About.

Researchers from leading logistics and supply chain schools are conducting a long-term survey with the goal of identifying trends and developments in the logistics industry over time. This data will be used to generate knowledge and content relevant to the logistics industry.

Our Goal

Logistics Metrics such as transportation, warehousing, and inventory are leading economic indicators, and can point towards potential movements in the overall economy. In our monthly survey, we gather the responses of over 100 professionals on the movement and direction of eight key logistics metrics. These metrics are aggregated into the Logistics Managers' Index, which is released on the first Tuesday of every month. 

Established in 2016
