Unlike a mere ramp control guideline, a ramp management strategy comprises a comprehensive planning and control framework that actively orchestrates inbound and outbound operations. It schedules vehicle arrivals according to defined time windows, allocates resources dynamically, and sequences vehicles based on priority levels (express, standard, consolidated shipments). This holistic approach enables logistics centers to achieve high dock utilization, minimize vehicle dwell times, and reduce unplanned idle periods.
