My Take On Operations "Game"

[NJ Devils Fan]

Hey Richard, the more I read into your idea, the more interesting it gets. Instead of creating a index card(s) for each individual car, creating index cards for just certain types of cars is much easier. As stated above, rail customers just order cars, not a specific car. For example, ABC industry needs, say, 2 boxcars, so the railroad gathers 2 boxcars and puts them in the next train for that industry. The junk yard needs a gon, so the railroad brings them one, any one.

I'll try coming up with a switchlist according to these ideas. I'll let you know.
