The structure of the block stipulates that containers are stacked on top of each other with only the topmost container directly accessible by a yard crane. This book describes a holistic and integrative approach to container handling in yard blocks to optimise productivity by minimising re-handling operations. The results provide insights for academic scholars as well as for experts from practical terminal planning and operations. The approach presented is two-fold: first, a theoretical foundation of the interdependencies in decision-making is established using mathematical programming. Secondly, operations involving uncertain container arrival information are examined on the basis of a simulation with a rigorous experimental design and statistical evaluation. In this context, the book develops container-handling strategies and analyses the impact of a system for vehicle arrival management – the "Terminal Appointment System". The findings presented in this book are the result of a close cooperation with experts at the port of Hamburg and build on previous research. .Contributions to Management Science,1431-1941Production managementOperations researchManagement scienceComputer simulationEngineering economicsEngineering economyOperations Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519000Operations Research, Management Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26024Simulation and Modelinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000Engineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22016Production management.Operations research.Management science.Computer simulation.Engineering economics.Engineering economy.Operations Management.Operations Research, Management Science.Simulation and Modeling.Engineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketing.658.4034387.1068Covic Filipauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut930153BOOK9910337782403321Container Handling in Automated Yard Blocks2092101UNINA
