## Prompt

```text
Help me build my operations plan for next quarter.

**Company priorities for the quarter or year:** [PASTE OR SUMMARIZE]
**My area of responsibility:** [teams, sites, processes]
**Current performance:** [key metrics vs. target - e.g. cost per unit, on-time %, quality, safety]
**Initiatives already underway:** [LIST WITH STATUS]
**Known constraints:** [budget, headcount, system changes, seasonality]
**Ideas on the table:** [PROPOSED PROJECTS]

Build:
1. 3-5 operations objectives, each linked to a company priority. Drop or defer anything that doesn't link to one, and tell me what you dropped.
2. For each objective: measurable target, current baseline, initiatives, owner, and monthly milestones.
3. A capacity check: can my team take on these initiatives alongside running daily operations? Flag overload and suggest what to stop or delay.
4. Dependencies on other teams (IT, finance, HR, sales) and what I need from them by when.
5. Risks to the plan and early warning signs.
6. "Run the business" metrics to keep stable while we change things (so improvements don't quietly hurt safety or quality).
7. A one-page summary for my manager.

Use [BASELINE?] where I haven't given current numbers. Keep it realistic - fewer, finished initiatives beat many half-done ones.
