What warehouse managers check before they rely on the plan.
Whether it is built by hand, where the work comes from, indirect time, the data it needs and how managers learn it.
What warehouse managers check before they rely on it.
Do we have to build the plan by hand?
No. The plan exists as soon as the waves and the team do. Change a wave or mark someone absent and it re-runs.
Where does the work come from?
From the waves your WMS releases: client, activity, time window and volume. You can also edit them on screen or import a CSV.
What about breaks, cleaning and training?
They are an indirect allowance on rostered hours, never a task anyone is assigned to, and reporting tracks indirect time against that allowance.
What data do we need?
Six plain tables: activities, standards, colleagues, skills, waves and actual hours. Send a system export or a spreadsheet, or use the API, and Libra maps it.
How do new managers learn it?
The guide is built in: a sentence on every screen, and a walkthrough that takes a new manager through the real screens step by step.
