Managing Container Traffic in Asia Pacific International Seaport

Abstract

This case brings out the logistics planning for managing container traffic in seaports. Such a logistics planning involves the assignment of port (PORT) resources (such as quay cranes, yard cranes, prima movers, etc) to handle the loading/unloading of containers, and the transport of containers between the ships and the yards. The case highlights the advantages of simulating the port operations in the logistics planning.
