| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 航運管理學系 === 93 === Currently the container slot assignment in the container yard is totally based on personal experience without any theoretical foundation, so the results of the assignment are often inefficient in terms of turn over movements of container and operating cost.
The main purpose of the thesis is to propose an efficient assigning rule in order to reduce turn over movements of container and improve the operational efficiency of the container yard. We confine our research in the export containers of the container yard and the data of one month period is collected from a local container yard.
The literature review, depth interview and FORTRAN programming are the research methodologies in this thesis. Based on related literature review and the depth interview with the administrative staff of the container yard, we summarize the key attributes affecting the number of turn over movements. Following the key attributes, we design the assigning rule of the export containers and convert the assigning rule into FORTRAN program.
By comparing our assigning rule with the actual assigning based on personal experience within one month period, we find that our assigning rule is promising. The number of turn over movement is substantially reduced in two different scenarios. As to future research, more tests should be conducted to see if our assigning rule is still working well in a various situations.
