Warehouse Slotting, Picking & Cycle Counting SOP

Warehouse Slotting, Picking & Cycle Counting SOP

N.B. Where possible, add benchmarking (internal/external) to calibrate thresholds and prevent “permanent amber.”

📄 Prompt Template

Create an integrated SOP for [WarehouseID] governing slotting, picking, and inventory accuracy within [WMS]. Output format: 1) Slotting Policy using [SKUProfile] (velocity, cube, affinity, hazard) with replenishment triggers. 2) Picking Method Standard (wave/batch/zone/voice or light) with step-timings and ergonomic/safety criteria aligned to [SafetyStandard]. 3) Cycle Count Procedure (ABC cadence, blind count protocol, investigation workflow). 4) Acceptance Test (Right-First-Time picking ≥ [TargetPickRate] line/hr, inventory accuracy ≥ 99.x%). 5) RACI and 5S Audit checklist. 6) Change Log & Review Calendar leading to [ReviewDate]. Include visual aids (bin labels, aisle maps), exception handling (short pick, mis-slot), and WMS configuration fields (allocation rules, pick path). Quantify benefits (reduced travel, fewer touches) and define KPIs (UPH, accuracy, dock-to-stock).
