Foreseeable scaling difficulties due to historically developed operations processes and organizational structures, which had not yet been critically challenged
Approach
Documentation of as-is operations process in a comprehensive standardized process manual for city managers, shift managers, operations personnel and franchisees (100+ pages plus annexes)
Collecting inputs for all operations processes in structured employee interviews and work shadowings, e.g.
Developing standardized process descriptions (i.e. objective, dependencies, required tools, steps, result and output, responsibility, best practices etc.)
Creating complementary in-depth documents such as checklists, templates etc. as needed
Deployment for target group in Confluence
Prioritization of fields of action based on time recordings, cost analyses, customer feedback etc. as well as conception and implementation of to-be processes, e.g.
Introduction of a bonus and malus system for drivers, leading to ~30% lower accident costs, higher customer satisfaction, etc.
Optimization of shift planning by building on relevant KPIs, adding additional granularity, and introducing better software, leading to higher utilization
Improvement of fleet and damage management by collecting requirements and introducing more suitable fleet and damage management software
Redesign of payroll accounting by integrating data sources and automating calculations, money transfers and pay slip provision, for ~90% time savings
