Analyzing the Implementation of the Terminal Operating System on Enhancing the Efficiency of Alexandria Container Terminal

Purpose: A Terminal Operating System (TOS) is essential for efficient and productive terminal operations, as it supports planning, scheduling, and equipment control. Increasingly, functions within the TOS are being automated to enhance overall performance and streamline processes. Container Terminal Operating System stands for Terminal Operating System, a computer-based system used in ports to manage and optimize various terminal operations. Therefore, this research aims at investigating and analyzing the challenges encountered during the implementation of the CTOS at Alexandria Cargo Handling and Container Company, and to propose recommendations for overcoming these challenges and improving the implementation process. Research approach: This research will follow a deductive approach to achieve research aims and objectives through applying SWOT analysis. In addition, it will analyze the impact of implementing CTOS on the efficiency of Alexandria container terminal during the last years from 2019 to 2023 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Research Originality: The research is consideredβthe first empirical study thatβidentifies challenges encountered during the implementation of the CTOS at Alexandria Cargo Handling and Container Company using SWOT analysis and evaluate the efficiency of the company’s terminal. Research impact: This research will determine the challenges encountered during the implementation of the CTOS at Alexandria Cargo Handling and Container Company’s terminals. In addition, this research will propose procedures to measure the efficiency of container portsβwhich can be applied to other container ports using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for the period from 2019 to 2023. Practical impact: The analysis can help Alexandria Cargo Handling and Container Company’s management to increase the efficiency score through identifying challenges encountered during the implementation of the TOS.
