This paper discusses a successful bid to use advanced information technology to enhance productivity and maximize throughput at the West Coast's premiere multimodal facility, the Maersk Pacific Terminal in Long Beach, California. Taking a case study approach, the author describes the specific technology that was implemented, reviews the operational procedures under the system, and details the benefits that have been derived.
