WMS Simulator
For three years I administered warehouse management systems for four enterprise accounts. Most of that job was explaining the same flow to people who had never worked in a warehouse: an order comes in, inventory gets allocated, someone walks the floor and picks it, and what gets picked is packed and shipped.
The simulator walks through that flow, including what happens when a picker reaches an empty location: the line shorts, replenishment refills the location, and the pick is tried again. If the location can't be refilled in time, you choose whether the order waits or ships partial.
