Measuring and Increasing the Productivity Model on Maritime Container Terminals

If system productivity is to be increased and terminal capacity optimized, maritime container terminal optimization possibilities must be explored. In this paper, a maritime container terminal productivity perspective is provided - factors affecting elements of productivity, measurement methodology, and how measurement is performed. There is also description of some productivity improvement actions under planning service and productivity specialist control which do not require special investments. A vast number of economic and operational decisions are involved in the complex process of maritime container terminal management. To increase productivity, management must develop productivity measurement details and strategies and establish an adequate decision support model. New technology and work rule adoption over the long term is facilitated by the proposed model, but at the same time, middle and short-term strategy implementation is enabled so that productivity is increased in a manner consistent with the entire system's fundamental interests. A special working place for the productivity quality manager is proposed in this paper in this context, which should allow different quickly adoptable strategies and solutions to develop. Terminal managers can be supported by the person in this important planning role in evaluating best development and optimization decisions.
