What you receive
A flow baseline and operating options.
Constraint analysis
The relationship between arrival patterns, service capacity and observed queues.
Operating scenario comparison
Potential changes assessed with explicit assumptions and the affected operating teams.
Intervention review
Subsequent results compared with the baseline, including changes in demand and conditions.
An illustrative engagement
A congested terminal gate
A terminal review tests whether arrival clustering, gate staffing or yard availability explains long truck turnaround before selecting an intervention.

How it works
From the source to the receiving team.
- 01
Set the journey boundary
Agree the terminal, cargo flow, event definitions and period to examine.
- 02
Validate the event record
Match identifiers and timestamps, inspect missing stages and establish a baseline.
- 03
Test operating options
Compare appointment, capacity or scheduling alternatives with the responsible teams.
- 04
Evaluate an approved change
Measure the full journey after implementation and record relevant contextual changes.
Scope & evaluation

Use the details below to assess fit with your workflow.
01 Evidence requirements5 inputs
- Terminal and gate event exports
- Appointment and arrival records
- Authorised vehicle movement data
- Yard, loading and weighbridge events
- Operating schedules and resource availability
02 Evaluation measures4 measures
- Median and high-percentile total turnaround
- Queue and service time by stage
- Arrival and processing variability
- Throughput within the agreed service boundary
03 Scope and outputs in detail
A landside review begins by agreeing the boundaries of the truck journey. The programme connects authorised timestamps and operational records, identifies where variation accumulates and evaluates changes such as appointment rules, staffing, gate allocation or operating windows.
Outputs to assess
- A journey-stage baseline
- A comparison of operating options
- An evaluation plan for the approved intervention
Scope, permissions, integrations and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins. Your authorised team retains the institutional decision.
Questions
Can the analysis work with an existing terminal system?
Yes. The initial scope uses authorised exports from the relevant systems. Any recurring interface is agreed with the terminal and system owner.
How are queues outside the gate treated?
The scope defines the complete journey and available observation points. External waiting is included where suitable evidence exists; missing coverage remains visible.
How do you establish whether a change helped?
The evaluation compares agreed measures with the baseline while examining demand, operating conditions and other changes. The design is agreed before the intervention where practical.
