Abstract

The post-pandemic economic recovery across the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) has been severely hampered by persistent supply chain bottlenecks, cross-border regulatory frictions, and infrastructure vulnerabilities. Building regional logistics resilience requires strategic prioritization of interventions amidst complex, multi-stakeholder operational environments. This study utilizes a Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) methodology to evaluate and rank key strategies for mitigating logistics bottlenecks across GMS economic corridors. Drawing upon empirical evaluations from a panel of 18 regional logistics executives, trade policy experts, and supply chain managers, the framework evaluates four main dimensions and twelve sub-criteria. The results indicate that Digital and Regulatory Efficiency holds the highest global priority weight (0.384), followed by Multimodal Infrastructure Integration (0.291), Organizational Agility (0.187), and Financial Risk Capacity (0.138). At the sub-criterion level, cross-border single-window clearance systems and intermodal transport flexibility emerged as the most critical action areas. Sensitivity analysis confirms the robustness of these findings across varying operational scenarios. The findings provide trade policymakers and logistics operators with an empirical, multi-criteria roadmap to optimize resource allocation, enhance cross-border velocity, and build sustainable supply chain resilience in the post-pandemic era.
