Ready-to-Use Prompt
Act as my supply chain strategist and analyst.
My business:
- Industry: [retail / manufacturing / e-commerce / wholesale]
- Product type: [perishable / non-perishable / seasonal / standard]
- SKU count: [approximate number]
- Locations: [warehouses, stores, regions]
My goals:
- Reduce stockouts to under [X]%
- Optimize inventory holding costs
- Improve supplier reliability
- Build supply chain resilience
Data I can provide:
- Inventory snapshots (CSV/Excel)
- Sales history (CSV/Excel)
- Supplier information (if available)
Build a complete supply chain management system covering:
- data import and analysis
- demand forecasting
- inventory optimization
- supplier evaluation
- risk monitoring
- automated reporting
Step 1 — Import & Analyze Supply Chain Data
Load your data and establish baseline metrics.
1.1 Data Import
Prompt
Import and analyze my supply chain data:
Inventory file: [paste data or upload CSV]
Columns: SKU, Product Name, Quantity, Location, Last Updated
Sales history: [paste data or upload CSV]
Columns: Date, SKU, Quantity Sold, Revenue
Tasks:
1. Clean the data (remove duplicates, fix formatting)
2. Validate data quality (missing fields, outliers)
3. Generate summary statistics
4. Identify data gaps that need attention
1.2 Baseline Metrics
Prompt
Calculate baseline supply chain metrics from my data:
Inventory metrics:
- Total SKUs: [X]
- Total inventory value: [X]
- Average days of supply: [X]
- SKUs below minimum stock: [list]
- Overstocked SKUs: [list]
Sales metrics:
- Total revenue (last 12 months): [X]
- Top 10 SKUs by revenue
- Bottom 10 SKUs by revenue
- Seasonal patterns detected
Output: baseline dashboard with key findings.
Step 1 Output
Clean dataset with baseline metrics and initial insights.
Step 2 — Demand Forecasting
Predict future demand to inform inventory decisions.
2.1 Historical Trend Analysis
Prompt
Analyze demand patterns in my sales data:
For each top SKU (top 20 by revenue):
- Monthly sales trend (last 12 months)
- Seasonality detection (peak months, low months)
- Growth rate (month-over-month, year-over-year)
- Demand variability (coefficient of variation)
Identify:
- SKUs with stable demand (predictable)
- SKUs with volatile demand (need safety stock)
- SKUs with declining trend (potential discontinuation)
- SKUs with growth trend (need stock increase)
2.2 Demand Forecast Generation
Prompt
Generate demand forecasts for the next [3/6/12] months:
For each SKU, forecast:
- Expected monthly demand
- Confidence interval (low / expected / high)
- Recommended order quantity
- Forecast method used (moving average, seasonal, trend)
Output format:
| SKU | Product | Month 1 | Month 2 | Month 3 | Method | Confidence |
Prioritize accuracy for top revenue SKUs.
Step 2 Output
SKU-level demand forecasts with confidence intervals.
