t is an industry that has only approvingly 10 to 15 years’ history (Donald Bowersox, David Close, Omar K. Helferich. 2001). As a newly raised field, the third party logistics industry has already occupied a significant proportion in many countries. In the countries of the European Union, the third party logistics basically occupies a proportion of 10% to 35% in the whole logistics market; while in (Lieb, R.C. and Peluso, L. 2000b), 57% of the whole logistics work is done by the third party logistics; in Japan who has the best development of socialized distribution, the third party logistics industry has a proportion of 80% in the whole logistics market.

( Richard Zelade. (2001) All these add the complexity of logistics activities and require much higher about the logistics activities in the terms of zero storage, on-time system, quick response and effective response to customers.
