**6. Evaluation of logistics**

Until recently, logistic operations were evaluated based on cost and speed criteria. The situation is different now, where sustainability was introduced in the evaluation criteria [15]. Logistics is a human activity and impacts the environment through its components purchasing, inventory, warehousing, and transportation. Decisionmaking becomes more important in logistic and supply chain management, which may vary from single quantitative criterion to multi-criteria problems. Many problems in logistic management such as supplier selection, purchasing, manufacturing, distribution, collaboration, performance management, and design are covered by suitable multiple criteria decision-making approaches. Mohsen and Murat [16] developed an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methodology to perform a multi-criteria evaluation of freight forwarders. It analyzes different criteria that would be employed in the evaluation and selection of forwarders.

Companies' competitiveness rely on their ability to ship their products around the globe at the right time in a perfect physical situation. It is suggested that logistic evaluation is based on a multi-criteria in terms of transit time, quality of service, expertise and specialized service, network, competitive prices, technology and information, and sustainability criteria.
