Operations & Supply Chain AI Starter Kit
Nine prompts in sequence that take an operation from "something is off" to a roadmap of what to change first — each carrying the method behind it and the inputs to have ready.
What's inside
- 9 prompts arranged as a workflow — diagnose (process, constraint, measures), analyze (demand, inventory, suppliers, supplier risk), plan (cost ideas, roadmap) — each with its use case, when to use it, inputs and a note on what to challenge in the output
- An intake worksheet listing every input the nine prompts need, so you gather the data once
- Where each method breaks: thin history, planned vs actual lead times, nameplate vs demonstrated capacity, allocated vs marginal cost
- A what-to-do-next path into the full hub

See the process as it actually runs and where the time goes. A current-state map with process, wait and rework quantified, and waste identified by type with evidence.
Act as a continuous improvement lead building a current-state map of [process]. Walk-through: [step, who performs it, system or tool, process time, wait time before it, batch size, error/rework rate, handoffs] Volumes: [units per period] Demand rate: [takt if relevant] Known pain points: [from the team] 1. Build the map as a t…
Identify the step that governs throughput — from queue evidence, not noise. Locating the true bottleneck rather than the noisiest station.
Act as an operations analyst identifying the constraint in [process]. Process: [steps in sequence; for each: design capacity, demonstrated throughput, utilization, WIP or queue before it, cycle time through it, downtime %, changeover time, staffing] Demand: [rate the process must meet] Observations: [where work waits, where exp…
Where stock is tied up, which policies are wrong, and the cash at stake. A clear picture of where inventory is tied up, what is working and what is not.
Act as an inventory analyst running a health check on [site / category]. Data: [item, on-hand qty, unit cost, 12-month usage, lead time, reorder point / min / max, ABC class, lifecycle status, last movement date] Targets: [service level by class, weeks of cover target by class] Carrying cost rate: [% per year] 1. Compute for e…
