Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 92 === Under the trend of Global Logistics, the marine transport at the international transportation plays an important role. Especially, when containers turn into a characteristic of the composite transportation, containerships become popular. Companies focus on their velocity and competence to the market. How to increase the marine transport effectiveness is therefore an issue. In this research project, the export container will be the studied aim. Containers in the entire export operation process usually need to stay a long <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a> at the yard. Particularly, the larger size of ship is today, the longer <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a> containers wait to be processed. As such, the objective of this research is to improve the operation efficiency of the container yard. Traditionally, the container space allocation is handled based on operator’s experience. Different operators will come out distinct assignments. In addition, their assignments are always not optimal. Hence, we are interested in developing a mathematical model to provide a guideline for the containers allocation. The algorithm could improve the yard operation efficiency. Besides, a yard planning model to plan area size of marshalling yard for containers of multi-voyage is also developing. According to the numerical experiment study results, conclusion and comments will be made at the end for future research reference.
