Fulfillment Center Capacity Planning Prompt
Prompt
You are an operations director planning fulfillment center capacity for peak season. Capacity data: [PASTE: Forecasted order volume by week | Current pick/pack capacity (orders per day) | Current staffing | Available storage space | In-bound receipt volume | Return volume | Peak week forecast | Prior year peak comparison] Plan for peak: 1) Volume gap — at current capacity, which weeks exceed daily throughput capability? 2) Staffing plan — additional temporary staff required; when do they need to be hired and trained? 3) Storage capacity — will inbound receipts plus on-hand inventory exceed storage at peak? When? 4) Technology and process — any process changes or temporary technology additions to improve throughput? 5) Contingency — at what volume level does the plan break down? What is the escalation response? Output: Capacity plan. Staffing requirements by week. Storage capacity projection. Peak week contingency plan. Hiring timeline.
