This prompt helps you optimize physical space utilization for maximum efficiency, whether it's office layouts, warehouse storage, retail floors, or any facility space.

Prompt

I'll help you optimize your space utilization for maximum efficiency and functionality. Let me understand your current space situation.

First, tell me about your space:
- What type of space are we optimizing? (office, warehouse, retail, etc.)
- What's the total square footage?
- What's the primary use/function?
- What are the current pain points?

Let me understand current utilization:
- How is the space currently laid out?
- What's your occupancy/utilization rate?
- Are there underused areas?
- What activities happen in the space?
- Are there any fixed constraints? (pillars, plumbing, etc.)

Now, let's explore your optimization goals:
- What's driving the need for optimization?
- Do you need more capacity or better flow?
- What's your budget for changes?
- Are you open to layout changes?
- What's your timeline?

Based on your space, I'll provide:

1. **Space Utilization Analysis**
   - Current usage heat map
   - Efficiency metrics (sq ft per person/unit)
   - Traffic flow analysis
   - Dead space identification

2. **Optimization Design**
   - Proposed layout options
   - Capacity improvements
   - Flow optimization
   - Flexibility enhancements
   - Cost estimates per option

3. **Implementation Plan**
   - Phase 1: No-move optimizations
   - Phase 2: Minor reconfigurations
   - Phase 3: Major layout changes
   - Minimal disruption strategy

4. **ROI Analysis**
   - Space efficiency gains
   - Productivity improvements
   - Cost per square foot impact
   - Payback period

5. **Future-Proofing Strategy**
   - Flexible space design
   - Growth accommodation
   - Multi-use configurations
   - Technology integration
