Evaluating the inter-temporal efficiency trends of international container terminals using data envelopment analysis

Evaluation of Investment Impact on Port Efficiency: Berthing Time Difference as a Performance Indicator

“…Although these studies approach the matter in the same aim, their samples and input/output selections for evaluating efficiency differs. Among these researches, some of them took it a step further and carried out benchmark analysis as well [11,12,13,14,15]. By doing so, the findings of these researches have provided valuable information for the inefficient ports by indicating the efficient ports which they should emulate.…”

Application of AHP/EVAMIX Method for Decision Making in the Industrial Environment

“…Analysis of AGV systems for two container yard system is done in Liu and Jula [54]. Evaluation of international container terminals using DEA is proposed by Min and Park in [55]. Pjevcevic and Vukadinovic in [56] characterization of the AGV dispatching rules is discussed.…”

Determinants of scale efficiency in the Brazilian third-party logistics industry from 2001 to 2009

“…This shortcoming clearly suggests a void to be filled. It must be noted, however, that DEA has already been satisfactorily employed in other segments that deal directly with logistics, such as the airline industry, (Schefczyk, 1993), airports (Pacheco & Fernandes, 2003), road passenger transport (Odeck & Alkadi, 2001), container terminals (Cullinane, Song, & Wang, 2005;Min & Park, 2005;Turner, Windle, & Dressner, 2004;Wang, Song, & Cullinane, 2002), ports in general (Panayides et al, 2009) and large petroleum distribution networks (Ross & Droge, 2004 As mentioned, studies that discuss the application of DEA, specifically in the 3PL sector, are scarce and relatively recent. Min and Joo (2006), for example, applied the technique to a group of six leading US-based 3PLs.…”
