Measuring Efficiency And Productivity Using Dea Model For Container Terminals In Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Ever since higher utilization of container handling, terminal expansion is essential for future demand as throughputs increase in line with new generation of mega-vessels. The attention is focused on the performance of the container terminal by ascending demand for local and international container movements. Therefore, efficiency and productivity are significant indicators for terminal performance.The aim of the research provides three (3) objectives, from classifying of container terminal resources, measuring empirically the efficiency and productivity of container terminals with allocated resources to forecasting container terminal throughputs by ports. This research applies both models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique; Charnes, Cooper and Rhode (CCR) and Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC). The output-orientated models are applicable and in line for container terminal operation. In addition, forecasting the terminals throughputs is using E-Views
