AN ERP APPROACH FOR CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATING SYSTEMS

This paper presents an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system approach for a container terminal. The workflow of a container terminal is clustered, and the business process to generate the best workflows is analyzed. The integrated database is designed to eliminate redundancy. The planning capability is tightly linked with data flow from client entities such as shipping companies. ERP systems are designed to handle existing problems of a container terminal operation caused by lack of integration. The ERP approach not only resolves the problems of container terminal organization, but also promotes adoption of information systems for container terminals without operating systems.
