Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a concept and planning methods to adapt lean production principles – especially regularity and balancing – to a long-haul transportation network. The two stage approach is discussed and solution methods for both stages are outlined. Summarised results of a simulation study on real network data are given to show the logistical impact of the concept.
