Answer to Question 1

4PL providers not only provide a broader scope of services to their clients and customers, but typically may be more strategically involved than 3PLs would be. Essentially a supply chain integrator, a 4PL may be thought of as a firm that assembles and manages the resources, capabilities, and technology of its own organization with those of complementary service providers to deliver a comprehensive supply chain solution. As indicated in Figure 12.6, some of the value-adding services offered by 4PLs include: managing multiple providers of 3PL services (i.e., LLP or lead logistics provider); taking on more risk than 3PLs (e.g., taking an equity involvement in inventory ownership); providing advanced IT services; strategic consulting; and control tower services that provide comprehensive visibility throughout the supply chain.

Answer to Question 2

True
