Logistics Performance Index (LPI) Analysis with Using AHP and Fuzzy AHP

Abstract

The Logistics Performance Index (LPI), which is published by the World Bank at two-year intervals, evaluates and ranks the countries’ logistics performance in six categories with a survey application. This study aims to present an application in which companies within the country can individually categorize according to LPI. The LP survey scores based on answers given in each category, applying the sample business groups in Turkey have been created. Unlike the LPI index is 2018 points considering the world and in Turkey, were analyzed by the method of AHP and Fuzzy AHP decision-making. Based on these analyses, the most important criteria were found. These criteria were analyzed statistically and the differences between LPI rank and Fuzzy AHP and AHP rankings were analyzed. These results provide a practical application that shows which areas they are behind the LPI index and which criteria can improve their performance by making individual analyses of the enterprises. Thus, companies can also benefit from LPI analysis individually.
