The Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (Africa) at the University of Johannesburg is repeating its 2003 and 2008 surveys to ascertain trends and statistics with regard to current practices in logistics outsourcing in South Africa (SA).  Much interest has been shown in the trends that were identified and it is now opportune to update the information.

We would therefore be most appreciative if you would complete the online questionnaire, by 31 August 2011, by clicking on the link below. All completed surveys will be entered into a lucky draw to stand a chance to win an LG flat screen TV.

All information received will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

It will only take about 15 minutes of your time to complete this questionnaire. The results of the survey will be made available to you if you provide your organisation’s details at the end of the survey.   Alternatively you may remain anonymous.  

Your response is of the utmost importance to us and we thank you for your participation.

Note:  When we refer to logistics outsourcing in this survey, we do so according to the following definition:  “An arrangement whereby a logistics service provider performs services for a firm that could be, or have been, provided in-house, i.e. the firm subcontracts logistics activities to providers equipped to perform these services.”  (Lynch, Logistics Outsourcing – A Management Guide, 2000.)
