[ ] Describe any issues with warehouse staffing or labor productivity.
[ ] What is the current rate of damaged or obsolete inventory?
[ ] Has the inventory classification system (e.g., ABC analysis) been reviewed/updated recently? (Yes, No, Not Applicable)

--- ACTION PLANNING & RECOMMENDATIONS ---
[ ] Describe potential improvements to warehouse layout to optimize flow and reduce handling time.
[ ] Target reduction in average order fulfillment time (days).
[ ] Which of the following strategies will be implemented to improve forecasting accuracy? (Demand Sensing Techniques, Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR), Improved Data Integration (e.g., POS data), Machine Learning Forecasting Models, None - Maintain Current Approach)
[ ] Prioritized action item for immediate implementation. (Optimize Transportation Routes, Negotiate better supplier lead times, Improve Warehouse Slotting, Enhance Inventory Visibility, Review ABC Inventory Classification)
[ ] Date by which the prioritized action item will be implemented.
[ ] Explain the rationale behind the selected prioritization.
[ ] Upload supporting documentation (e.g., revised process flow diagram).
