Abstract

Purpose: ASEAN Economic Community, comprising of 10 ASEAN countries, has agreed to develop a single market and a single production base. Regional supply chain can be redesigned in order to optimize supply chain performance. However, the logistics performance of each country is disparate. Therefore, this paper aims at investigating and benchmarking the logistics performance of 10 ASEAN countries. Design/methodology/approach: 6 Logistics Performance Indexes by the World Bank, i.e., Customs, Infrastructure, International shipments, Logistics quality and competence, Tracking and tracing and Timeliness, are used to benchmark logistics performance of 10 ASEAN countries. To allow benchmark the different proficiency, Gross Domestic Market (GDP) per capita is crossed over. Data from 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 are also taken and reflect the logistics development trends. Findings: The paper indicates normalized gaps between 10 ASEAN countries in terms of logistics performance. Findings also indicates overall logistics performance of ASEAN as a single entity. Originality/value: The findings help understanding logistics performance and limitation of each country.
