Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Fetch Current Warehouse Capacity
Retrieve all existing Warehouse Space entries to identify total available square footage and current occupancy.
2. Get Pending Inbound Shipments
Retrieve all Shipment entries with a status of 'Scheduled' or 'In-Transit' to calculate incoming volume.
3. Calculate Total Occupied Area
Sum the 'Used_Area' property from all active Inventory entries to determine total utilized space.
4. Calculate Utilization Percentage
Execute formula: (Total_Occupied_Area / Total_Warehouse_Capacity) * 100 to determine how full the warehouse is.
5. Calculate Remaining Buffer Space
Subtract Total_Occupied_Area from Total_Warehouse_Capacity to find the available footprint.
6. Update Warehouse Status
Update the 'Utilization_Level' field in the Warehouse Data Model based on the newly calculated percentage.
7. Assign Reorganization Task
Create a task for the Warehouse Manager if utilization exceeds 85%, requiring a floor layout review.
8. Create Bin Audit Task
Create a task for Floor Staff to verify empty bin counts if the system shows high vacancy.
9. Generate Space Alert Log
Create a new entry in the 'Utilization_Alerts' data model to log the threshold breach for historical tracking.
10. Notify Logistics Department
Send an email to the Logistics Team when capacity is critical, suggesting a slowdown in inbound shipments.
11. Alert Warehouse Manager
Send an SMS alert to the Warehouse Manager if the utilization reaches a critical 95% threshold.
12. Weekly Utilization Report
Generate a weekly PDF report summarizing space trends, peaks, and valleys for the Operations Director.
13. Cleanup Deprecated Bin Records
Delete entries from the 'Bin_Mapping' model that have been flagged as 'Decommissioned' or 'Obsolete'.
