Let's throw a dose of reality in now: If you could only allocate drivers on a minimum 8-hour shift basis and you could increase hourly drivers by 20% over the supply listed, how would that change your allocation strategy above? Please do the following: 1. Explain your methodology for reallocation 2. Suggest the results you expect to result 3. How would you manage a fleet of drivers to do what you want? Here's a description of the variables: Compl = the number of completed trips Eyes = the unique number of people who opened the Uber app Zeroes = the unique number of people who opened the Uber app but when they did so they saw no cars available. A zero can occur because there is not enough supply (drivers) on the road or because the person looking at the Uber app isn't within a certain mileage range of the available cars. Avail Drivers = number of drivers on the Uber network in total (receiving either commission or hourly payment) Hourly = number of drivers on the Uber network receiving hourly payment So, for example, from this data: At 7am on May 16th, 6 people opened the Uber app and all of those folks saw cars available (0 zeros). We completed 1 trip. And, we had 6 drivers on the system of which 6 were scheduled and paid hourly. We had no drivers at that hour on the system out of their own free will. In contrast, at 8pm, we had 6 hourly drivers and 2 commission drivers. Assuming you had hour-by-hour control of hourly drivers, how would you reallocate (not increase - just reallocate) the current supply of hourly drivers (given you have no control over commission hours) to better serve demand? Please do the following: 1. Describe the metrics you would use to drive this decision 2. Explain your methodology for reallocation 3. Give a brief summary of your reallocation (please give specific examples) 4. Suggest the results you expect to result (please give specific examples)

Q: If you had to deal with X situation (applicable to business line), how would you work towards a solution?
