GLPI proposed in this study is designed to facilitate cross-industry or cross-country assessment of GL performance and identification of gaps in GL practices. Similar to the LPI, the GLPI and its underlying indicator variables constitute a dataset to measure GL performance among industries or counties across several major categories of GL activities. The richer the dataset or countries surveyed, the more robust the comparison and benchmarking will be. While the LPI considers various attributes affecting the logistics performance of a country such as infrastructure, information technology, service quality, government regulations and policies, etc. the GLPI looks at investment of resources, adoption of latest performance of the industry or nation in GL activities.
