Abstract
Lean theory has been applied to the operation of Third-party Logistics (TPL) to eliminate the waste in supply chain logistics. This paper provides an integrated model of Third-party Lean Logistics (TPLL), which is divided into three hierarchies, from top to bottom namely the principle tier, planning tier, and tactic tier. According to the relationship of top-down guidance and bottom-up support, this study details the main content and element. Directions for future research are presented in this area.
