Analysing Materials Handling Needs in Concurrent/Simultaneous Engineering

In simultaneous/concurrent engineering (SE/CE), many functions are performed concurrently; however, manufacturing logistics design is seldom considered. Presents an integrated methodology for the design of manufacturing logistics and links it with early phases of product design. The concept of “adaptability factor” is proposed, linking choice of manufacturing technology to handling operatio…

A generalized two-sex logistic model

We provide a generalization of the logistic two-sex model with ephemeral pair-bonds and with stable couples without assuming any specific mathematical form for fertility, mortality and the mating function. In particular, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the fertility/mortality density-dependent ratio that ensures the existence of the logistic behaviour. Several differences a…

Hybrid approach for container terminals performances evaluation and analysis

Turnaround time, defined as the total time spent by a vessel within the port area, is one of the most important key performance measures for a container terminal. In this paper, the authors propose a hybrid approach based on simulation and genetic algorithms to investigate vessels’ turnaround time in a real container terminal under different scenarios characterised by increases in containers …

A meta-analysis of DEA and SFA studies of the technical efficiency of seaport

This paper presents a meta-analysis of variations in seaports’ Mean Technical Efficiency (MTE) scores based on 40 studies published in refereed academic journals. We link the variation in estimated MTE scores to differences in the following factors: the frontier methodology used, which essentially are the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA); regions wher…

Trojan horses of decline : hidden threats in your business model and how to r…

Most management literature addresses the symptoms of corporate collapse. But René R. Seyger takes another approach in Trojan Horses of Decline, drilling down the strategic heart of downfall. The roots of decline are not found in external forces like economic downturns. Decline's roots lie deep within companies, and therefore well within a company's sphere of control. By harnessing the metaphor…

Analysis of proper capacity at Jakarta International Container Terminal

As a facility with high capital investment, container terminal tends to be operated with maximum capacity by using high utilization of facilities and equipment rather than a proper throughput. However, a high utilization is leading to the ships waiting time and as consequence lowering the service level. Therefore a study is needed to determine the proper capacity by considering the interest of …

U.S. import/export container flow modeling and disruption analysis

International containerized freight movement is a vital part of the supply chain for many companies, anda critical element of moving consumer goods to points of retail sale within the U.S. Containerized imports also present a clear security concern (e.g., terrorists attempting to ship “dirty bombs,” chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons, into the U.S. in a shipping container). The go…

Tactical planning models for managing container flow and ship deployment

This paper addresses two practical problems from a liner shipping company, i.e. the container flow management problem and the ship deployment problem, at the tactical planning level. A sequential model and a joint optimisation model are formulated to solve the problems. Our results show that the company should implement the joint optimisation model at the tactical planning level to improve the …

This paper applies a ‘port function matrix’ to analyse the administrative and ownership structures of major container ports in Asia. The relative efficiency of these ports is then assessed using the cross-sectional and panel data versions of the ‘stochastic frontier model’. The estimated efficiency measures are broadly similar for the two versions of the model tested. From the results o…

Innovating business models and attracting different intellectual capabilities

When practicing innovation, attracting different intellectual capabilities (ICAs) is extremely important. The reasoning is that innovation necessitates different ICA that can think differently together. Continuous pressure on finding, attracting and applying ‘‘the right intellectual capability’’ related to the task is interesting. This article aims to examine how to attract and apply IC…

Estimating an origin–destination table for US imports of waterborne contain…

Containerized freight imports into the US are growing at an average of 10% per year. This traffic is concentrated at a small number of US seaports. It is therefore important to have an accurate understanding of the flow of containers from their origin country through these seaports to their final destination. This paper develops an optimization model to estimate route flows and a corresponding …
