    Abstract: A pick rate planning system is utilized to determine pick rates needed for the picking of items in a materials handling facility. Critical pull times (“CPTs”) are determined which indicate times by which items must be picked from inventory. A picking capacity of the materials handling facility is determined and pick rates are allocated as corresponding to regions of the picking capacity that are associated with the CPTs. As part of the allocating of the pick rates, regions of the picking capacity may have portions that result in a level filling of the picking capacity that minimizes spikes and other undesirable fluctuations.

    Abstract: Transportation plan adjustments based on recommended shipping packages may utilize a shipment data model for a facility that is updated with cubic volumes of recommended packages for received orders. The shipment data model may also be updated with the cubic volumes of the packages that are actually used to pack the orders and transportation utilization data such as assignment of packages to particular transportation resources. A transportation plan may be updated based on the updated shipment data model and transportation utilization data such as which transportation resources have left the facility and how much of the available cubic volume of the resource was used when the resource left the facility. The transportation plan may be updated at times associated with transportation resource change deadlines from one or more transportation resource providers. Adjustments to previously scheduled transportation resources may be made based on the updated transportation plan.

    Abstract: A bulk data distribution system in which, instead of multiple data consumers contending to access the same data sets from a primary data store, one or more producers capture snapshots (states of the data sets at particular points in time) and upload the snapshots to an intermediate data store for access by snapshot consumers. The snapshot consumers may download the snapshots to generate local versions of the data sets for access by one or more data processing applications or processes. A snapshot producer may periodically generate full snapshots of a data set, and may generate one or more incremental snapshots of the data set between full snapshots. A snapshot consumer may bootstrap a local data set from a full snapshot and one or more incrementals, and may maintain state of the local data set by accessing new snapshots uploaded by the producer.
