Connecting to Compete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy - The Logistics Performance Index and Its Indicators

This paper describes the Logistics Performance Index and its indicators, which provide a cross country and in-depth evaluation of the logistics gap that exists among countries. It presents a detailed look at the performance of supply chains--including costs of logistics, customs procedures, quality of infrastructure, tracing and tracking shipments, destination arrival timeliness, and competence. Significant differences in logistics performance across regions and countries are found, and particular areas of concern are discussed.
