 Prioritizing Critical Success Factors for Sustainable Service Quality Management by Logistics Service ProvidersAnchal Gupta, Rajesh Kumar Singh and Pradeep Kumar Suri Vision, 2018, vol. 22, issue 3, 295-305 Abstract: In the era of globalization, the scope of logistics service providers (LSPs) is expected to grow exponentially in India. In order to sustain and grow, LSPs need to provide quality services to the organizations. The objective of this article is to identify the important critical success factors (CSFs) for LSPs to deliver sustainable service quality and to rate the importance of identified CSFs by using fuzzy TOPSIS methodology. Twelve CSFs were identified from the literature review. The experts were asked to provide inputs, and rate each of these 12 factors in terms of their importance. Further, a fuzzy TOPSIS approach was applied for prioritizing CSFs. The findings of the study show that the top four prioritized factors among all the 12 factors are committed management and workforce, understanding and analysis of customer needs, service quality and reliability, and integrated logistics management. The study will enable the LSPs to understand the expectations from shippers in order to provide sustainable service quality. The research will also help LSPs to identify the factors on which they have to work to fulfil market requirements.
