Type: Penalty
Category: TIM
CHE Type: ASCs
Reference: Impending far from exit
Description: Penalty applied to impending moves that are far from the exit side of block. Impending moves for export and import containers are determined by the EC parameters PHIDEP and PHIDIP, respectively. Since this penalty can result in a relatively high score for those moves to the farthest quadrant, a subsequent housekeeping run will generally improve the move to a slot closer to the exit.
For Imports: The truck bringing in the container needs an appointment or a gate-in time. The appointment time for the import container should be set within the time period specified by PHIDIP before the penalty is applied.
For Exports: The ETD for the outbound carrier needs to be set within the time period specified by PHIDEP before the penalty can be applied.
The severity of the penalty is determined by the distance between the slot and the exit quadrant (waterside for exports, and landside for imports), as follows:
Quadrant close to Exit = No Penalty
2nd Quadrant (next to Exit Quadrant) = 1 X Penalty value
3rd Quadrant = 2 X Penalty value
4th Quadrant = 3 X Penalty value

This penalty is also used by N4 Automation.
This XPS penalty has been implemented in N4 for the N4 Automation IntraBlock and Rehandle Deckers. You still set the penalty in XPS.
