Improved performance on European rail freight corridors through optimized coordination processes

Initial situation

  • A leading European rail freight company 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 from country to country
  • There were some major differences between the national companies in terms of process and organizational structures and the IT systems used
  • The punctuality and capacity utilization of trains within the corridors should be improved
