stands are generally allocated to the arrival time +/- 15 minutes
Possibly part of the issue. You need to be much more proactive and flexible than this - and if I read it correctly we are saying that maybe stands are even intended to be allocated only 15 minutes after arrival.
Most ops offices I am familiar with are looking at arrangements and how things are running hours ahead.
