Information System Analysis on Cargo Supply Chain Shipment for Decision Making in Bahrain Logistics Zone

Abstract

Transitional country's economy vastly relies on the port logistics service industry. In Bahrain, the Khalifa Bin Salman Port made a significant contribution across the commercial zone, where information systems were heavily involved in logistics. The performance of port logistic management in the supply chain is highly dependent on the decision-making process, which is equipped with transshipment data. The improvement and relevant actions within the logistic region are borne by analytic port transshipment data. The aim of this research finding the decision-making process and how information system are involved for further direction with the port logistic in supply chain approach. This study uses statistical observation methods to examine port logistic activities to make decisions, while information system entirely supports for comparison. Analytical research contributes to logistic performance when the decision-making process becomes crucial important at port logistic activities that flow as vehicle comparison in the Bahrain Port Logistic Zone. Implication of the research also influences logistic performance in terms of cost, time, and reliability by sorting out the appropriate decision-making. As a consequence, generated result of decision making highly contribute to the short- and long-term collaboration agreements among companies from its previous transshipment dataset.
