Deutsche Bahn uses Carmen to improve productivity
Deutsche Bahn's Passenger Division went to Carmen Systems for a new way of planning more than 30,000 of the company's crew members.The Carmen software automatically produces optimal crew shifts and rosters, and has progressively been taken into production at Deutsche Bahn, since 2002. In the long-distance operation, the project is close to finishing, whilst in the regional area the roll-out is ongoing at full speed. Union and legal rules are considered in the process, as well as social and other quality issues. The software has now been used to do large improvements in crew efficiency
