What is it about?

a study focus on determining the best locations for dry ports in the Surabaya and Teluk Lamong areas. It involves using a combination of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques and the Uncapacitated Fixed Charge Location Problem model. MCDM helps evaluate and rank different location options based on multiple criteria, while the Uncapacitated Fixed Charge Location Problem model addresses the logistical and cost aspects of site selection. The goal is to identify optimal dry port locations that enhance efficiency and reduce costs for container terminal operations.
