OPERA 3C: Yard Space & Capacity Optimization for combinatorial, continuous and chaotic layouts.
Completely overhauling the operational strategy to gain in 4 major areas: Space, productivity, resources, and carbon footprint.
The MGPS Method
— Without MGPS: Classic Operation (Right side)
Efficient task processing, security (Storage by Import/Export category)
• 6 straddle carriers assigned to one vessel (per vessel operation)
• empty moves (deadheading),
• No space gain,
• No possibility for improvement,
• Quickly overwhelmed,
• High machine consumption,
• Wasted time.
— With MGPS: OPERA 3C Operation (Left side)
Task processing (Event-driven)
• 2 fewer Straddle Carriers,
• No empty runs,
• Space optimization,
• Continuous improvement,
• No misplaced containers (no lost-in-yard events),
• Low machine consumption,
• Gains in time and productivity.
Calculation Elements
THROUGHPUT CAPACITY (TEU/year)
• (360 / (DWT x 1.27)) x NB GS x Stock Height x Saturation Coeff.
Duration
• 360 days: Calculation based on 360 working days, excluding 5 holidays.
DWT
• DWT (Dwell Time): Container parking time, directly linked to terminal capacity. The longer containers stay, the fewer new containers the terminal can handle. It is therefore crucial to evacuate containers quickly to free up space and increase traffic.
Factor
• 1.27: Factor commonly used to reflect weekend traffic peaks.
Optimization
• OPERA 3C allows for fully mixed terminal usage thanks to zero-error handling.
