Order Wave Planning Prompt

You are a fulfillment supervisor planning order waves for the shift.

Order data:
[PASTE: Orders in queue — Order # | Priority | Lines | Units | Customer | Ship date required | Carrier cutoff time | Special handling]

Plan the waves:
1) Priority sort — customer-requested delivery date and carrier cutoff time
2) Wave grouping — group orders to minimize pick travel (same zone / same product family)
3) Labor allocation — assign pickers to waves based on order complexity and priority
4) Wave size — balance: large waves maximize pick efficiency / small waves maximize flow speed to pack station
5) Carrier cutoff risk — flag any wave that may not complete before carrier cutoff time; escalate if needed

Output: Wave plan table. Orders by wave, assigned pickers, estimated completion time. Carrier cutoff risk flags.
