Reorganization of Processes to Gain Competitive Advantages: The Case of Rail 2000 and Beyond

For successful competition in public passenger transport the offer in transport opportunities and its quality play an important role. The processes to define the service including the necessary infrastructure as well as to produce the train slots are key elements for success in the market. The RAIL 2000 concept in Switzerland is a successful example for the definition process. SBB’s new approach for the track slot production process will bring a higher quality of the offer and additional capacity with minimal investment. These two different processes and described and the anticipated effects are documented.
