Abstract

Information systems have been introduced to accumulate real-time tracking data on containers and transporters at container terminals in ports. Logistics managers of container terminals need an intelligent tool to analyze the performance of highly complex and large logistics systems using of the accumulated real-time tracking data. This paper addresses proposing a procedure of analyzing the performance at a real container terminal, especially by making use of the electronic real-time tracking data that is accumulated from united terminal IMSs (IMS: information management system). To analyze the operations performance, all of the operational activities of an actual container terminal in Japan are simulated. It is found that the information obtained by performing simulation is effective for analyzing the performance of the operation.
