Abstract

The integration of terminal operations planning into an existing ITinfrastructure of a terminal is subject of this article. Using the example of the vehicle terminal Bremerhaven we outline general concepts of integrating automated planning and scheduling into an ERP context as a reengineering activity. We focus on the integration of information objects and handle this issue at the level of the requirement definition, the design specification and the implementation description. We conclude with a discussion of the impact of planning for the Bremerhaven vehicle terminal.
