📄 Prompt Template

Build a labor plan for [ShiftSchedule] at [FacilityName] covering cross-dock unloading/sort, outbound build, and direct fulfillment pick/pack. Use throughput assumptions of [InboundPalletsPerHour] pallets/h inbound and [OrdersPerHour] orders/h outbound. Calculate required FTE, cross-skill pool size, and temps ramp by day for [PeakPeriod]. Output: (1) a staffing table [Area, Role, Target Rate, FTE Base, FTE Peak, Cross-Trained %, Temp Headcount]; (2) a takt-time chart spec (no graphics needed, just values); (3) a RACI for supervisors, planners, and HR; and (4) a variance playbook (absenteeism, surge carriers, equipment downtime). Include engineered standards for touches/pallet and lines/hour, and buffer for learning curves of [NewHirePercentage]%. Tie labor to budget with fully loaded cost per shipped unit and per cross-docked pallet.
