Abstract
The Physical Internet (PI) is an emerging paradigm that enhances supply chain efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability through modular, standardized, and digitally connected systems. However, implementation remains limited due to gaps in technological readiness, organizational capability, and regulatory coherence. This study aims to identify practical readiness indicators to support PI adoption. A systematic literature review and thematic analysis were conducted, structured around the five development areas defined in the 2024 ALICE Roadmap: PI Nodes, PI Networks, the System of Logistics Networks, Access and Adoption, and Governance. The analysis yielded 15 key readiness aspects, which were translated into measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) across technical, organizational, and institutional domains. These indicators provide a structured foundation for assessing readiness, identifying gaps, and supporting strategic investment planning. This research contributes the first structured indicator set aligned with the ALICE model, enhancing the practical applicability of PI readiness assessment in diverse logistics contexts.
