A Conceptual Framework for Measuring the Impact of LARG Practices on Logistics Performance

The performance of industrial activities is being challenged by the complexity, uncertainty, and volatility of economic-industrial contexts. Moreover, organizations are increasingly compelled to address environmental issues by adopting more sustainable practices that reduce resource usage and waste. Within this context, logistics is also undergoing a strategic review to enable efficient, effective, flexible, and environmentally friendly physical flows. To achieve these objectives, the integration of Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) paradigms is proposed as a solution, offering specific problem-solving capabilities. While the evaluation of LARG practices has been discussed in various industrial contexts, such as supply chain management and manufacturing, its application to logistics remains understudied. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the individual contributions of LARG practices and their relationship with logistics activities by assessing their level of integration. Based on this analysis, we propose a conceptual framework to evaluate the impact of LARG practices on logistics performance. The research findings can serve as a preliminary tool for measuring lean, agile, resilient, and green indicators within logistics activities and the transport sector.
