Expert Decking Expertise
No. (It's expert decking, so it applies to decking only)
The centre part of the sandwich is for pure sorts, which use what type of strategies?
Name one issue that could come up with Expert Decking.
Overlapped CHE Ranges, use of Ctrl + A, improper strategy selection etc.
True or False: Expert Decking can consider travel distance using certain parameters
True (ex: TIM DIS & TIM THS)
What is the difference between an allocation group and an allocation range?
Allocation ranges specify areas of the yard where containers matching an allocation group may deck.
In Expert Decking, is it the lowest or highest scoring location that determines where the container decks?
Lowest. "Like Golf" ~ Sydney
What is a CHE Range and who creates them?
The Foreperson at the terminal is responsible for creating CHE Ranges and these determine the area of coverage of a specific CHE
Should CHE Ranges overlap as a best practice?
No.
Which Parameter applies to avoid MIXing containers with different stacking factors in a STACK?
the STK MIX parameter.
Who assigns the expert decking strategy to an allocation range
the yard planner.
Consider CHE positions, busyness, and travel distance when determining where a container should deck.
How many times does Expert Decking Apply the CHE BSY parameter?
once per active job in the CHE's CHE zone.
what is the difference between ctrl + A and ctrl + shift + A
Ctrl + Shift + A incorporates CHE Chasing parameters into the decking decision.
Which parameter indicates the MAX-imum allowable score for expert DECK-ing?
the DEK MAX parameter
Will expert decking consider deactivated allocation ranges as a possibility for decking?
True or False: “One of the purposes of expert decking is to have the CHE chase the moves instead of the move chase the CHE”
false.
When does Rail Decking count towards CHE BSY?
When it is an active move (ex: tractor picked up chassis and is on the way to the block)
How can you access the glossary of Navis terms
in N4 Help, which is opened in N4.
Explain the STK MTY Parameter
This parameter applies when decking a container in an empty stack, usually to discourage using up stacks in the yard.
Give one example of when you should have multiple allocation ranges over a block
CY lanes have 20 & 40 allocations double ranged.
Explain the difference between a stacking factor and a section factor.
Section factors determine what sorts of units are permitted to deck in the same block while stacking factors determine what sorts of units are permitted to deck in the same stack.
Explain one feature of the CHE ZON Parameter
It will penalize decking in an uncovered area OR it will penalize decking in a half lane that the CHE is not in
Where can you go to see the calculation history of where a container decked?
Explain the difference between weight class and weight tolerance.
Weight classes define hard coded ranges within which containers are permitted to deck together. Weight tolerances permit containers within a certain % over or under to deck in the same stack.
Name a situation where a container will FAIL to deck in a block, even if it matches the allocation group for the range.
CHE busy limit is reached, allocation range is deactivated, block is mixed sort or mixed length, etc.
