Methods for Planning and Control CONTROLLING the PROCESSES
Methods for Planning and Control CONTROLLING THE PROCESSES OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN A TRANSPARENT AND OPTIMAL WAY Founded by In the past decades the general conditions of the automotive industry have changed. Individual vehicle requests, new driving systems and constant innovations caused a continually growing variety of models. As a result, automotive manufacturers focus on their core competences and reduce their vertical integration of manufacturing.

1 Preface Prof. Dr. Manfred Zachcial, Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) Dear Guests, Speakers and Participants. Today, on this 9th December 2008, the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) starts a new series of Maritime Conferences and it is a great honor for my colleagues and me to welcome you to the first event “Trends in Container Shipping” here in the City of Bremen. The World Trade Center enables us to host about 200 conference participants from Germany and abroad and a number of distinguished speakers from Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. In addition to the conference sessions, high-level representatives from the European Commission, the German Ministry of Transport and the Government of Bremen will provide several important highlights. The Maritime Conference 2008 will start with a salutation speech “Perspectives of Ports in Germany” by Mr. Detthold Aden. The following program is subdivided in 4 sessions: • World Economy, Trade and Shipping • Vessel Size Development • Implications of Shipping Markets on Ports and Hinterland • Financing and Taxation These four major sessions and their topics in detail are related to the present situation and the future development in the sector of container shipping. Among other aspects, world container shipping supply and demand constitute the scope of the conference. Tonight, the first conference day will be followed by a reception in Bremen’s famous historic town hall. In this context let me give thanks to the City of Bremen, which overtook the patronage for the Maritime Conference 2008. 8 Manfred Zachcial Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to thank all of you for travelling to Bremen and for participating in “Trends in Container Shipping”.

Press Release, Pdf, 229.30 Kb
PRESS RELEASE Bremen celebrates “50 Years of Container Handling in Germany” 50 Years Later and Still Going Strong Bremen, April 20, 2016 +++ May 5, 1966 is a historic date: the dawn of the era of containerized transport in Germany. 50 years ago on this date, the first dedicated container ship was unloaded at Bremen’s Überseehafen by BREMER LAGERHAUS-GESELLSCHAFT (today BLG LOGISTICS). Since then, containerization has gone on to revolutionize global trade and transport, and also helped to enable Germany to become an export powerhouse. The idea was as simple as it was revolutionary: cargo packed in a standardized steel box could be transferred to any transportation mode any- where in the world. The standardization of processes accelerated the global transport chain and made globalization possible. In Germany, BREMER LAGERHAUS-GESELLSCHAFT pioneered this pro- cess. Although many players in the shipping and transport industries initially viewed the new steel box with skepticism, BLG’s management grasped the potential early on. Over time, the pioneer became one of the world’s largest shipping line-independent container terminal operators, the EUROGATE Group. EUROGATE was founded in 1999 as a joint venture of the container divisions of BLG LOGISTICS, Bremen, and Hamburg-based EUROKAI, and is today active in eleven seaports in Germany and Europe, including Wilhelmshaven, Germany’s only deep-water port. As container cargos boomed, container handling was relocated from Bremen to Bremerhaven. Today, Bremer- haven is Europe’s fourth largest container port. Over 100 million standard containers (TEU) have been handled here to date. Under the patronage of Martin Günthner, Bremen’s Senator for Econ- omy, Labor and Ports, BLG LOGISTICS and EUROGATE will celebrate this historic event “50 Years of Container Handling in Germany” on May 4, 2016 at the BLG Forum, Bremen.

Understanding Supply Chain Management Concepts in the Context of Port Logistics: an Explanatory Framework
TRANSPORT ISSN 1648-4142 / eISSN 1648-3480 2014 Volume 29(4): 376–385 doi:10.3846/16484142.2014.982173 UNDERSTANDING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS IN THE CONTEXT OF PORT LOGISTICS: AN EXPLANATORY FRAMEWORK Nico Herz, Heike Flämig Institute for Transport Planning and Logistics, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany Submitted 19 April 2013; resubmitted 19 October 2013; accepted 14 March 2014 Abstract. In academia as in practice, seaports are increasingly viewed as elements in supply chains. It is argued that sea- ports should add value to shippers by aligning their own business activities with shippers’ Supply Chain Management (SCM) strategies and requirements. The implications of this ‘port-SCM’ philosophy are not fully explored, however. In this context, it is especially important to create mutual understanding between shippers, in terms of their SCM strate- gies, and port actors, in terms of services provided. In this paper a framework is developed, which aims to improve mutual understanding between shippers and port actors from a SCM point of view. It thereby aims to contribute to the dialogue on how the port logistics system can be better integrated into shippers’ SCM strategies. Three SCM reference models are analysed and twelve SCM subsystems identified that represent broad design areas of shippers’ SCM strate- gies. Further, the seaport system is discussed in terms of system boundaries and the actors involved. Port actors and SCM subsystems are then combined into one explanatory framework, the SCM-port actor matrix. Finally, applying the matrix, three cases retrieved from academic and trade literature in which port actors are actively involved in conduct- ing shippers’ supply chain strategies are discussed.
