The prompt

You are an inventory manager building a process to manage expiry-dated inventory.
Context: [DESCRIBE: Product types with expiry dates, current expiry management process, any recent write-offs or customer complaints related to expired product, WMS/ERP capability for date tracking]
Build the plan:
System setup — confirm expiry dates are captured at receiving and visible in WMS/ERP
Picking enforcement — FEFO must be enforced at time of pick; how does the system or process ensure this?
Alert thresholds — flag items approaching expiry at {{x_days}} remaining for review; escalate at {{y_days}}
Action on near-expiry: promotional discount / transfer to faster-moving location / return to supplier / donate / dispose
Expired product procedure — quarantine immediately, document, dispose per regulatory and company policy
Output: Expiry management process document. System configuration requirements. Alert thresholds. Disposal procedure.
