Study On Core Competitiveness Of Third Party Logistics Enterprises Mainly In Shipping Business

With the perfection of economic system and the deepening of enterprise reform, the logistics is becoming more and more important for enterprises. In addition, more requirements are put forward for third-party logistics services. The report on logistics points out that the third-party logistics plays an important link in the supply chain. So it will surely bring greater profit margins for logistics enterprises in China by developing third-party logistics.In recent years, with the establishment of policy documents,"Restructuring and Revitalization Plan on the Logistics Industry " and "Classification and Evaluation Criteria of Logistics Enterprises", people pay more attention to the development of third-party logistics enterprises and begin to look toward the classification of logistics enterprises, the evaluation of the competitiveness of enterprises, and the construction of core competitiveness.Reasonable classification, systemic evaluation of enterprise competitiveness evaluation and research on core competitiveness will help enterprises understand their own competitive environment, recognize competitors, and grasp the change of their competitors. It can provide a basis for enterprise to formulate corporate strategy and measures. Therefore, the research on classification and competitiveness has important strategic significance for the growth of third-party enterprises and the development of China’s logistics industry.Firstly, on the basis of the analysis of the review of relevant literature, the framework of third-party logistics enterprise classification framework is built, and classifies the third-party logistics enterprises through the application of three clustering methods. Secondly, for the type of transport companies relying on shipping companies, a conical structure of competitiveness of third-party logistics enterprise has been proposed. And we establish the evaluation index system based on the conical stucture. At the same time, a combination evaluation method, which is based on Entropy Method, TOPSIS method and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method, has been used to sequence enterprise competitiveness.Then, combining with the characteristics of Sinotrans&CSC Holdings CO.. LTD, DEA and DEA cross-evaluation method are applied to analyze the strengths and weaknesses from the time dimension. Finally, standing on the point of Sinotrans&CSC Holdings CO., LTD, suggestions and measures are put forward to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises, from the two aspects of the logistics business segment, the shipping business segments and the shipbuilding Industry business segment.
