BP is one of the world’s largest oil, gas and chemical companies. One of their derivatives is used in the mass production of carpet backing. With a large percentage of the nations carpet produced in Dalton, Georgia and with BP’s carpet backing production plants located in south Georgia, BP retained RightChain to develop an optimized regional logistics strategy for rolls of carpet backing including its network design, routes, schedules, load plans, fleet sizing and management, and cross dock configurations.
