In today’s global world, use of information technologies is strategically important for logistics companies to be competitive and to provide high quality and efficient service to the clients. Use of information technology is crucial especially for international trade and logistic operation synchronization. Increasing levels of international trade make it obligatory to increase the speed of logistic operations. In supply chain management, it is critically important to identify weak links and to minimize weaknesses for better logistics performance. Optimizing the loading capacity together with rapid logistics would increase efficiency of logistic operations. Increasing logistic volume at same quality would be possible by using decision support systems. In this study, a decision support system for complex cargo and cargo loading plan was developed in computer environment in order to increase loading speed of commercial vehicles and containers, results are presented as a case study.
