Abstract: Given the wide variety and complexity to select evaluation metrics of the logistics performance those allow organizations to monitor their own advance towards the improvement of their activities, storage and delivery of finished products supply. In this work we present a scaler model for its application in systems of logistics performance measurement in tier supplier, non-transnational and small and Medium Enterprises. This model suggests the application of logistical metrics by stages, in an evolutionary way, going up from one state to another gradually, moving the conduct, the purpose and the attitude towards the application of metrics. Each one of the metrics indicates another set of metrics with determined pertinent qualities to the stage of evolution to which they are parallel to activities to be extended in each one of the stages. A revision of the literature to identify pertinent logistical metrics in each stage has been necessary for the proposal of the model.
