CLUSTER ANALYSIS AND HYBRID MCDM-BASED ASSESSMENT OF LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE IN OECD COUNTRIES

Öz

The Logistics Performance Index (LPI), published biennially by the World Bank, is a key tool used to assess countries’ logistics systems based on six criteria: customs, infrastructure, international shipments, logistics service quality, tracking and tracing, and timeliness. A higher LPI score is associated with stronger trade capacity, economic development, and global competitiveness. This study analyzes the 2023 LPI scores of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, aiming to classify them into groups and evaluate their internal rankings. Using the K-means clustering method, 38 countries were grouped into four clusters. The relative importance of logistics criteria within each group was determined using the Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and Logarithmic Percentage Change-driven Objective Weighting (LOPCOW) methods. A joint weighting approach was then applied, and countries were ranked using the MOORA Importance Coefficient method. Findings show that Logistics Services Quality and International Shipping are consistently ranked among the most influential criteria. MEREC tends to highlights Logistics Service Quality, while LOPCOW prioritizes Tracking and Tracing. In all clusters, Logistics Services Quality, International Shipping, and Infrastructure stand out as key determinants of performance. According to the results, the top-performing countries in each cluster were Australia (Group 1), the Czech Republic (Group 2), Chile (Group 3), and Australia again (Group 4). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the model.
