Abstract

We propose to assess the use of information systems through the Lean philosophy in various maritime and port companies. Interviews were conducted with shipping agents, consignees and port authorities of the major maritime port of Nantes-St-Nazaire in France. We demonstrated that there are sources of waste in the use of port information systems. The evaluation guide proposed can be generalized to all types of businesses using information technology. Highlighting potential savings deposits with the Lean approach should improve the flexibility of port information systems.
