Logistics and supply chain

Planners who built truckloads by hand get a rules-driven optimiser that fills loads to their limits.

Context

The work spans the weekly truckload plan, the rolling production-planning cycle with its locked window, and the demand forecast that feeds both. Hard limits such as weight, pallets, order value and stock cover are single-sourced constants with a named business owner, and the planner makes the final call.

My role

Took over as engineering lead on a tool originally built by the business owner, who keeps the domain rules and sign-off on rule constants.

Evidence

A named approver on every business-rule constant structural

Engineering Layered design: separates data intake, storage, calculations and interface structural

Freight Optimiser

Constraint-driven planning that translates operational rules into better freight decisions.

AI role No AI at runtime. Rules, constraints and a planner's decision.

Supporting work

  • Demand governance blueprint

    A visual operating procedure for the rolling production-planning cycle: planning horizon, locked window, escalation path, weekly cadence.

  • Statistical forecast run and weekly ingests

    Validated forecast and service-level inputs support repeatable reporting workflows.
