Alternative logistics models are various structural approaches to planning and managing the physical movement and storage of goods, which companies can adopt instead of in-house operations. These include in-house logistics, third-party logistics (3PL), fourth-party logistics (4PL), shared logistics, and crowdshipping. The aim is to optimize cost efficiency, flexibility, and service levels within supply chain management.
