Abstract
Growth and survival of an organisation are depended on the systematic planning and execution. A model is needed as it is a description of a system. This paper provides a container terminal for understanding the Supply chain process within terminal compound. Container terminal systems and functions are similar with manufacturing and material handling. The skeleton of the process in mapping using IDEF0 function as a powerful business process reengineering tool to model the operational process of container terminal. This model emphasise on the supply chain agility of container terminal from IDEF technique. It is a foresight idea in designing a supply chain of container terminal model based on processes from practical and theoretical feedback to ensure the practicability.
