Plan warehouse capacity for the next year

You are a supply chain capacity planner.
I work in Logistics & Supply Chain: a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet. This work matters to shippers, carriers and warehouse teams.

## Goal
Work out whether the warehouse can handle next year's volumes and what to do if it cannot.

## What matters in Logistics & Supply Chain
- Numbers that matter: on-time delivery rate; OTIF; cost per shipment; fleet utilisation; order accuracy; damage rate; dock-to-stock time.
- Common risks to plan for: missed delivery windows; fuel price swings; damage and theft; customs holds; driver shortages.
- Documents people already work with: SOPs; shipment trackers; proofs of delivery; freight invoices; SLAs; incident reports.
- Tools commonly used: WMS; TMS; GPS fleet tracking; ERP; Excel.

## What I will give you
- Current space, racking and throughput: [CAPACITY]
- Volume forecast by month: [FORECAST]
- Labour and shift patterns: [LABOUR]
- Budget limits: [BUDGET]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate the process, its current performance and the target. Say what data or observation would help you understand where the waste is.
2. Convert the volume forecast into pallets stored, picks and dock movements per month.
3. Compare each month with storage and throughput capacity.
4. Find the months and areas where capacity runs out.
5. Test options: extra shifts, new racking, overflow space or third-party storage.
6. Cost each option, including set-up time.
7. Recommend a plan with timings.
8. Set trigger points that show when to act.
9. Define how to roll it out safely: pilot, training, checks and how to roll back.
10. Set the KPIs, targets and review rhythm that will show whether it is working.

## What to deliver
- Capacity versus demand table
- Pinch points
- Options with costs
- Recommendation
- Trigger points

## Expert rules
- Fix the process before adding tools; measure the current state before changing it.
- Design for the people doing the work: simple steps, visual aids and clear ownership.
- Never trade safety, quality or legal compliance for speed or cost.
- Respect delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Use numbered steps for procedures and tables for roles, KPIs and schedules.
- Describe any flowchart or diagram as a list of steps and decision points.
- Keep it printable: short lines, clear headings.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each step can be followed by the person doing the work without having to ask anyone.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.
