A port is one of the important infrastructures in a nation’s economy. One of <br /> <br /> performance measures in port is dwelling time. On August 2017, the average of <br /> <br /> dwelling time at Tanjung Priok Port is 4.24 days. Meanwhile, the average of <br /> <br /> dwelling time from 2014 to 2017 are 4.26 days, 3.23 days, and 3.75 days. Those <br /> <br /> data show the dwelling time that tend to decline each year. However, dwelling <br /> <br /> time still becomes a crucial problems since it related with the national logistics <br /> <br /> cost. <br /> <br /> One of the root cause of the length of dwelling time is the lack coordination <br /> <br /> among actors in import process. Indonesian government has attempted to reduce <br /> <br /> the dwelling time by improving the infrastructures, reforming the bureaucracy, <br /> <br /> issuing regulation, but paid little attention in straightening coordination <br /> <br /> mechanism among actors. On the other hand a few studies have been conducted <br /> <br /> on port management which integrate all seaport areas (sea side, yard side, and <br /> <br /> land side), moreover in coordination mechanisms related to the dwelling time. <br /> <br /> Most of the research are done partially using analytical approach. One of the <br /> <br /> weaknesses of the previous integrated research is related to information sharing <br /> <br /> and interaction among actors dealing with system performance measure. <br /> <br /> Therefore the need of study, explaining how is coordination among actors in <br /> <br /> managing container flow from the port to the port gate out, is inevitable. <br /> <br /> The development of coordination model for managing import container was <br /> <br /> conducted in three stages. The first stage is the development of coordination <br /> <br /> model that managing business process improvement. The process improvement <br /> <br /> uses port business model development along with business process improvement <br /> <br /> approach. The basis of the coordination model development are existing port <br /> <br /> coordination, benchmark coordination, and literature business model. The <br /> <br /> second stage is the improvement of coordination mechanisms among actors <br /> <br /> involved in port import process. The coordination mechanisms improvement uses <br /> <br /> the coordination framework as enabler of coordination model developed in first <br /> <br /> stage. The last stage is the development of coordination mechanisms simulation <br /> <br /> model. This simulation model aims to test whether the dwelling time target in the <br /> <br /> second stage model is achieved or not. The research results comprise three main model i.e. coordination model, <br /> <br /> coordination mechanisms model, and coordination mechanisms simulation model. <br /> <br /> Coordination models for Tanjung Priok port target the dwelling time between 1.5 <br /> <br /> and 3 days. When the target of dwelling time is 1.5 days, the coordination model <br /> <br /> reduces 15% of the number of import processes and 75% of the number of <br /> <br /> document involved. Three coordination models developed in first stage <br /> <br /> implicated in producing three coordination mechanisms models. The three <br /> <br /> alternative coordination mechanisms models are essentially a gradation of the <br /> <br /> loose up to tight mechanisms coordination in terms of government involvement. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile the experiment results of coordination mechanisms simulation model <br /> <br /> is the dwelling time with a mean of 1.375 days. The dwelling time consists of QC <br /> <br /> service time with a mean of 0.619 minutes, internal truck transport time with a <br /> <br /> mean of 1.92 minutes, RTG service time with a mean of 5.247 minutes, SPPB <br /> <br /> document processing time with a mean of 9.65 hours, DO document processing <br /> <br /> time with a mean of 21.591 minutes, goods release planning time with a mean of <br /> <br /> 0.97 days, SP2 document processing time with a mean of 21.74 minutes, external <br /> <br /> truck transport time outside the terminal with a mean of 2.39 hours, and external <br /> <br /> truck transport time inside the terminal with a mean of 2.93 hours. <br /> <br /> The research is subjected to some limitations. This research has not yet <br /> <br /> considered collective learning in developing coordination mechanisms. Besides, <br /> <br /> this research only considers information exchange and interaction among actors/ <br /> <br /> organizations. The future research can be directed to develop some negotiation <br /> <br /> model as one of theories in reaching agreement. Especially in simulation model <br /> <br /> development, the research has not considered more precision planning horizon in <br /> <br /> goods release management and sensitivity analysis of parameter and <br /> <br /> coordination changes.
