Abstract: |
The extension and application of a
queuing network model to the management of core logistic processes at the Gioia Tauro marine container
terminal is presented. Real features incorporated in the model require
simulation to solve it. A manager-friendly simulator is designed for the real
case study, under the constraint of guaranteeing a finer representation of:
the congestion phenomenon at the port channel; the port admission policy for
newly arrived vessels in the roadstead; the management of berthing slots; the
assignment of cranes for discharge/loading operations. The application
software is presented through a detailed discussion of its features, as these
appear on panel for system definition and analysis. The simulator computes
point and interval estimates for system performance measures. Statistical
computations are based upon the issue of batching elementary observations
either within the same run or across multiple runs. Simulation experiments
are presented and discussed with the aim of recommending a cost-effective
method for interval estimates in quantitative scenario analysis. |
