Our transportation practice offers proven expertise in designing and implementing optimization-based transportation planning and real-time execution systems. Most of our engagements have been in technology development, addressing the needs of airlines, trucking carriers and large shippers.
Selected Client Success Stories
Trucking service provider
For a large LTL carrier, we designed and implemented a dispatch optimization system to plan the number of drivers and their routes for every shift. The system also addressed the issues of balancing empty trailers, minimizing deadheads, and customizing drive management to meet union regulations. The solution reduced the deadheads approximately by 10%.
For an international multi-modal transportation carrier, we designed a cost forecasting system that used activity-based costing to calculate operations costs on a daily basis. This had a significant impact on the cash-flow of the provider.
High volume shipper
For a large consumer goods shipper using a dedicated driver pool, we designed a driver routing and load assignment system. This system was used in two ways. First, as a planning tool to determine profitable route patterns, and second, as an execution system to manage driver routes and load assignments. The solution improved the efficiency of the planning department by three folds. Further savings were achieved by utilizing dedicated drivers on the costly segments while bidding out the cheaper segments to other carriers. The total savings were in about $8 Million.
Air-cargo carrier
For a worldwide air cargo carrier, we designed and implemented an aircraft and truck scheduling system to determine routings and aircraft assignments. The system was used for operations planning and recovery functions. The solution improved the load factor by 7%.
Passenger airlines
For passenger airlines, we designed Crew Scheduling, Crew Recovery, Crew Pay and Fleet Assignment models to serve as management tools.
