Abstract
A warehouse coordination system receives warehouse data that represents a current warehouse state, and performance data that represents historical performance of warehouse workers. The warehouse coordination system generates and stores enhanced warehouse data, and provides the data for a plan creation user interface for a warehouse process. The warehouse coordination system receives, through the plan creation user interface, user input that indicates workers to be applied to tasks to be performed over a shift for the warehouse process, and a simulation command to perform a simulation of the tasks. In response to receiving the simulation command, the warehouse coordination system performs a simulation of tasks according to the user inputs, and stores a simulated warehouse process plan that specifies the tasks. The warehouse coordination system receives real-time data that indicates tasks being performed over the shift, and provides the data for a performance monitoring interface for the warehouse process.
