Abstract
Efficiency is critical to economic and business development. In the Batam free trade zone, investment and trade traffic are determined by efficiency in logistics management. This research aims to explore key logistics management problems and identify strategic opportunities to improve logistics management in the Batam Free Trade Zone. The methods used in this research were the Miles and Huberman method and the Root-Cause-Analysis (RCA) as the analysis tool. The research found that the Batam Free Trade Zone has obstacles to overcome to improve the competitiveness of the free trade zone. This endeavor is through changes in rules and frameworks. Despite these measures, the logistics ecosystem in Batam has primarily become a door-to-door logistics ecosystem, which is different from expectations. Thus, the impact of this research is to overcome the obstacles faced by re-evaluating logistics planning from national to local planning.
