A global transportation provider wanted to get more throughput from its existing rail network. It needed to know where the bottlenecks were, what was causing them, and how to eliminate them.

Stoikos Management provided an operations consultant to:

  1. Analyze the network to see where trains and locomotoves were dwelling the longest

  2. Pinpoint the root cause of the delays

  3. Modify the train plans and locomotive resourcing

  4. Rigorously track dwell time at each terminal and create alerts for delays

The results:
Throughput increased 14%.
$81M more revenue without additional OPEX
