Delay in Container Handling Operation and Container Port Competitiveness
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this research is Delay in Container Handling Operation and Container Port Competitiveness using Hybrid ANP and TOPSIS grey method. To reach research goal, the daily data of Khorramshahr container terminal events - including halts and lags in L/U operation, the pertinent causes and the number of port incoming and outgoing vessels - during the period of study (March 21, 2013 to November 20, 2013) have been gathered. In the second stage having considered the detected factors from the first stage, the probability of occurrence of error modes (occurrence frequency), the extent of errors impact on the process after their occurrence (severity) and the probability of their detection before influencing the process (detection) have been scored by experts in form of a scale ranging from one to ten. In the third stage, the mentioned causes have been weighted by use of Analytical Hierarchy Process. Finally, based on the criteria of occurrence frequency, severity and detection possibility, the causes have been prioritized by use of TOPSIS grey method.
