Reassessment of Logistics Performance Efficiency Index (LPI) Criteria An Applied Study on the Logistics Center in the Suez Canal Axis Area

Abstract

In light of the global interest in the movement of trade that depends mainly on transportation and supply, many countries have resorted to establishing logistical areas to enhance the movement of industry and trade and increase the rates of development in them, and due to the strategic location of the Suez Canal, which is the most important global navigation corridor, through which 8% of maritime world trade passes through, the Suez Canal Corridor area was chosen to establish a global logistics center, and when studying the project according to the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) produced by the World Bank, which works to measure the efficiency and quality of logistics services through 6 fixed indicators, it was found that there are some other elements that affect the efficiency of the performance of the logistical services provided and contribute significantly to the rates of activity of these areas and the speed of their growth and development, and was not mentioned in the Logistics Performance Efficiency Index (LPI).

This research aims to re-evaluate the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), and adding other elements affecting the logistics performance that were not mentioned, in order to reach a comprehensive and clear vision to help countries identify the challenges and opportunities they face in their performance in the field of logistics services and what they can do to improve their performance, and then apply the study to the logistics center in the Suez Canal area to provide a clear and supportive future vision.
