Common Scenario Viewpoint

This viewpoint presents the best practice solutions through a map of problems solved thanks to their application. The common scenario called “Teddy bears on the road…”, introduced at the ECITL 2010 in Bremen, has been selected for this criterion. The story describes a quite unlucky but plausible transport process, involving a freight of teddy bears to be delivered from China to Belgium, and a number of hazards, deviations and problems hindering its safe arrival at destination. Indeed, during the journey the freight has to change transport mode, starting from a truck, and passing through ships and rails. The problems met during the journey are: bad weather conditions causing delays and re-planning of the route, loading/unloading mismatches and loss of cargo items. The steps and the solutions are detailed in the child page linked below the scenario.

The scenario is presented through the following map, showing the route followed by the cargo. Click on every step and follow the cargo along its route! Click on the expand symbol to discover how the best practice enters the story along the route or over the names of the solutions to access the detailed solution sheets.
