Our Client
A major national railroad corporation launched a $30 billion infrastructure initiative and needed to more than double annual productivity of its Track Laying System (TLS) to meet aggressive capital improvement targets.
The Challenge
The railroad corporation faced key challenges in movement towards capital improvement targets including:
- Existing TLS output was insufficient to meet delivery goals.
- Prolonged scheduled outages and inefficient workflows hindered throughput.
- Fragmented coordination across planning, operations, and support teams.
- Lack of real-time KPIs and daily performance management.
Real Results Achieved Together
EFESO's collaborative approach enabled doubling TLS productivity through optimized workflows and daily performance management, achieving 46% output increase.
