Abstract

This document presents the research project "Assessment of Logistics Collaboration among retail sector partners considering sustainable criteria" to be conducted by the proponent, Professor of the Undergraduate and Master s Program in Production Engineering at Federal University of Sao Carlos - Campus Sorocaba. This subject has been researched by the proponent since his doctorate degree. The motivation for this project is due to the contribution that the study of logistics collaboration may generate greater competitiveness for companies in supply chains. The questions of this research are: which are the mechanisms that facilitate logistics collaboration and which are the barriers in this proccess? Finally, what are the sustainability criteria that have been adopted by the partners in the retail sector? The purpose of this project is to assess the collaboration between the Third Party Logistics and its partners shippers, transporters and retailers, considering the criteria of sustainable practices. The research will be exploratory, using a case study in 3PL and descriptive using the survey data from business partners. The expected results of this project include: theoretical contributions on sustainable practices adopted by the participants in the retail supply chain and practical contributions to the assessment of the partners under sustainability criteria. The project consists of: theoretical framework, purpose, expected results, methodology and scientific and technological challenges, methods and plan of activities and schedule. (AU)
