Abstract

ABSTRACT: Seaport inefficiencies have caused hindrances on the seaport operations especially on operational disruption which eventually contributes to high cost expenses, unnecessary waste and environmental pollution, and capital losses. As a result, the business and environmental sustainability cannot be attained and affecting the whole supply chain. Therefore, a Lean, Agile, Resilience and Green (LARG) performance model is proposed as a mechanism to curb these issues and improving the competitiveness of seaports. The compatible LARG criteria in seaport supply chain have been identified and analysed using an extensive literature and expert's reviews. In order to meet the aim of the paper, fifteen (15) experts from various maritime background (i.e. academic and industry experts) have been selected to give the relative important of each LARG paradigms by using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The result shows that operational performance has the highest contribution to the seaport supply chain performance followed by economic performance and environmental performance. The outcome of this paper can be utilised as a guideline for seaport practitioners to develop a management tool to boost their performance from the LARG aspect. Furthermore, this LARG management tool can be applied globally as it can be adjusted and adaptable suited the seaport preferences.
