摘要：
To keep their competitive edge and improve customer satisfaction, it is popular for many companies to outsource their logistics to proper Third-Party Logistics (3PL) providers. The evaluation and selection of 3PL providers in their business processes are expected to be solved dynamically. In this paper, based on the theory of automated negotiation, a Dynamic Organization Model (DOM) was designed for an online E-commerce Platform (EP) from the perspective of companies outsourcing logistics. During the negotiation, the involved 3PL provider agents may autonomously make decisions upon both the negotiation context and the dynamic market arguments in an iterative manner, and both the basic attributes of 3PL providers and the historical cooperation data with them are considered. Through comprehensive evaluation and negotiation, the most suitable 3PL provider may be determined as the contractual partner. Finally, the effectiveness of DOM is testified by a case study instantiated with a coal company and several 3PL providers. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
