Apprendre Challenge: Automate Daily Operations Report

As you have seen throughout this course, Python is an invaluable tool for automating routine reporting tasks in operations management. By leveraging Python's ability to quickly process and summarize data, you can create scripts that save time, reduce errors, and provide actionable insights to help you manage daily warehouse activities more efficiently.

# Example of a daily operations summary report output format

print("=== Daily Operations Report ===")
print("Total orders: 15")
print("Completed orders: 10")
print("Pending orders: 5")
print("Highest-priority pending order: {'item': 'Printer Paper', 'quantity': 2, 'status': 'pending', 'priority': 1}")
print("===============================")

When working with lists of dictionaries in Python, you can iterate through each dictionary (representing, for example, an order) and extract the fields you need for your summary. Use loops to count items that meet certain criteria, such as completed or pending orders, and use the min() or max() function with a custom key to find the order with the highest priority. Remember that lower numbers can represent higher priority if that's how your data is structured.

Write a Python script to automate the generation of a daily operations report for a small warehouse. The script should use the provided list of order dictionaries, where each dictionary contains the fields 'item', 'quantity', 'status', and 'priority'.

Calculate the total number of orders.
Determine the number of completed orders.
Determine the number of pending orders.
Identify the highest-priority pending order, where a lower priority number means higher priority.
Print a summary report in a readable format, including all of the above information.
