Abstract

The remarkable development of the logistics industry motivates the optimization researches on the logistics park planning. After the construction period of the logistics parks when the relative location and layout problems are highlighted by the scholars, the performance evaluation on the logistics parks during their operation period is of great significance. On one hand, the well-performed logistics parks can be determined and stand out from their peers through performance evaluation, and can hence provide a benchmark for others to learn and further make progress. On the other hand, logistics parks can analyze their SWOT based on such evaluation and realize their sustainable development. Consequently, the performance evaluation on the logistics parks has been attached great importance in recent years. In this study, we present a systematical review on the logistics park performance evaluation problem from two aspects, including evaluation index system and quantitative evaluation methods (e.g., AHP, TOPSIS and DEA, etc.). We wish this review can help the readers clearly understand the research progress of this problem and also draw more colleagues to this research field.
