Abstract

One of the container port performance is the ratio of Effective Time to Berth Time (ET:BT). A thorough study of all the ground handling processes is required to improve it. This study aimed to design proposed improvements to the performance of the ground handling process. Data collection was carried out by direct observation through interviews, as well as measuring time using a stopwatch, and various manual distance measurements. Data obtained were analyzed by using Big Picture Mapping (BPM) followed by Process Activity Mapping (PAM). Activities that categorized to be non-value added (NVA) are examined in detail using the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) method and 5 Why's Analysis. Results obtained are several factors that cause waste. These factors, then, would be reviewed to produce four classifications of improvement recommendations namely scheduling, management, human error and tools/facilities. After knowing the causes of various activities that did not add value to the process, then the improvement proposals were ready to be made.
