PENGARUH PENERAPAN SISTEM ELECTRONIC BILL OF LADINGTERHADAP EFISIENSI WAKTU PADA PROSES DOKUMEN DI PT MITRA PELAYARAN NUSANTARA

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.
