Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:2062Location: Abstract: The use of simulation in evaluating the impact of productivity improvement activities at the McDuffie Coal Terminal located at the Alabama State Docks in Mobile, Alabama, is discussed. Simulations are being employed for port and terminal operations at an increasing rate because of the value derived as decision support tools. A description of the productivity improvement events, the conceptual framework of the simulation model, and an analysis of the simulation results are presented.
