Deliver measurable KPI improvements.
Stage 3 is where National Shunt takes primary ownership of execution. Building on the insights identified in Stage 2, our team leads the implementation of approved changes. Refining processes, configuring tools, and reengineering workflows to remove friction from daily operations.
This is where the yard begins operating as designed and performance starts to scale.
Core Components
Stage 3 is hands-on optimization. We implement workflow changes, configure systems to support execution, and establish operating rhythms that keep performance consistent across shifts, sites, and teams.
- Process optimization tied to priority KPIs
- Workflow design for speed, safety, and consistency
- Shuntware® configuration to support execution and visibility
- Operating cadence (reporting, reviews, corrective actions)
The Operational Impact
By the end of Stage 3, improvements are visible on the ground. Optimized workflows and configured tools reduce unnecessary touches, improve scheduling, and increase productivity.
This stage produces real operational lift, measured in time saved, fewer touches, and better service performance. Your yard becomes easier to manage because the process supports the work, not the other way around.
The Workload Feels Lighter, Even as Volume Stays the Same or Increases
Improved visibility removes guesswork and last-minute scrambling. Teams spend less time chasing trailers and more time executing planned work, making the operation feel more manageable without reducing throughput.
Labor Hours are Staffed Appropriately and Cost-Effectively
With clearer demand signals and execution data, staffing levels match actual workload by shift. Overtime and idle time decline, keeping labor spend controlled without compromising service.
Automation Enhances Execution, Not Complexity
Automated workflows and system-driven decisions reduce manual touches and intervention. The operation runs smoother because the system supports the work, instead of the team compensating for gaps.
