A privately supervised school in Raipur, India, is encountering concerns from parents affecting pupils are faced consistently by long commutes. The school has grown from a modest 89 students and 12 faculty members in 1993 to more than 2,700 pupils.
Today, student commutes range on school buses of varied abilities from a number of steps to a number of kilometers. While the transport manager has been making adjustments to capability and bus routes in the beginning of each period, the problem has gotten too large for one man to manage. In response, management determines to hire a consulting firm specializing in supply chain modeling to find a solution that would reduce not only students' travel times but fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emitted by the buses, therefore cutting down the carbon footprint of the school.
