Effective Cargo Ports Factors for Logistics Distribution and Ergonomics Workplace by the Relative Importance Index (RII)

Abstract

The way a nation’s economy becomes more international and global is greatly influenced by its logistics system. Logistics systems are becoming increasingly crucial as the world rapidly changes. In order to improve the Port of Tanjung Priok’s operations, logistics distribution, and ergonomic issues, this study investigates these key factors. We used the Relative Importance Index (RII) method to collect data by administering questionnaires to experts in ergonomics, logistics, and cargo ports. With an RII of 0.96, the study concluded that the port’s capacity to manage various kinds of cargo and its operational effectiveness were the most crucial elements. Strategic alliances with logistics and shipping firms had an excellent RII score of 0.87. Managing hazardous materials and safeguarding data have emerged as key concerns in logistics distribution. From an ergonomic perspective, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and emergency training were the most important factors contributing to a RII score of 0.85. The research indicates that operational efficiency, technology, safety regulations, and strategic alliances are crucial for improving cargo port performance, but environmental sustainability, albeit significant, is a secondary priority.
