And can we effectively define and measure performance across the range of factors that determine overall container terminal quality? In the case of Container Terminal Operation, Best Practices have been captured and defined in a management system supported by a set of key performance indicators. These KPI's of which there are 80 in total are measured using benchmarks built up by 150 of the world's leading container terminals. The process is validated by certification. Known as the Container Terminal Quality Indicator (CTQI) the tool is today deployed as a performance management system and Continuous Improvement tool at many of the world's leading container terminals. Ports in Germany, Columbia and Estonia have been successfully certified by Germanischer Lloyd Certification the Institutes Certification partner in the use of the system with up to 12 more ports currently progressing towards certification. The underlying intellectual property which informs CTQI is being used in the building of two further terminal operating standards one for bulk and the other for automotive. Deliver China Workshop This session presented the Chinese model of logistics infrastructure development and dialogue around how it can be adapted in a Western setting. China's 12th 5-year plan focuses on balancing imports with exports. What are the ramifications for global container trade flows and balances? |
