Optimization of the Trucks Transit in Marsa Maroc Terminal

Dr. Youssef Boulaksil

Fall Term
2013

Executive Summary The container terminal is a flat modal form that binds the ship to truck, train or to another vessel in the case of transshipment. This connection is done via interfaces: truck / area inter exchange, train / buffer zone, ship / dock. Thus, the major container flows are channeled to or from this system are the result or the source of a multitude of internal flow system (sorting, inspection, shifting, connection, full containers, empty containers). These flows are treated with different tools and different locations around the terminal. That means, the container terminal is to optimize the processing of massive volumes of containers in order to achieve economies of scale (749,000 TEUs'' 20-foot equivalent'' per year), improving the use of resources and more special equipments that are expensive. In fact, responsible for handling division have the prospect of having a solution to balancing and optimization of the supply chain through the design of equipment used (tractors) to import and export in delivery to the end customer. My final project study is in the heart of this approach. It has as an objective, the study of solutions that meet the diverse needs. To do this, I had some operational research to minimize the process of delivery of containers to customers. Then, I implemented a simulation of the problem, with Siman-Arena software, allowing the validation of the theoretical results. Finally, an application in the field was conducted.
