Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of the Electronic Bill
of Lading (e-BL) system on time efficiency in document processing at PT Mitra Pelayaran
Nusantara. The study was motivated by the existence of various obstacles in manual
document management processes, which often result in delays, higher operational costs,
and risks of document loss and damage. The implementation of the e-BL system is
expected to improve time efficiency through the digitalization of documentation
processes.
This research employed a quantitative method. Data were collected through
questionnaires distributed to 40 respondents. The data were analyzed using validity,
reliability, normality, linearity, heteroscedasticity, simple linear regression, t-test, and
coefficient of determination tests with the assistance of SPSS version 30.
The results indicate that the implementation of the Electronic Bill of Lading
system has a positive and significant effect on time efficiency in document processing at
PT Mitra Pelayaran Nusantara. This is evidenced by a calculated t-value of 12.784,
which is greater than the t-table value of 1.685, with a significance level of less than
0.001. The correlation coefficient value of 0.901 indicates a very strong relationship
between the two variables. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R2) value of
0.811 indicates that the implementation of the e-BL system explains 81.1% of the
variation in time efficiency, while the remaining 18.9% is influenced by other factors not
examined in this study. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the better the
implementation of the Electronic Bill of Lading system, the higher the level of time
efficiency achieved in document processing at PT Mitra Pelayaran Nusantara.
