EATWOS, OCRA ve REF III Teknikleriyle Ülkelerin Lojistik Performans İndeksine Dayalı Etkinliklerinin İncelenmesi
Examining the Efficiency of Countries Based on the Logistics Performance Index Using EATWOS, OCRA and REF III Techniques

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the economic efficiency of European Union (EU) member and candidate countries based on their logistics performance using three multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques: OCRA, EATWOS, and REF-III. In this context, Logistics Performance Index (LPI) indicators and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data were analyzed together. The results show almost perfect concordance among these techniques. Northern European countries (e.g., Denmark, Sweden, Finland) and Luxembourg and Ireland stand out with their high logistics performance, while Southern and Eastern European countries (e.g., Greece, Italy, Bulgaria) are ranked lower. Among the EU candidate countries, Turkey performs the best but still ranks low overall. These findings highlight the need for improvement in logistics infrastructure and operations. The study confirms the effectiveness and reliability of the methodologies used in evaluating logistics performance and provides valuable insights for future logistics development strategies. The analysis also reveals a positive correlation between LPI scores and GDP, emphasizing the importance of logistics efficiency for economic growth.
