26、ntal variation. In the enterprises operation because of the changing of market demand and adjustment of enterprise operation strategies，the logistic equipment can not adopt to the operation . If rebuilds，then invests is large, the time is long, the market reaction rate of the enterprise also must be

27、 affected. In the usual situation, the enterprise need to build its own logistics channel when enters the new market, this not only needs to consume the massive funds and the energy, but also when the logistics network had been established，the product possibly entered the winter, has not had the pos

28、sible market to share.

29、s flexibility to the market, and many achieve very inaccessible market than the enterprise own ability, using the third party logistic companies logistics network, to expand products market share, and to enhance enterprises competitive competence.In view of the fact that third party logistics compan

30、ys many superiority, the enterprise will have to carry on the effective cooperation with the third party logistics company, if it want to have the superiority in the future competition. It will make the analysis slightly below about how to carry on the effective cooperation with the third party logi

31、stics company. After the enterprise has outsourced their logistic activities to the third party logistics company, the enterprise had then formed the cooperation relationship with the third party company, this kind of cooperation can be divided into three kind as following. Transactional logistic re

32、lationship. This kind of relationship is built on the basis of one transaction or a rang of transactions. In this stage, the third party logistics company develops the range of service unceasingly, increasing the classes of service, gradually carrying on the special-purpose property investment to th

33、e customer enterprise, and enhancing the cooperation with the customer enterprise. Partnership logistic relationship. This is a kind of relationship which depends on the special details determination, guided by the contract, provides the value-added service, achieves the specific contract goal, and

34、enlarges the special-purpose property investment to customer enterprise, such as IT, warehouse, talented persons and so on, to reduce the operation cost of customer enterprise and share management risk.Strategic alliance partnership. This is a planed durability cooperation. For the realization of bo

35、th sides common interest, they have the consistent value orientation and the strategic target, sharing risk and benefit, depending on each other mutually. Construct the strategic partnership(1) Must have a correct understanding and the transformation from the idea to the third party physical distrib

36、ution company. The third party logistics company is the strategic alliance with the manufacture enterprise. In the service content, it provides for the manufacture enterprise not merely the disposable transportation or the allocation service, but one kind of long-term contractive and comprehensive l

37、ogistic service. Its final function is to guarantee the manufacture enterprise logistic system highly effective operation and optimizes the supply chain management unceasingly. Its service involves the manufacture enterprises entire management process including sales plan, the stock management, the

38、ordering plan, the productive plan and so on, had far surmounted in the manufacture enterprise general sense business relations, but is combines to form closely a unite, and one kind of strategic partnership, he third party logistics company is the strategic investor of the manufacture enterprise, i

39、s also the risk undertaker. The third party logistics company does not pursues the short-term economic efficiency, exactly said，it is one kind of investors status to serves for the manufacture enterprise. This is its typical characteristic as a strategic alliance. For instance, in order to meet the

40、manufacture enterprises need, the third party logistics company often voluntarily invests or by the joint capital constructs modernized & specialized warehouse, the personalized information system，as well as the special transport vehicle and so on, for the manufacture enterprise. This kind of in

41、vests range from several million Yuan to hundred of million Yuan，have directly saved the massive expense for the manufacture enterprise，but the risk of this kind investment is also undertakes by itself inevitably. The originates of third party logistics companys profit is consistent with the manufac

42、ture enterprises profit. From essentially saying，the third party logistics companys profit originates from the new value which accord in the modern logistic sciences promotion，this is also the third profit fountainhead which we mentioned frequently.(2)Clear the difference of the strategy partner rel

43、ations and the traditional market transaction, The traditional transaction relations are based on the single transaction congruent relationship，but the strategy partner relations are formed through the long-term development，completing the complementarily work by both sides and obtaining the result w

44、hich cant be achieved by either part. All quarters of the cooperation share information, brave dangers altogether, to mutual benefit and seek win-win but not to get the zero and the competition. The strategic partnerships function is broader, and the request is high. In the strategic partnership agr

45、eement, it usually requests the third party logistics company provide more comprehensive logistic function, including: Transportation, warehousing, order execution, information management, stock management and strategic retailing consultation and so on. Moreover it also requests to integrate these p

46、hysical distribution function organically, and provides integrated logistic service. But in the traditional logistic transaction, the third party logistics company only limits to one or two logistic functions, for instance transportation or warehousing. In the strategic partnership，the logistic dema

47、nd enterprise only holds the minority several logistic partners. The logistic demand enterprises partner number is decided by its own management statue，as well as the third party logistic companies supplement ability. But in the traditional transaction relations，there are more third party logistic c

48、ompanies to be elect for the service object. If the enterprise want to realize the transform from competition thought which lead by the isolation management to realize the transform from competition thought which lead by the isolation management to operates independently to the new thought of cooper

49、ation competition which seeks the win-win situation. They should hand over the logistics to third party which have competitive advantages, and form the partnership with the third party logistic companies, participates in the domestic and the international competition by the entire supply chain overa

50、ll supply and demand contract relationship, but also to strengthen cooperation of both sides. Both sides should positively cultivate and build the common value and organizational culture of mutual trust and the mutual benefit, to realize the cooperation of both sides compatibility, then it is helpfu

51、l in eradicating the zero and the competition to realize win-win situation. The enterprise needs to regard the third party logistic companies as the partner for the pursue of long-term development strategy, not the short-term benefit transaction relationship; concern the logistic cooperation as the

52、value center and the profit and center, not the cost center. The two sides is the cooperation alliance which seek mutual benefit and take on the risk altogether.The concrete steps of construction strategic cooperative partnership. Preparation, earlier period communication. If the enterprise can intr

53、oduce the third party logistic service effectively，it will affect each aspect of enterprises operation，from the sale and the marketing to accounting and the finance. This possibly request the enterprise policy，culture and behavior all take the corresponding change. In order to make this process carr

54、ied on smoothly，the enterprises top administrative personnel must support the enterprises entire logistic completely.The plan of outsourcing third party logistic service needs to obtain enterprise top-level administrative personnels strong support. The enterprise director who in charge of this plan
