Abstract |
|
The present paper aims to identify the impact of effective logistics management on achieving a competitive advantage at the maritime ports customs directorate in Bahrain logistics zone. One hundred and twenty seven employees were surveyed. The analysis is based on the outcomes of the questionnaire that was given out to a representative sample of the employees of the maritime ports customs directorate in the Bahrain logistics zone. The researchers hypothesized that there was a causal relationship between the dimensions of effective logistics management (warehousing, transportation and supply) and competitive advantage (cost, quality, time and innovation) at the maritime ports customs directorate in Bahrain logistics zone. The results showed that the hypothesis was accepted. Moreover, there were no significant differences related to the level of applying effective logistics management (warehousing, supply and transportation) and competitive advantage (cost, quality, time and innovation) at the maritime ports customs directorate in Bahrain logistics zone due to the employees’ demographic variables of gender, age, qualification, position and years of experience.
