Start of the Workflow/Process.

Fetch all existing product entries from the Inventory Data Model to identify stock volume.

Fetch total available bin, shelf, and floor space metrics from the Warehouse Layout Data Model.

Sum the volume of all active inventory entries to determine current utilized space.

Divide Total Occupied Volume by Total Warehouse Capacity to determine the utilization ratio.

Subtract Total Occupied Volume from Total Capacity to determine remaining headroom or overflow requirement.

Update the 'Current Utilization' field in the Warehouse Data Model with the newly calculated percentage.

Create a task for the Warehouse Manager to physically verify high-density zones.

Retrieve inventory entries where 'Last Movement Date' is greater than 90 days.

Create a task for the Logistics Coordinator to move identified slow-moving items to long-term storage.

Create a new entry in the 'Optimization Logs' data model summarizing the findings of this cycle.

Create a visual report showing capacity trends and fragmentation levels for the management team.

Send an email to the Operations Manager if utilization exceeds the 85% threshold.

Update specific Bin entries to reflect new contents after reorganization tasks are complete.

Create a task for the Procurement team to handle stock identified for removal/disposal.
