The fan-to-heater handoff calendar for home retailers
A simple calendar for climate-comfort goods so residual fan stock does not choke heater arrivals.
Clearing residual fans
Climate-comfort retailers know the fan season fades as cooler evenings arrive, yet residual fan stock often still occupies the bay when heaters need floor and receiving space.
Build a handoff calendar with three dates: last preferential fan inbound, first heater inbound, and a hard clearance week for fan facings. Align labor so the bay is not rebuilding while heaters arrive.
What to brief operations
- Pallet staging that blocks heater receiving
- Sample heaters that should not share fan residual aisles
- A single owner for the handoff week
This is demand forecasting expressed as a calendar merchants can hang in the warehouse office.
