Abstract :
Logistics system is such a complicated system that establish fair and comprehensive evaluation indexes system and method is the the key for the evaluation of logistics. This paper set up a reasonable logistics evaluation system on the basis of cobinating with various factors that closely related to the influencing logistics development and then use the factor analysis of multiple statistical analysis methods to evaluate the logistics level of 31 national provinces, proving that the factors mainly concluding internal and external categories of indexes. Finally, cluster analysis is adopted to classify different logistics levels, and the conclusion can provide reference with national logistics planning and overall arrangement for the government.
