CBS-2 Delivery / Logistics / Parcel Services (GrabExpress, last-mile delivery)
Introduction
Impact tolerance is a critical component of operational resilience, defining the acceptable thresholds of disruption for critical business services.
For Grab Indonesia’s CBS-2, which encompasses the delivery, logistics, and parcel services under GrabExpress, establishing clear impact tolerances ensures that the organisation can maintain service continuity during operational incidents, mitigate customer dissatisfaction, and comply with regulatory expectations.
By setting Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) and Maximum Tolerable Data Loss (MTDL) for each sub-process (Sub-CBS), Grab Indonesia can prioritise resources, enhance recovery strategies, and support informed decision-making in crisis scenarios.
This chapter presents the impact tolerance assessment for each detailed process within CBS-2, aligning operational resilience requirements with practical service delivery considerations.
