    Abstract

    In modern industry there are well defined methods for planning and
    optimising the efficiency of the production. However, when looking at supply
    chain operations there often are problems with lack of communication and
    planning between nodes. By not communicating the risk of creating non-value
    adding work also increases as the organisations are not in sync. So the focus in
    this paper is on how information can improve the operations of a container terminal.
    It is found that focusing on information about the containers and creating
    a plan via time slots for the arriving trucks that some of the most obvious problems
    can be minimized.
