Enclosing rail capacity/punctuality in accessibility measures: a two-step approach by using Data Envelopment Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process

“…This multifaceted environment causes problems in determining accurate demand forecasts and sharing information between the operational and strategic levels leading to several inefficiencies such us out-of stocks, lack of storage space, high frequency of reorders, shrinkage, excessive manual labor and high costs [10], [15], [16], [45].
