Abstract: The study investigates logistics potential of Thai industry in order to identify gap and needs of improvement if the concept of Logistics 4.0 is to be adopted. The study uses data from Thailand logistics scorecard database, comprising of 100 Thai companies, focusing on 5 logistics areas and 23 logistics potential items.
