About The Team
The RBS-Availability program includes Selection Addition (where new Head-Selections are added based on gaps identified by Selection Monitoring-SM), Buyability (ensuring new HS additions are buyable and recovering established ASINs that became non-buyable), SoROOS (rectify defects for sourceble out-of-stock ASINs ) Glance View Speed (offering ASINs with the best promise speed based on Store/Channel/FC level nuances), Emerging MPs, ASIN Productivity (To have every ASINS actual contribution profit to meet or exceed the estimate). The North-Star of the Availability program is to "Ensure all customer-relevant (HS) ASINs are available in Amazon Stores with guaranteed delivery promise at an optimal speed." To achieve this, we collaborate with SM, SCOT, Retail Selection, Category, and US-ACES to identify overall opportunities, defect drivers, and ingress across forecasting, sourcing, procurability, and availability systems, fixing them through UDE/Tech-based solutions.
