Analysis of the efficiency of port container terminals with the use of the Data Envelopment Analysis method of relative productivity evaluation
DOI 10.1515/mspe-2017-0001
Abstract: The article presents a method for evaluating the efficiency of port container terminals. The research was conducted for nine European terminals which use different handling technologies. The terminals have been divided due to the level of automation of transport processes. In the efficiency research DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method is applied, that was previously used in studies of the relative productivity in the industry. This method allows you to multicriteria pro-cess analysis based on the properly selected production system model processing input parameters on output. Conclusions from analysis can be a ground for making a decision on organizational or investment issues.
Keywords: container terminals, transport efficiency, transport system modelling
