Peak season fulfillment readiness checklist

A readiness checklist for confirming forecast load, capacity buffer, and daily throughput controls before a seasonal order surge begins.

Use when

  • A campaign or season is expected to multiply daily order volume
  • The team needs to protect fulfillment speed and quality while scaling output

Confirm the forecast volume, capacity buffer, and daily throughput target

Makes sure the team knows how much extra load must be absorbed and what capacity is already reserved.

Lock workstation roles, escalation owners, and carrier cutoff rules

Peak throughput drops quickly when ownership and cutoff decisions are made ad hoc under pressure.

Review the backlog trigger and overflow response before launch

Prevents small delays from turning into a full peak-season fulfillment bottleneck.
