Abstract: In the "BePoT'' research project, the Funnel model from production logistics was successfully transferred to the gantry crane operations of a combined transport terminal. Based on this, throughput diagrams and Logistic Operating Curves (LOCs) were derived for two main types of orders at combined transport terminals -- crane orders and dispatch orders. On the one hand, these models make it possible to systematically and generally describe the logistics objective conflict between high mean crane output rate and short mean throughput times of crane and dispatch orders. On the other hand, they form the basis for the monitoring, utilization, and booking systems developed in the project. In addition, the research project developed partial models for three key types of operational waste at combined transport terminals -- intermediate storage, restacking and empty crane runs -- as well as for the corresponding improvement measures -- direct transshipments, stacking logics and double cycles. These partial models describe the respective types of waste and improvement measures as a function of their control variables. On the other hand, by integrating them into the LOC models, it is possible to describe the individual effects and the overall effect on the logistics objectives of combined transport terminals. The results achieved in the project show that these improvement measures have great potential to increase the handling performance and to defuse the logistics objective conflict in combined transport terminals.
