In the context of robust economic growth, the logistics sector has emerged as a
vital component within contemporary supply chains. The operational efficiency of logistics
systems not only influences investment appeal but also plays a pivotal role in optimizing
business transportation procedures. Technological advancements in this domain not only
bolster transportation capacities but also elevate the quality of logistics operations while
mitigating congestion at key transit points such as ports, border checkpoints, industrial
zones, and urban centers. This research proposes a comprehensive multi-criteria decisionmaking framework that integrates the CRITIC and TOPSIS methodologies to evaluate the
operational efficacy of goods logistics systems across 13 provinces and cities in the
Mekong Delta region. Utilizing CRITIC, the model assigns weights to various criteria
encompassing economic, infrastructural, social, and environmental dimensions,
subsequently employing TOPSIS to rank the logistics networks within these provinces. The
findings of this study furnish local decision-makers with a multifaceted perspective, aiding
in informed decision-making and offering precise insights into the considerations essential
for devising logistics service strategies and policies in the Mekong Delta region.
