This research primarily focuses on the application of RFID technology that allows the outward movement of materials and items in the outward gates. The research has proven that the number of utilized staff and overall time consumption has been effectively decreased. This decrease is then calculated and used to prove that the decrease in time and operational step as well as other items related within the research highlights an increased operational efficiency through the estimation of decreased time, decreased operational step, decreased time consumption as well as decreased amount of congestion occurring at the front outward gate. The outcome of this research has proven that by utilizing all the research parameters, it is determined that by the main characteristics, Johor port efficiency has been proven to be increased.
