This research evaluated the logistical efficiency of the countries, as well as creating scores that represent the weight of each indicator of the Logistic Performance Index (LPI) in this efficiency. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to measure logistical efficiency and made it possible to compare the six LPI indicators (inputs) from 99 countries and show the relationship of these indicators with the Gross Domestic Product per capita (output). For the creation of the scores, multivariate statistics were used with the discriminant analysis to elucidate which indicators better discriminate the groups of the countries that are more and less efficient in terms of logistics. The results grouped the levels of logistical efficiency of the countries in the lower, median and upper efficiency ranges, while the discriminant analysis showed the LPI indicators that most impact logistics performance, with Customs, Infrastructure and International Shipments being the most significant indicators in search for maximum logistical efficiency in the countries.
