Hub Group Implements a Suite of OR Tools to Improve its Operations

Hub Group developed a production decision support system which integrated forecasting, error distribution analysis, expected value based heuristics and optimization. The system was structured to fit within Hub's existing organizational structure, business processes and information technology to reduce project risk, cost and operational disruption. Hub improved its performance by $11 million in cost savings in the system's first year, improved revenue per load and increased container velocity.
