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 …

A non-linear traffic flow-based queuing model to estimate container terminal …

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…

A polynomial-time heuristic for the quay crane double-cycling problem with in…

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…

Benchmarking supply chain operations

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…

This paper studies the storage yard management problem in a busy transshipment hub, where intense loading and unloading activities have to be considered at the same time. The need to handle huge volumes of container traffic and the scarcity of land in the container port area pose serious challeng for the port operator to provide efficient services. A consignment strategy with a static yard temp…

An optimization model for storage yard management in transshipment hubs

This paper studies a yard storage allocation problem in a transshipment hub where there is a great number of loading and unloading activities. The primary challenge is to efficiently shift containers between the vessels and the storage area so that reshuffling and traffic congestion is minimized. In particular, to reduce reshuffling, a consignment strategy is used. This strategy groups unloaded…

Container terminals and terminal operations

Over the recent years, the use of containers for intercontinental maritime transport has dramatically increased. Figure 1 exhibits the growth of world container turnover. Starting with 50 million twenty feet equivalent unit (TEU) in 1985, world container turnover has reached more than 350 million TEU in 2004. A further continuous increase is expected in the upcoming years, especially between As…

Defining supply chain management: a historical perspective and practical guid…

Interest in supply chain management has steadily increased since the 1980s when firms saw the benefits of collaborative relationships within and beyond their own organization. Firms are finding that they can no longer compete effectively in isolation of their suppliers or other entities in the supply chain. A number of definitions of supply chain management have been proposed in the literature …

Mastery of operational competencies in the context of supply chain management

According to the most recent theories, the competitiveness of organizations is based on the development of competencies. Core competencies result from greater mastery than competitors of organizational abilities valued by customers. This paper seeks to investigate how a more thorough integration of the supply chain may be associated with greater mastery of operational competencies .
