| Description: |
This paper focuses on the application of two approaches: Business Process Redesign (BPR) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in an attempt to enhance the basic logistics processes in inland container terminals. The goal of the paper is to identify the weaknesses and potential problems in the execution of current logistics processes, as well as to redesign such identified weaknesses and problems. The main contribution of the paper is to show how DES and BPR can be used in restructuring of container logistics processes in inland container terminals. Its original feature is a novelty, a holistic approach in rationalization of container logistics processes in inland intermodal terminals, creating models of the current (AS-IS) and improved (TO-BE) states. Models show that DES and BPR represent an easily accessible and effective tool in the analysis of terminal processes in container terminals. Therefore, it can be efficiently used for monitoring the current situation, identification of weak spots in a particular system and for creating any necessary preconditions for improvement of business processes. |

info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ; Open Access Statement The Journal of Maritime and Transportation Science promotes thematic and disciplinary openness. This allows free access, searching, reading, downloading, and other legal uses. The Journal of Maritime and Transportation Science publishes thematic issues twice a year. It also publishes a special issue every two years: Conference Proceedings- International Conference on Marine Technology in memoriam Academic Zlatko Winkler. The publication of the journal is financed by the Primorsko-goranska county. Charges The journal does not charge authors to receive, review, or publish papers. The journal supports open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. Paper Submission The Editorial Board accepts only unpublished manuscripts in English. All manuscripts undergo an initial editorial review to determine if the manuscript meets the journal's scholarly and editorial standards and fits the journal's goals and themes. Once approved by the editor, the manuscripts undergo a review by at least to reviewers. After receiving the reviews, the authors should send a cover letter to the editors, together with the new version of the manuscript, stating which suggestions of the reviewers they accepted and which they did not (with explanation and argumentation). The editors send a new, corrected version of the manuscript and a cover letter to the reviewers, who decide whether to accept the article in this form. The final decision to accept an article for publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief. All manuscripts submitted by authors in English will be proofread and edited by a native speaker or a professional editor to eliminate spelling and grammatical errors and preferably errors in writing style. Plagiarism Plagiarism is a form of piracy that involves the unauthorized use or imitation of language patterns (representations, images, or tables) and thoughts of others and presenting them as one's own original work without asking permission or crediting the author of the original content. Plagiarism usually involves using someone else's material, but it can also mean copying one's own previously published research without citing it (sometimes referred to as self-plagiarism or duplicate publication).
