Özet:

 Aim: This study compares the logistics performance of Turkey and MENA Middle East and North Africa countries using the clustering analysis method. The aim of the study is to evaluate the logistics performance of these countries and identify areas that need improvement. Method: The study uses the clustering analysis method to analyze data from the Logistics Performance Index. This analysis method allows for the grouping and comparison of countries logistics performance by category. Findings:The country with the best logistics performance among MENA countries, in all categories, is the United Arab Emirates.In the overall ranking, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia stand out.Turkey is the country with the highest logistics performance after the United Arab Emirates.The countries with the lowest logistics performance are Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Morocco, and Yemen.In terms of import and export preparation times, Iraq, Iran, and Algeria have the longest preparation times.Turkey is similar to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar and has shorter import and export preparation times. Results: Based on the results of the study, various recommendations have been made for countries to improve their logistics performance. These recommendations focus on areas such as developing logistics infrastructure, improving supply chain management, and speeding up customs procedures.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ve MENA Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika ülkelerinin lojistik performansları kümeleme analizi yöntemi kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu ülkelerin lojistik performanslarını değerlendirmek ve geliştirmeleri gereken alanları belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmada, kümeleme analizi yöntemi kullanılarak Lojistik Performans Endeksindeki veriler analiz edilmiştir. Bu analiz yöntemi, ülkelerin lojistik performanslarının kategorilere göre gruplandırılmasını ve karşılaştırılmasını sağlamıştır. Bulgular: MENA ülkeleri arasında lojistik performansı en iyi olan ülke, bütün kategorilerde Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Genel sıralamada Kuveyt, Katar ve Suudi Arabistan öne çıkmaktadır. Türkiye, Birleşik Arap Emirliklerinden sonra en yüksek lojistik performansa sahip ülkedir. Lojistik performansı en düşük ülkeler ise Irak, Libya, Suriye, İran, Fas ve Yemen olarak tespit edilmiştir. İthalat ve ihracata hazırlık süreleri açısından Irak, İran ve Cezayir daha yüksek sürelerle öne çıkmaktadır. Türkiye, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri ve Katar ile benzer şekilde daha düşük ithalat ve ihracata hazırlık sürelerine sahiptir. Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda elde edilen verilere göre, MENA ülkelerinin lojistik performanslarını ilerletebilmeleri için çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu öneriler, lojistik altyapının geliştirilmesi, tedarik zinciri yönetiminin iyileştirilmesi ve gümrük işlemlerinin hızlandırılması gibi alanlara odaklanmaktadır.
