The purpose of this paper is to highlight the efforts of a leading Turkish automotive company to restructure its supply chain for export parts.

The paper presents hand‐on experiences of a pilot project conducted at Tofaş‐Fiat automotive company to redesign its logistics operations and to select a global logistics service provider, using an analytic hierarchy process for multi‐criteria decision‐making.

3PL providers in Turkey must improve their capabilities and act proactively in providing value‐adding services as the companies are becoming more demanding in their expectations in building strategic relationships.

The focus of the paper is on automotive supply chain for export parts, but the analysis as well as 3PL selection methodology may be successfully applied to other products in different settings and in other sectors.

Companies must determine logistics goals and requirements prior to taking on a 3PL. The defined objectives will help to establish the criteria for 3PL selection. Some of these include IT capability, service quality, customer relationship, and cultural fit. This analysis helps the company to define the problem with its differing aspects rather than only financial considerations, to reflect the common mind of the team, to resolve conflicts between the differentiated departmental goals, and to bring objectivity to decisions via an analytical approach.

This paper provides some practical insights from an automotive company that attempts to streamline and efficiently run its supply chain through logistics outsourcing.

The purpose of this paper is to use two recent US prosecutions of Turkish nationals for sanctions evasion, the Zarrab and Atilla cases, as case studies of recent developments in US sanctions law and law enforcement.

This paper uses primary sources (pleadings and other court documents) to articulate the key facts and arguments in the Zarrab and Atilla cases and to explain the sanctions evasion methodologies used by the group. This paper then draws out the lessons of these cases for the practice of financial crime compliance in banking institutions.

This paper highlights the expanding scope of US sanctions laws and the challenges for banks in complying with them. In particular, it shows the similarities between sanctions evasion and other financial crime methodologies, arguing that banks need to become more interdisciplinary in their operational approach to financial crime.

The Zarrab and Atilla cases are of international significance in sanction law. This paper is the first in-depth case study of these cases from a legal and compliance perspective.
