N.B. Ensure that you have data from the ATS on the time spent per step in the process and any relevant performance metrics. If available, include data segmentation by department or job role to make more specific recommendations.

📄 Prompt Template

Develop a phased plan to reposition inventory across [DCList] and introduce cross-dock waves to support [SKUCount] SKUs, reducing dwell to [TargetDwellHours] and backorders costed at [BackorderCost]. Time moves to match promotion and launch calendars [RegionalPromotionsCalendar], carrier cut-offs, and yard capacity. Sequence SKU migrations to minimize split-shipments and middle-mile deadhead; include seasonal safety stock timing. Output format: (1) Reallocation table [SKU/Family, From, To, Wave, Start, End, OTIF Δ, Cost Δ]; (2) Cross-Dock Schedule [Day, Inbound Windows, Outbound Waves, Dock Utilization %]; (3) KPI pack (Fill Rate, Dwell, Split-Rate, Cost/Order) pre/post; (4) Constraints & mitigations list. Provide a final recommendation by phase with stop/continue criteria.
