N.B. This prompt requires time-based data collection across various stages. Be sure to analyze regional or role-specific differences. Recommendations should be actionable and focus on reducing overall recruitment cycle time.
📄 Prompt Template
Build a timing and sequencing plan for peak season [PeakSeasonDates] that stages capacity injections across ocean/air/road/rail for [CompanyName] to achieve [OTIFTarget] at lowest cost. Compare charter/spot procurement versus owned capacity, pop-up warehousing, overtime/extra shifts, and customer order smoothing incentives. Sequence commitments to lock critical capacity before price spikes using [CharterRate] thresholds and lead-time guardrails [LeadTimeTarget]. Model elasticity of customer demand to surcharges and service tiers. Output format: (1) Capacity Ladder table [Week, Action (Charter/Lease/OT/Pop-Up), Volume Added, Cost, Risk]; (2) Trigger Matrix [Indicator, Threshold, Decision, Owner]; (3) Scenario P&L vs Baseline; (4) Customer Communication timeline and segmentation plan. End with a governance cadence and RACI.
