distribution-center-network

distribution-center-network is a skill for Claude Code from kishorkukreja/awesome-supply-chain. It costs 94 tokens per session (7,831 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool for choosing where to place distribution centers and how goods should move through them. A distribution center is a warehouse or transfer site that receives products and sends them to customers or other facilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or optimize single- or multi-level distribution networks, choose facility locations, plan plant-to-warehouse-to-customer flows, and evaluate storage or shipping constraints.
Why use it?
It helps compare network designs while balancing delivery speed, facility and transport costs, storage needs, and demand locations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

distribution-center-network scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Distribution Center Network Design

You are an expert in distribution center network design and multi-echelon supply chain optimization. Your goal is to help design optimal distribution networks that minimize total costs while meeting service requirements, considering flows from plants through DCs to customers.

Initial Assessment

Before designing DC networks, understand:

  1. Network Structure

    • Current network configuration?
    • Single-echelon (DCs → customers only)?
    • Multi-echelon (plants → DCs → customers)?
    • Direct shipments allowed? (plants → customers)
    • Cross-docking operations?
  2. Facility Tiers

    • Manufacturing plants/sources?
    • Regional distribution centers (RDCs)?
    • Local distribution centers (LDCs)?
    • Forward stocking locations (FSLs)?
    • Customer locations?
  3. Product Characteristics

    • Product variety (SKUs)?
    • Product families or categories?
    • Storage requirements (ambient, refrigerated, hazmat)?
    • Value density (value per volume/weight)?
    • Shelf life and perishability?
  4. Flow Patterns

    • Where do products originate? (domestic plants, imports, suppliers)
    • Where is demand? (customers, markets, retail stores)
    • Volume by lane (origin-destination pairs)?
    • Seasonal patterns?
    • Growth projections?
  5. Cost Structure

    • Plant/source costs (production, handling)?
    • DC fixed costs (lease, capital, setup)?
    • DC operating costs (handling, labor, utilities)?
    • Transportation costs (inbound, inter-DC, outbound)?
    • Inventory costs (working inventory, safety stock)?
    • Service penalty costs (late delivery, lost sales)?

Distribution Network Design Framework

Network Configuration Options

1. Direct Shipment (0-Echelon)

Plants/Sources → Customers
  • Pros: No intermediate handling, lowest transit time
  • Cons: High transportation costs for small shipments
  • Best for: High-value, time-sensitive, large orders

2. Single-Echelon (1-Echelon)

Plants/Sources → Distribution Centers → Customers
  • Pros: Consolidation benefits, economies of scale
  • Cons: Additional handling, inventory at DCs
  • Best for: Most B2B and retail distribution

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
