Responsibilities

  • As Principal, LMR Supply Planning you will lead the supply planning for Last Mile Rentals, a revolutionary program aimed to transform from the current ‘push’ fleet planning model, based on individual DSP (Delivery Service Partner) demand forecasts and allocation of capacity to DSPs to a ‘pull’ model, based on DS shared pool of vans available to solve inter-period (DSP peak variability), intra-week demand variability, and non-controllable Vehicle Off Road (VOR) contingencies.
  • The Principal, LMR Supply Planning, leverages their expertise and high judgment to design the right mechanisms to meet strategic goals in relation LMR fleet scale with efficiency.
  • Together with Fleet Demand and Fleet Finance it answers the question: “what is the right amount of the idle Armada or other sources (e.g. rentals) to be transferred into LMR, best trade-off between utilization and delivery partner experience?”, by periodically assessing the demand variability, the planning accuracy and critically reviewing inputs from very diverse (internalexternal) partner organizations.
  • They conduct periodic reviews with senior stakeholders for the approval of new transfer orders raised by the new demand plans and for Peak readiness, contributing to CAPEXOPEX decisions.

  • The top challenges for the role will be:
  • To plan and develop a sustainable LMR supply base that aims to remove agility (lead time of executing pick up, deployment, return) and cost as scale blockers.
  • To trade-off among different stakeholders (Sr Mgr Director level) with very diverse and conflicting goals. The degree of ambiguity for this initiative is high (‘can we afford to defleet, refurbish and infleet to LMR according to current end to end cycle time?) and the foundational capacity yet to be built.
  • To create mechanisms for the governance of the approvals of the transfer orders to replenish LMR pools, after we roll out to all countries (BAU)
