Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a sort zone assignment plan for packages expected to arrive at a facility during a predetermined period of time. Prior to arrival of the packages at the facility, a sort zone assignment plan is generated that optimizes distribution of the plurality of packages to a plurality of sort zones within the facility for a given sorting cycle. Once a package arrives at the facility, the package is scanned and the sort zone assignment is determined according to the sort zone assignment plan. The package is then transferred to the assigned sort zone.
