<dd>This report describes the technical structure and general application of a Container Stuffing Simulation Model (SIMCON). The simulation model characterizes the operations of a cargo terminal that loads cargo into ocean going containers; it is oriented toward container freight stations operated by the Military Traffic Management Command )MTMC). General input data to the model include cargo arrivals, container vessel arrivals, container booking parameters, stuffing parameters and policies, and container types and availabilities. General outputs include cargo age, container utilization, and consignee cargo mixing statistics. Included in the report is a description of data collection procedures used to prepare inputs for the simulation, and procedures used to analyze the results of the simulation. Also included is a description of how the simulation model was used to measure tradeoffs among container stuffing performance measures, assess impacts of alternative container sizes, and evaluate optimal stuffing procedures.
