Abstract

Today, overall industry has been operated on the basis of information technology and has increased the investment on it. In the logistics industry, the integrated material handling information network has become important more and more and the investment on the informatization has been increased to operate efficiently. In the previous literature, most of the measures for the efficiency of container terminals were the variables such as fixed assets of equipments. There has not been any research effort toward examining the effect of informatization level on the efficiency. This work describes the importance on the efficiency evaluation considering the informatization level to in a container terminal and the relative efficiency level is measured using data envelopment analysis and bootstrap.
