Protect the carrier cutoff

Directional decision file for a 4,800 m² distribution centre testing whether layout and dispatch changes can clear a 28% peak-volume uplift without a night shift.

ReferenceOT-SAMPLE-01Model statusDirectionalPrepared1 August 2026
01

Decision at a glance

The baseline fails the 3:00 pm carrier cutoff. A shorter dispatch path plus one additional marshalling zone clears the modelled peak without adding a night shift.

Same-day dispatch83.4%Baseline
Recommended scenario97.6%+14.2 pts
Average cycle38.6 min−11.4 min
Peak backlog0−142 orders
RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONMark up the proposed marshalling zone and validate the 18-metre route reduction during one live peak wave before committing permanent works.
02

Spatial bottleneck

Dispatch work crosses the replenishment path, creating recurring interference immediately before the carrier cutoff.

1
Route interference

Pick completion and replenishment traffic converge on one aisle.

2
Marshalling deficit

Completed orders wait in the packing footprint instead of a dedicated dispatch zone.

3
Cutoff pressure

The final dispatch wave exceeds the single-door clearing rate.

What is supported

  • The baseline constraint occurs after packing
  • Route shortening materially improves cycle time
  • Marshalling capacity is required to reach the target

What remains unknown

  • Final fire-egress and safety clearance
  • Structural and services implications
  • November demand volatility outside the supplied range
