📄 Prompt Template
Draft a wave-less (order-by-order) fulfillment playbook for [D2CBrand] that coexists with high cross-dock volumes at [SiteCode]. Define order throttling, dynamic slotting for fast movers, and pack-station allocation given [AvgDailyOrders] orders/day and [PickPathConstraint] constraints. Specify triggers to switch between wave-less and micro-batching when pack-out queues exceed thresholds. Output as a SOP packet: (1) decision tree for release logic; (2) “Pick-Start to Manifest” takt targets; (3) a station-level staffing calculator [Inputs: Orders/hr, Lines/Order, Touches/Line, TargetSLA [TargetSLA]]; (4) exceptions for value-added services (kitting, gift wrap); and (5) integration points with [WMSName] and [TMSName] for label generation and dock assignment. Include a short change-management plan for associates and KPIs to monitor: Orders On-Time %, Queue Time (min), Pick Productivity (lines/hr), and Pack Accuracy %.
