Quetica was contracted by the City of Decatur and Midwest Inland Port to develop and apply demand-based supply chain network design and optimization modeling. The goal in developing a regional optimization model is to support strategic investments in Decatur’s regional transportation system; and, to assist in evaluating economic development opportunities in the region. The development and application of a customized optimization model will enable Decatur, Illinois, and its regional partners to effectively address network constraints and prioritize the most efficient investments in its regional intermodal/multimodal network.
