Abstract: The straddle carrier routing problem is solved in the context of optimising transport operations at a container terminal. The contribution of this paper lies in the formulation and subsequent development of a Six Sigma approach solution for the problem. This work aims to develop a novel method based on a combined ANP and DEMATEL techniques to help container terminals determine critical Six Sigma transportation plans. An empirical case study is used to explore the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
