Advanced Planning & Scheduling
The liberalization of the European rail sector and the entry of a number of new operators have resulted in fierce competition. Service levels must be exceptional, employee satisfaction is essential and optimizing resource utilization is vital. In this demanding and dynamic environment, rail operators need advanced planning and scheduling solutions in order to stay competitive. The flexibility to confidently deal with real-time disturbances while maintaining the highest level of customer service is of the utmost importance in order to be successful in today’s and more importantly tomorrow’s market.
The planning process for a rail operator is complex. Ab Ovo’s planning philosophy is to get it right from the start. All possible constraints can be taken into account by using advanced planning & scheduling solutions. These might include the qualifications of individual drivers, route knowledge, the maximum length of a wagon or employment regulations. The use of real-time data and scenario planning supports the planners in making better planning decisions. APS solutions implemented by Ab Ovo are fully integrated into the existing IT landscape.
For Ab Ovo the project doesn’t stop at the implementation. We want to be involved in the project from the beginning until the end. This means that we also offer our customers full training support and, if required, are able to provide maintenance and support for the planning solution.
The development and implementation of an Advanced Planning & Scheduling solution is not an easy task by any means. It requires expert business knowledge, in-depth ICT knowledge and excellent project management skills; this combination is our unique selling point with respect to rail operators.
