With the actualization of the policy of economy system innovation and opening to the world, the trade between our country and other nations grows quickly, and the container throughput in terminal keeps increasing with high speed. Especially* after China joined the WTO, the container transport in our country faces great development opportunity and the throughput in each main container terminal keeps rising accordingly.At the same time, a widespread problem terminal operators meet is that, in order to save the cost, the shipping company requires the terminal operator to improve the ability of handling large container vessels, reduce the time of the vessel settling in port and increase the handling performance in an hour when or before the development of the upsizing container ship; on the other hand, in order to attract vessels to berth, terminal operators should provide the most competitive handling efficiency and service, reduce the operation cost in utmost and improve the enterprise's competitiveness.The above-mentioned problem is not only related to the harbor waterway, the fore-dock depth, the amount and performance of the fore-dock machine, the process and efficiency of loading and discharging as well as the ingathering and outputting system, multi-transportation management and the policy of the port etc. This thesis focuses on the method to deal with the problem on optimizing the terminal operation process and reforming the terminal handling process mode. And the development and application of BPR and the many merits of WITNESS make sure that the research on this problem boasts the development in theory and value in practice.Firstly, the thesis presents a comprehensive summarization on BPR, computer simulation language and improving the management level of container terminal, which makes sure that the research on this problem boasts the basis in theory and* the method in practice.Secondly, the structure and characteristic of container terminal's production system are analyzed and the fore-dock equipment and the operation process of the container terminal in details are discussed. The development of the terminal"7BPRhandling process mode and the main factors for improving the operation efficiency and the optimizing of the terminal operation process at this stage and the reforming object of the terminal handling mode are analyzed. The necessity of research on shore crane operation mode that is related to the truck paging operation mode is raised.Thirdly, the modeling theory of optimizing the container terminal operation- BPR is analyzed, and then BPR is utilized to analyze the container terminal operation. Based on this, method ABC is applied to analyze the present terminal operation, finding out the bottleneck problem of the transferring progress and probing into the bottleneck problem of the terminal operation. According to the recurring networking theory, the thesis realizes to develop the system model of container terminal's production. It can help terminal operators to determine dependable and economic scheme for allocating and managing working machines of the container terminals to simulate the established models of the shore crane operation system and the truck operation system.Fourthly, utilizing the WITNESS software, the author accomplishes simulation of the shore crane operation system and the truck operation system and can realize planar computer dynamic simulation. The author manages to simulate the dynamic process of ship's arrival/berthing, load/unload container, truck convey and load/unload in container yards and ship's departure.Finally, according to analysis of the pick-up modeling indication in shore crane operation system and the truck paging system, the thesis accomplishes the choice of different schemes and helps terminal operators to choose the rational management modes of crane and truck and to improve the terminal handling efficiency.Guan Xiuguang (Transportation Planning and Management)Directed by Liu Wenbai (Professor)...
