing a logistics service provider require and the process they follow to select a provider. In responding to the question, please reflect the quantitative and qualitative measures and the various ethical and sustainability issues you would consider when selecting a provider.
Research Requirements: Students need to support their analysis with reference from the text and a minimum of eight (8) suitable, reliable, current and academically acceptable sources — check with your tutor if unsure of the validity of sources. Students seeking credit or above grades should support their analysis with increased number of reference sources comparable to the grade they are seeking. Sources such as Wiki, scribed.com, docstore.com, etc. are not considered acceptable sources and should not be used — reliance on such sources will result in a fail grade.
