Collaborative Forecasting and Replenishment (CFAR) is a new interorganizational system that enables retailers and manufacturers to forecast demand and schedule production jointly. The capabilities of CFAR exceed those of the traditional ED1 because CFAR allows exchange of complex decision support models and manufacturerhetailer strategies. The proponents of CFAR claim that the fastest way for r…

One result of the continuing current competitive environment in Australia is cost pressure on the supply of manufacturing commodities such as anhydrous sodium sulphate. Commodity suppliers do not have much scope for providing value-added services. Anhydrous sodium sulphate, for example, is mostly brought to the customer’s attention when negative service characteristics occur – stocks run lo…

Cargo Work For Maritime Operations

The world of cargo operations has changed considerably from the days of the open stowage of merchandise. Unitized cargoes in the form of ‘containers’ or Roll-on, Roll-off cargoes and pallatization have generated a need for alternative handling methods and changing procedures. The work of the stevedore/longshoreman has moved on to a vastly different role to that previously employed in gener…

PORT OPERATIONS, PLANNING AND LOGISTICS

Ports are critical infrastructure resources and serve a key role in the transportation of freight and people. With more than 80% of international trade by volume being carried by sea, ports are vital for seaborne trade and international commerce. Ports are the critical nodal interfaces where maritime transport connects with other modes of tra sport and where trading, distribution and logistics…

A characterization of a business process

Hess and Oesterle (1996) provide a detailed comparison of 12 approaches to business process reengineering (BPR). Common themes to each method are the gathering of information, some characterization of the business process that is being reengineered followed by analysis and process modification. However, techniques for characterizing business processes are not yet well established. This paper ta…

Application of El Farol model for managing marine terminal gate congestio

Truck queuing at marine terminal gates has long been recognized as a source of emissions problem due to the large number of trucks idling. For this reason, there is a great deal of interest among the different stakeholders to lessen the severity of the problem. An approach being experimented by some terminals to reduce truck queuing at the terminal is to provide live views of their gates via we…

Supply chain risks: a review and typology

Supply chain security (SCS), as a component of an organization’s overall supply chain risk management strategy, has become a critical factor for businesses and government agencies since September 11, 2001, yet little empirical research supports policy or practice for the field. Therefore, this paper develops and presents a categorization of SCS based on existing research. This categorization …

Efficient handling of containers at a terminal can reduce the overall vessel sojourn times and minimise operational costs. The internal transport of containers in these terminals is performed by vehicles that share a common guide path. The throughput capacity of a terminal may increase by increasing the number of vehicles; however, simultaneously congestion may reduce the effective vehicle spee…

One of great challenges in seaport management is how to handle containers under reshuffling, called reshuffles. Repositioning reshuffles in a bay (internal reshuffling) can improve the efficiency of quay cranes and help ports to reduce ship turn-around time. This paper studies the quay crane double-cycling problem with internal-reshuffling operations, and presents a fast solution algorith…

Measuring logistics performance has traditionally focused on operational areas. For example in a warehouse pallets per hour is the typical measure for receiving and despatch; cartons per hour for picking, replenishment, put away and overall throughput; and service levels are calculated by dividing cartons requested by cartons shipped. A more sophisticated operation will generate additional meas…
