Abstract

This paper studied the financing strategy selection problem of third-party logistics enterprise(3PL) when suppliers in a competitive relationship face financial constraints. It considered the two-echelon supply chain composed of two competitive suppliers and one retailer, and 3PL provides the supply chain for purchasing, logistics and financing services. Considered two scenarios of providing financing to supplier to get a price discount and taking into account additional cost of capital in purchasing, 3PL makes decision whether to finance to a supplier. It established the model of profits of 3PL, suppliers and retailer under different circumstances, and presented retailer’s and suppliers’ optimal price decision, and 3PL’s optimal logistics service price decision. It analyzed 3PL’s positive role of participating in the supply chain financing by comparing the earnings of enterprises before and after financing. This research shows that providing financing to a supplier with a shortage of funds will increase the revenues of 3PL, the retailer and the overall supply chain, and 3PL is more willing to provide financing to supplier when considering its own cost of capital. It also shows that the more competitive the suppliers, the greater the benefits of the 3PL and the retailer.
