It is generally recognized that the financial well-being of a trucking firm is linked directly to its management of terminal operations. The overall objective of this project is to improve current work techniques both at the entrance to and inside the terminal. More specifically, it is concerned with the evaluation of transshipment, the development of user-friendly software for use by industry in the coordination of operations and the evaluation of the cost of current freight handling practices. This project comprises three phases. The first consists in adapting the software for terminal management developed in a previous project.
Adaptation also includes a test phase, following the collection of data, and an installation phase.
