Abstract: Logistics industrial cluster plays an important role in promoting logistics industry and regional economy. And evaluating the performance of logistics industrial cluster and solving the problems encountered in the development is the top priority of the current study. Applying a cloud model in industrial cluster performance evaluation can not only effectively realize the transformation between qualitative concepts and quantitative figures, but it also makes the evaluation results more accurate and intuitive. First, the related concepts of cloud model are defined; second, the meaning of logistics industrial cluster performance is introduced and the performance evaluation system of regional logistics industrial cluster is established; finally, the cloud model is used to evaluate the performance of regional logistics industrial cluster of Shenyang Economic Zone according to the specific evaluation procedures. The result shows that the performance of logistics industrial cluster in Shenyang Economic Zone ranks between the level of "General" and "Good". It should pay more attention to improving competitiveness and collaboration, and strengthening innovation ability management.

Key words:  cloud model, regional logistics industrial cluster performance, performance evaluation, Shenyang economic zone
