Abstract
ENTEGRE EDİLMİŞ TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ YÖNETİMİ VE DÖRDÜNCÜ PARTİ LOJİSTİK Üçüncü parti lojistik firmaları kendilerinden beklenen getirileri sağlayamadığı için dünya yeni bir lojistik çözümü aramaya başladı. Dördüncü parti bu yeni çözüme verilen isimdir. Dördüncü parti lojistik firması, detaylı kaynak zincirleri çözümü sağlamak için, kendi kaynaklarını, yeteneklerini ve teknolojisini çeşitli hizmet sağlayıcılarla birleştirip yöneten bir kaynak zincirleri entegratörüdür. Türkiye'de dördüncü parti lojistik hizmeti sağlayan bir firma olmadığından araştırmacı uygulamasını Türkiye'de bu konunun ilk uygulayıcısı olmak isteyen bir şirkette yapmıştır. Araştırma kısmında lojistik marketler, prosesler, depo maliyet karşılaştırmaları, ve organizasyon yapısı detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Data toplarken ikincil datalardan yaralanıldığı gibi gözlem ve röportajlarda yapılmıştır. 21 nci yüzyılın bilgi teknolojisinin bu konudaki faydaları da gözardı edilemez. İntranet, internet ve çeşitli software teknolojileri lojistik hizmet sağlatıcılara üçüncü partilikten dördüncü partiliğe geçiş şansı vermiştir.
