Determining how to reasonably evaluate the production performance of bulk cargo terminals has always been a concern of the terminal managers. Aiming at the problem of production performance evaluation of the coal export terminals, this paper presents an evaluation method of production performance based on MAS (multi-agent system). A global simulation model of a typical export coal terminal is built in the paper, and the changes of production performance indicators under different conditions are discussed in detail. For the terminal studied, the experimental results show that the terminal production efficiency can be improved based on a series of measures, such as reducing the coal storage time, reducing the ship inter-arrival time, increasing ship loading capacity within a certain range. This method is helpful for the coal terminal managers to better understand the relationship between the terminal production performance indicators and related input factors.

确定如何合理评估散货码头的生产性能一直是码头管理者关注的问题。针对煤炭出口码头的生产绩效评价问题，提出了一种基于MAS（Multi-Agent System）的生产绩效评价方法。建立了典型出口煤炭码头的全球仿真模型，详细讨论了不同条件下生产绩效指标的变化。对于所研究的码头，实验结果表明，在一定范围内，可以通过减少储煤时间，减少船舶进港时间，增加船舶装卸量等一系列措施提高码头的生产效率。
