Improved performance on European rail freight corridors through optimized coordination processes

Initial situation

  • A leading European rail freight operator needed to improve the performance of its cross-border corridors
  • European rail freight transport was characterized by intense competition and complex legal requirements that varied between countries
  • Significant differences existed between the national companies in terms of processes, organizational structures, and the IT systems used
  • Punctuality and capacity utilization of trains within the corridors needed to be improved

Our approach

  • Set up, organize and manage a combined trans-European project team
    • Win over country managers and key stakeholders from pilot corridors for the project
    • Organize multinational workshops on-site

    • Manage the implementation of measures centrally
    • Empower employees to continue applying the concept
  • Establish corridor management teams and ensure consistent communication and stakeholder management
