Transport and Logistics Supply Chain  

The Transport Optimizer forms part of the operational team responsible for transportation planning. Within the team, the transport optimizer will function as first point of contact for order creators. The transport optimizer will focus on the transformation of freight units to freight orders while meeting predefined constraints including source and destination shipping schedules, requested delivery dates and planning cutoff times. All freight order creation activities performed by the transport optimizer should fulfill the objective of building actionable and mode-optimal transportation plans.

Key output:

Build actionable load plans for sucessful execution by warehousing and hauling service providers

Perform load planning in a timely fashion -- promptly generating visibility to planning exceptions as they arise

Organize and consolidate seemingly disparate transportation demand into mode-optimal freight orders given inputs from upstream supply chain partners, specifically targeting the manner in which vehicles can be further utilized

Act as point of contact for STO order creators
