Abstract: Today's business success to a great extent depends on logistics and supply chain performance. More and more companies, especially manufacturing firms, obtain their competitive advantages through creating successful logistics outsourcing alliances to optimise value and performance. This paper puts forward a conception of producer logistics service, analyses its positive effect on manufacturing firms from the perspective of the function of producer services in industrial clusters whose core firm is manufacturing firms, furthermore, discusses logistics outsourcing between manufacturing firm as a logistics outsourcing party and third party logistics (TPL) enterprise as a logistics service provider through building cooperative game models and, finally, proposes further research in the field of logistics outsourcing.
