Özet

Transport and logistics have a very significant place in international trade. Thus, the measurement of logistics performance is directly related with a country's trade income. The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) was created by the World Bank to measure the performance of countries in the field of logistics. The index is created after asking a number of categorized questions to employees and managers of several logistics companies located in each country and determining the results with respect to the question scores. Although it is not the only determiner in this sector, the LPI is very important because the supply chain members use this index as a decision making tool. The index is released biennially and there are 6 reports between 2007 and 2018. In this paper, 6 Logistics Performance Reports are analyzed; the top 10 and worst 10 performances are criticized. Also Turkey's overall performance is examined and discussed specifically. The intersection countries are highlighted and the reasons are discussed. It is determined that generally high income countries are performing well and the countries with internal disturbances are performing indifferently. It is believed that this research will be helpful to understand the global picture of logistics activities.
